Terrible, Horrible, No-good, Very Bad....

What a day, and it's only noon. I guess it's not the worst day I've ever had, but right now that doesn't seem to matter so much. Once again, money is the bane of my existence--I forgot about the gas bill. I wrote a check, and it was paid, but I forgot that it was going to happen, and completely miscalculated my spending money.... Which I could have fixed, had I checked my balance sooner. But no. So, last night I realized that I had $3 to my name and the check I wrote for our phone bill still hadn't gone through. So, I got some money owed, intending to deposit it today to cover the check. You can guess what happened. It already went through, and was posted this morning. So once again, I've been slapped with an insane insufficient funds fee. Why do I always forget the gas bill?

Perhaps that's the only thing that's really gone wrong with the day. Except for the fact that neither Amtrak nor Greyhound can get me to Vermont and back for a wedding without me having to stay overnight there. I'm okay with sleeping on the train, or even the bus, I really am. But apparently neither mode of transportation wants me to do that. So there goes an effort to save some money, of which I already have so little....

Let's all be like Star Trek and get rid of money. *sighs* Except sometimes, like when I'm free to spend it, I like it so much......
