Adventures in Moneyland

I took it upon myself today to pay some major debts. First the credit card, to which we charged a large portion of the bathroom to. Thanks, IRS. It was almost a full year before we got our refund, but hey I can't complain. Then off to get a money order for my student loan. Now, I would have sent them a check, but I was paying with our new Wells Fargo account, and we have no checks yet. No big deal, I'll just use my debit card and get a money order. But surprise! I forgot Steven has my debit card. Damn. So now I have to go into that bank, and withdraw the money. I get the money, go to the post office for a money order. I know what you're thinking, "why not just get a money order at the bank?" A better question would be why not just pay the damn thing online? Well I like to do things the hard way, that's why. But apparently, if you are carrying around a large amount of cash with you, you attract some suspicion. I had to fill out a special form at the post office, which included my social security number and every other number associated with me. Damn.

Anyway, all is well. Only three more debts to our name: house and cars. If we hadn't bought this house we'd be debt free in a year. Oh well.

When I was at the post office, an old man made a comment to me that I looked like I need more sleep. Thanks, old dude! That's a nice thing to tell a total stranger, "hey stranger, you look like shit! Get some sleep!" Unfortunately, old dude was right. I am totally in need of a 46 hour nap. Just thinking about my nice warm bed makes me sad and full of desire at the same time. In 18 short years, we'll be able to rekindle our relationship. Until then, I'll just have to remember the good times we had.
