It's been quite the hectic hump day for me. Last night "the estranged one" announced that our property taxes had to be paid today, and he didn't have the money. I was all for paying them a bit late, despite a 10% penalty, but he would have none of that. "The penalty is nearly a hundred bucks!" he screamed at me. I tried to explain to him that it was MY money, so it really shouldn't matter to him, but he just didn't understand. And so it was that I had to dip into my meager savings once again. There is now nearly nothing left. Buying Christmas gifts this year is going to be a real challenge. I was hoping to use a few hundred from my savings to buy gifts, but the taxes used up too much of them for me to do that. I guess that I'll just have to hone my bargain hunting skills.
To make matters worse, my savings is stored in a rather small credit union. Their hours are quite short. I had to call them from my cell phone while I was at work and ask them to leave the check at the window of the post office where they are located for me to pick up since I could not get there before they closed. After picking up the check, I had to rush to the bank to cash it before it closed. The line was nearly out the door! ARRGH!
The check eventually got cashed and the taxes were paid, but what did I get in return?
He (The Estranged One) told me that I am beautiful. But then I guess that I am, compared to that skank he was messing with last year.
He loves the new coat that I bought on Sunday. What?! Him appreciating something that I spent precious money on... How can this be?
He sprang for a large pizza. Forgive me if I'm not impressed!
I'm really needing some Hump Day Hunks to bring me true joy...
