Every other weekend the Wee!Pixie get to go to her dads and I'm left to fend for myself. Today is such a day. The pressure to have fun is overwhelming sometimes. Like tonight. I'm gonna try though. I've put on the regular "too much" make up, the same dress I always wear out, and had two glasses of wine. In ten minutes I'm meeting up with friends I normally don't hang out with, just to avoid being that sad middle-aged woman sitting alone at home. Wish me luck!
Huge chunk of cash in my bank account. And then comes the bill paying silliness I indulge myself with each month.... Aaaaand now I'm back at square one again.
Well, not really. I had an insane amount of bills to pay this month, but thanks to my new pay check I'm actually sitting pretty comfortably until next the one comes in. Not like I'm floating on fluffy pillows-comfortably, but maybe a good kitchen chair-comfortably. And that's pretty good!
And if you've managed to miss that adorable online cartoon Scandinavia and the World, please rectify that at once! But I'm warning you: once you start, you can't stop... ;)
For years... or more like - for ever - I've been dirt poor. Not homeless poor, but too-much-month-left-when-bank-account-is-empty poor. Now I've landed this cool new job with a hefty raise and I've now worked almost all of my first month. I've tried not to, but my head have been spinning for months about all the things I'm gonna do with all this money I'm gonna get. Stupid, I know. But I can't help it! It's not like I'm gonna be a millionaire or anything like that, but I'm actually finally gonna get an "age appropriate" pay check! And the first one will be in my bank account in exactly seven days.
I might even take a real holiday trip this year. One that actually requires a passport and a plane ride! I haven't done that in almost ten years. And counting the years since I've taken a charter to the sun, it's more like fifteen or more.
So is this it? Is this the moment when my ship comes in? Can I exhale now?
