More MONTH than MONEY!

So the internet is off again at home and here I am at Starbucks. Can't begin to tell you how thankful I am for this place and its Free Wi-Fi. Please don't go getting the wrong idea though...I do buy something...it's just one of the least expensive items on the menu. That way I don't feel like I'm "stealing" their internet.

It's really frustrating not being about to consistently have internet at home.

Yesterday made the 2-month mark for me at my job and I still haven't been able to quite "get head. I no longer feel like I am completely drowning, yet I feel like my nose is just above the water, and for that, I am able to breathe. Still taking in a lot of water through my mouth, but I'm breathing through my nose.

This month I almost got evicted because my rent was late. Here's the story begin that:

I got paid on the 30th and had JUST ENOUGH money to cover rent and maybe gas to get me back and forth to work (that was before the gas prices started going through the roof).

I informed my property manager that I did not have enough to cover the ENTIRE rent and that I would pay 3/4 at that time, and the rest when I get paid again on the 15th. Mind you...I have lived at my residence for EIGHT years, and I am an EXELLENT tenant. You would think they'd've taken that into consideration.

Instead, I received a resound NO, and was advised that if I did NOT have the rent IN FULL on the 3rd, they would begin the eviction process.

So...there went my WHOLE check

.

Thankfully, I have a hodge-podge of food in my kitchen cupboards, so I won't be hungry. And I have enough change in my change container to get me back and forth to work until Wednesday (hopfefully). I gotta tell ya....It's rough...BUT I'm gonna make it.

According to the song, "It's hard out here for a pimp." To that I say, "Pimps ain't the only ones!!!"

How 'bout you...

Let the DIALOGUE begin: Are you living "paycheck-to-almost paycheck" as I am, or are things going a bit better for you in your world?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
