I have to admit, I really enjoy saying the following when I make a call.

“Hi. I’m going to be paying off my balance in full next week. I need to get the payoff amount.”

The meeting is set for 4PM on Monday. There is a 3 day waiting period in which I can cancel if I wish to, so I’ll get my checks on Thursday. Tonight I have to compile a list of recipients and the amounts they are being paid, then figure out how much I’m taking out for myself.

I’m so excited. I’m going to be paying off everyone and everything, including my student loan and my back taxes. In the end I’ll be making a monthly payment that is about the equivalent of my current debt consolidation payment. A hell of a trade off.

I’ll have to reconfigure my budget for 2005 this weekend. It’s going to include money into savings. I’m going to stop taking money out of my SEP account every pay period.

I am about to press the financial reset button, and it’s a great feeling.

AND I’m getting a new computer.

Yeah, boyee!

So last night I finally had a bit of a breakdown over the whole R. situation. Apparently I’ve been a bit of a grump the last few days, and I’ve been snapping quite a bit. This finally erupted into a fight with K. Once we got that sorted out we started talking about what was going on in my head, and I ended up having a little cry while she held me.

She said a lot last night that made sense. Things about G_d and the universe. Things that are making me think. A lot.

Don’t ever fool yourself into thinking otherwise, folks. Her wisdom in certain things is great indeed, and it’s yet another thing I love about her.

I applied for graduation today.

The final semester starts Monday.

Her first semester starts Monday.

I think that’s kind of cool.

Heading off to lunch. Have a good one, my friends.
