The weight of things

I haven't been posting much this week, I seem to be otherwise distracted with every day issues: in my house, bank account, car, at work. At some time in the last 3 months I got severely behind in my bills and every time I turn around some is demanding I pay them an exhorbitant amount to continue service of some sort.

I'm working on streamlining my bills, I just signed up for Vonage Voip, which will save me $30+ a month in phone bills. I was paying $50 a month to the big T for almost nothing: about $7 worth of long distance and call display. Besides, the high speed connection is sitting there doing nothing for 80% of the day, so I might as well put it to work.

I have this car, it runs but not great, it needs work and I can't afford fixing it, and I can't afford a new car yet, probably not until Dec/Jan. The strut mounts make a racket when I'm hitting cracks in the road, and I think it needs new shocks, oh and the transmission thing is still there lurking waiting to happen again even though right now it seems to be ok. I had to plug the TCC back in because it was turning my 30 mpg car into a 22 mpg car. The next tank after plugging it back in I got an extra 80 kms on the tank!!

The house is fine, but I have to get around to mopping, crack filling, and painting the cement floor so we can move more of X-man's toys down there, HOPEfully this will happen this weekend.

That's the shit, and oh yeah one of these days I am going to create a gallery of pictures of the youngest and quickly growing oldest in my family for all to see. One of these days.
