The remains of the pot.....

     We're talking Saturday morning coffee pot here gang.  Yet another salacious title.  Tsk.  Tsk.  Tsk.

     This has been a really, really long week.  With what is going on here and the work load at work is simply insane.  One of our brands is ordering shit like crazy.  We are getting it out but are being hampered by our machine having issues.  Issues the techs can't seem to fix.

     I am still broke.  I still do not have enough money to cover the household bills, which remain unpaid for February.  I can't even pay my own.  I did get paid yesterday so I will see what exactly I can do.  If anything at all.

     At some point in this depressing week in the house progress was made.  Firstly we found the paperwork.  My sister agreed to let his sister help us.  I was even happy she was willing to come out here.  That was my goal.

     I wanted 1 or both of the trustees to see the mess we live in.  Not to be.  Brother in law scanned in the Social Security paper work and sent emailed it to sister.  Basically, it's been done.  If anything there is one section that didn't need to be filled out.  So that's a bit of good news.

     Also they've relented and are sending him and my sister $1,000 from the trust.  With 2 more to follow when paper work is done.  How much will the house see?  None I wager.

     Because of the impending snow storm and the fact that he thinks we can finish the paperwork on our own, sister is not coming.  Yes I'm disappointed.  I was ready for a confrontation.  Oh well.

     So right now as it stands.  I cannot spend so much as an extra dollar until the 15th.  Exception of course being gas.  Maybe no cigar lounge either.  

     My plans right now are to drag a comb across my head.  (purely Beatle ref as I don't even own a comb.)   Go to bank.  I think I will spend some time at the library in the reading room today.  There's a book I've been meaning to read.

     Tomorrow will I hit the lounge?  Oh that really is the question isn't it?  In truth I'm not sure.  I should know better when I pay everything.  My spending has been low.  But putting things on my Amex has got me in receipt of skyrocketing bills.  So I must do a cursory budget.  I've gotten to the point where I spend a whooping $4 a week on myself.  Not a day.  A 5 day work week.

     Tensions have eased considerably, they always do when there's a check promised.  My 3 month plan?  Still in effect.  If I'm stuck here I will clean.  I plan to keep food bills low as well.  My jaw hit the floor last night when they did take out.

     Brother in law even asked if she wanted the meatballs and fettuccini alfredo they couldn't afford last night.  I was aghast.  There was tuna salad and pasta in the fridge.  Yup.  I had tuna.  They wound up with sandwiches from the kosher deli.  $28 for 2 sandwhiches and a side of potatoe pancakes.  

     I had a very nice tuna wrap with avacado, salad greens, and I couldn't say no to a bit of shredded cheddar on it.  Not bad at all.  Coffee is almost done.  Going to make a quick egg with jalapeno on top of half a bagel.  Then the rest of my day.  Have a good one.
