Return of accountability

Wow, it’s been a while.  I have been preoccupied with other things in life and just didn’t feel I had a lot to say financially.  I still don’t have a lot of things to say or point out, but because this is all about keeping myself accountable, here’s a run of things;

- EF is inexistent still

- I’ve worked a good amount of hours at my pt job, which has kept me constantly busy and very, very tired

- Working extra hours at my part time job has made me realize I may have to purchase work shoes instead of using shoes that offer no support whatsoever; even if that means spending $40. Eventually.

- I have also increased my availability ever so slightly, which means a bit more income

- Too many things on my mind to be constantly re-checking my finances. Thank goodness they’re pretty much in cruise control and I don’t have to worry about things in the future

- I’ve gone grocery shopping 3 times since my last post.  I have regained some insight about things I know I need to purchase more often than others

- I had a blast driving to NC and visiting my friend for his graduation.  It was such an accommodating family and environment; I couldn’t have asked for a better time.  The only part that sucked was leaving in the middle of their family get together.  For only $100 in gas and 10hrs of driving roundtrip, I may do it again sometime

- I’m not ready for my vacation next weekend (7/13). Not even packed.  Not mentally prepared either, but that stays within my personal boundary

- Only 7 payments left on my dad’s car!

- 3 more months until I’m done with taxes, which means I can go fast and furious into rebuilding my EF

Reason I want to continue to blog is partially because I miss it, and partially because it feels as if I’m escaping from becoming accountable for my actions.  Though I haven’t really gone out and done anything I wasn’t planning on doing (financially), it is just uncomfortable to still be without an EF for so long and taking this much time to get it rebuilt.  I know I probably have a good 2-3 months before I can fully begin working on saving once again, which will put me into Christmas’ door... but I’ll keep rolling with the punches.  

Speaking of Christmas, I need to go over that list I created at the beginning of the year.  I haven’t read a single book, and I can’t seriously promise I will start now.  I used to be such an avid reader, so I wonder what happened there.  Oh well.  Since this Friday is payday, I'll do a major summary of how things have gone since my last post.

Stay safe, stay cool, and have fun for those of you that get July 4^th off!
