Deep sigh. So the money stuff is irretrievably hosed and I'll be paying fees all over the place. Unless the gas company is slow to deposit the check. in which case I'm fine.
I'll know either way by the end of the week.
Whatever.

The frustrating thing is that other than that, everything's going fine, but I'm just so upset over money in general that I can't just stop and appreciate that yes, other than that, everything's going fine. I wish I could. I did all right last night, going out and drinking with Dave, and then watching a movie at Corey's. It was pretty cool. But yes, when I woke up, it was still there, the big ol' knot of worry that I'm SO SICK OF.

Money will be fine, just not quite in time for checks not to bounce. Such frustration.

I have a double on Tuesday, and that irritates me, but I asked the woman who used to work that shift about whether I'd be getting out later than scheduled, and she said no, it's never a problem to get out on time. So I will be just fine, and while Tuesday will be long and tiring, it will also send me home with a big fat full wallet. Which everyone knows I need.

I am filled with a desire to get all my Christmas shopping done online, like Dave has, but my credit card is maxed so I can't do that. It's OK. I'll do it at the last minute at the mall like everyone else, and y'know, I'll probably enjoy it. So it'll be OK.
Dave is being smug and mysterious because he has purchased me a totally awesome Christmas gift or gifts, and he is adamant that I am not going to find out what it is. He has always given me absolutely amazing gifts (30 GB iPod, paid for half of the Digital Rebel camera) but always with my input and indeed active participation, so this is different. (Well, he takes Christmas and the element of surprise seriously. Last year's gift was a surprise too, and was lovely.) So, I expect something more modest this year, but whatever it is will be awesome, and since I didn't ask him for anything in particular, I know it will be good.
I have no idea what to get him, which is sad. I wish I could surprise him as well. but I don't know what to get him; I already told Mom all the little gift ideas I'd been squirreling away because she asked, and so she got them for him.
But, i bought him tires; so it's not like I've not bought him anything lately.

And the weather reports? Snow all week. 1-3 inches tonight, 1-3 more tomorrow, 1 more inch tomorrow night. We could get between 4 and 8 inches. That'd be so cool. I am so looking forward to snow. it snowed all day and I watched it and it was pretty, and I got to watch them de-icing the planes too.

Yeah.... there's nothing better than a bunch of snow on a day when you don't have to drive anywhere.
