  • OMG YAY and FML within 12 hours of each other....

    Last night I met with the investor after work. The company is a done deal and as soon as he works out a couple of deals on accounts, we're in business. He talked to me a lot about our long-term goals, there is serious money to be made here. Not immediately, but I'm very hopeful. And now there's no more worrying that he'll change his mind or back out on us. He wants this as much as we do and he's impressed by our determination to make it happen, and our competence to be able to actually make it happen and not run the company into the ground.

    So last night I felt awesome.

    This morning I found out a preauthorized payment that I didn't think was supposed to come out til NEXT Friday hit, along with a payment I knew was coming out, and now I have a whopping bank balance of $-.09. And I don't get paid for 10 days. After panicking and crying all over my counselor (she's awesome, she's been writing off my sessions for the last month due to my financial situation I found out), I've been able to call everyone I owe money to and they've been very nice about waiting until next week to get their money and not turn all my stuff off and/or break my kneecaps.

    I have a $40 dog crate I can return to walmart, since I gave the dog back to my parents, so that will give me at least money to buy some groceries to get by on meager meals and such. Aside from that, if I only go to work and back, I shouldn't need gas for the car... hopefully.

    Someday I'm finally going to catch a break. I will get ahead for once. I firmly believe this. It's just the waiting for it and trying to survive in the meantime that sucks.

          My thoughts are with you, Kara...so glad you're able to keep that level of optimism when things seem so bad.

              "It matters not how strait the gate,
              How charged with punishments the scroll,
              I am the master of my fate:
              I am the captain of my soul."

              Yeah, it's from Invictus (the poem, not the movie) and yeah, some people call it corny, but I always liked it. And it reminds me of you, Kara. "Unconquerable soul."
              When you start at zero, everything's progress.

                Thanks everyone. While it doesn't improve my finances, I do feel good at the moment because I got my blood test results in the mail yesterday. No diabetes or metabolism problems, so yay for that.

                The bigger yay, to me, is that my hormone levels have changed. Of course, this was to be expected... but I had no idea it would be this drastic of a change within such a short amount of time. No wonder my doctor was so interested to see the results. She may have already suspected due to the very low levels of testosterone we found out I had naturally. My hormone levels are now within the "normal" range for a woman my age!

                    It is always darkest before the dawn.

                    If you don't mind me asking, what business are you starting?

                      At least you have a chance at getting yourself out of a financial hole at some foreseeable future... I know wayyyy too many people who have way too long a slog ahead for them...
                      You will get that break... or you'll make it for yourself!
                      EDIT: yay health! That whole "you can't buy health, it's more important than money" quote-thing, is true. I'm glad nothing expensive/terrible like that is on the plate. wow that was awkward parsing. I need sleep.

                            That's a great niche to be in and will always be needed.
