We gots money, frustration and good news

 So for some reason, the bank isn't emailing me that I got paid 'early' anymore. So I was bummed out this morning when I woke up and got no email. That put a damper on my whole day that was compounded by only having toast and peanut butter for breakfast. 


 ¾ moon  yesterday afternoon, best I could do with my phone camera zoomed in to 4 x. Again, the colors are a LOT deeper than what they actually are.

I woke up, Jon came in and said we got money which alleviated some of my mood but I didn't sleep well which was another factor in my day. We don't get EBT until Sunday which is okay but still made me cranky as we had to go to Costco for gas and paper goods. What really irked me, and am still trying to figure out how to lovingly but firmly tell Jon, is he spent $50 on a an Elvis CD set before I even got out of bed. I had just told him last night that we needed to spend less and save money so we have some at the end of the month. What does he do firs thing we get money? So I am really miffed beyond reason that he did that. We just came through two weeks of scraping and scrimping and asking for a few extra dollars from people to make it to the end of the month. The man has no willpower at all when it comes to his own 'hobbies' and I haven't spent any of my own money on my hobbies in months if not years because I have to pay all the bills out of my money except for the rent that he helps with half. 

Forgive me if I'm a bit frustrated, jealous and a bit angry that he has fewer bills and a bit more money than I do to spend and doesn't see a problem spending that much money on something that does not do anything for both of us. Is that unreasonable or selfish? 

Anyway. We got paper goods, sodas and a bag of chips on his money, forgot to get water but we'll be going out on Sunday or Monday for that. He kept asking if I wanted to get anything else at Costco and again I had to bite my tongue and say 'not today' because I know he would use his money for it and I knew we were going to the sandwich shop for lunch. I don't have the budget for getting anything on my 'regular' money. I don't think it's sunk in with him that I have an auto payment to the hospital for $90 and now an extra payment on top of that for another bill, plus all the regular bills. I think I have to remind him every month or two weeks of how much money I have to spend on keeping a roof over our head, the electricity on and my storage paid in addition to everything else.

We did stop at the sandwich shop we haven't been to in a while and went dutch because it was actually cheaper than Jersey Mike's. My sandwich only cost $11 but his was more because he got a bigger sandwich. We have left overs for dinner later and have milk and cereal now (from his money) so we're okay for a day or two. Oh, taste and food sensory have gotten back on track. I had an entire coke and it didn't taste weird or 'separated'. Only going to have one a day anyway but it was nice to have after the sandwich.  

As for the good news, Amber got accepted into SDSU for the Fall semester! She was so cute though, I was in the shower and left my phone in the bedroom so I came back to my phone message saying MOOOOOMMMMM! MOOOMMMM! MOM! I got accepted in SDSU! She also announced it on Facebook which she isn't on much but it's that big a deal. I told her I had no doubt she'd be accepted. She's getting her degree in International Business and if she goes through with her Korea track she'll do 2 years here and then the last year in Korea.  If the world doesn't totally unravel and blow up by then. I told her that and she sent back a 🫰.  Forgot to ask if she had started the process of getting her passport.

The weather has officially turned to Summer, got up to 96 today while we were out. So it's warming up and 'looking a lot like Summer'.... bleh. Jon's taking a nap as usual for this time of day, Rocky is doing the same on the headboard.... Just in a mood today for various reasons.
