I had told Angie I would make sure she had a good Christmas this year and I will. Angie’s idea of a good Christmas is having enough money to buy a bunch of presents for everyone. That is always been their families idea of good Holidays as a whole. If it is Christmas, lots of presents, if it is Easter, lots of presents… any holiday, their idea of a good time is presents. This flies in the face of everything I believe it but I told her she would have a good Christmas.
I’ll put a long story short. She spent 1,200.00 and was upset because she actually spent an extra 500.00 and I was pissed she did that. She doesn’t understand that if you don’t have the freaking money, don’t spend it. What she did was steal money from her mom, telling all of her family I would send it to her, spent it and then told me. To top it off she didn’t know why I was mad.
All of that, telling her I would make sure she had a good Christmas was predicated on the fact she would be divorced when Christmas came around. Well, I’m pretty sure she is not divorced at this time but she still spent the money and expected me to bail her out….
Which I did….
Go ahead and pop me in the back of the head….
That is what I said, Angie sent me a message today that reads ‘We have to come up with the lawyer asap’. My thoughts are: ‘Who the heck is we’ and why. I am going to have nothing to do with her divorce. More to come when I find out more.
Angie called me last night to let me know what the kids wanted for Christmas and the items were reasonably prices. I guess with age come the wisdom regarding the cost of things you ask for… Nice to see them grow up. 🙂
I am doing really well at sticking to just one thing lately, not so go at sticking to my diet and exercise routine, better get that whip out.
There is only one way I can achieve my retirement goals and that is to decided on exactly what I want to do to have the residual income I need and stick to it. When creating entries in my daily journal, called ‘Journey’s’ I have been noticing entries I had made a year ago and more. The last one struck me as a reason I am not getting ahead. The reason/excuse, what ever you want to call it is I don’t follow completely through with things that will eventually make a difference.
I’m not sure if it is because I get bored, find another interest and get side tracked, I’m not really sure. My goal right now is to finish the book I already reviewed and complete the game. So far it is going well but when I run into a difficult area I’m sure that is when my attention wanders and I find another task to do and abandon the items on my plate.
It is time to finish my plate before I take another helping of another project.
Finished up a book review the week before last and one of the perks is receiving a hard copy when it is published. The hard copy came today, Monday the 6th of November 2017.
