Ah ha!

I was still having problems with the bank site. After tinkering around trying to figure out whether it was No-Script, FireFox, or Microsoft (or some combination) that was making it so the long-in window was inaccessible, I finally found a workaround. The problem is, the page saying the site was untrusted was shoved into a tiny window and I had no means of resizing to tell the machine to unblock it! ARGHHHhhhhH! Finally, after tinkering with the mouse buttons as if in a first person shooter, I noticed one of the lines suggest something about opening the window in a new tab. Hmm, couldn't hurt, right? Probably. Who knew? So, *click* and... there she was... permission rights. I granted those and on into my bank account I went.

Well, it does look like I just spent a lot this month. I looked over things and, yep, there was that. Oh, and this. And... my! I spent like a drunk sailor this month. But too, plane tickets were on there. I suspect, with my mother showing up next month, I will be broke and more again. If I thought I was bad, throw a woman into the mix and I might end up down $10k somehow. Yeah, women know how to do that, then they look at us like we are stupid or something. hehehe Got to admit, that is classic.

I then went to my other account, put just enough for groceries on the debit side. I have enough in coin and small bills to smooth over my mother's visit. It's going to be a squeaker though. One of the things I am hoping to do while she is here is replace the ground floor spare bedroom window (and I might try to do that before she gets here, if I can figure it all out) and then there is the two day stop in SLC. Rooms close enough start at around $180 for two nights. So, money money money and she isn't even here yet! But that's okay. I actually wish I had a little more, and some to send her home with. Hmm, she knows that will be her room should she ever decide to split time between my brother and my house, at least until she could find a little place of her own. She has thought about us two working on the thing, changing the window out that is. But I am not seeing that. Buying windows as a non-contractor cost almost as much as simply having a window installed. *sigh*

I may run into town and do some shopping. I am not only hungry, I am darned hungry. Plus a bit of food on the way back. So be it. Oh, if you think you are into logic, social understanding, finances, and are more or less on the traditional or conservative or libertarian side of things, I cannot suggest enough that you read "What's Wrong With the World" by G.H. Chesterton. He'll clobber you when you don't even see it coming and open up whole new vistas through which to watch the world burn. And don't think you will get off light, if he is rather gentle about his psychic punishments.

I best get going if I want to get good groceries. Good night, or... later most likely. Those naps are throwing things off a bit. Bleh.
