$53.44

That is the current balance in my checking account.

*sigh* and I just got paid yesterday.

The good news is, I got me a new job. I am really excited about it. Good pay. ideal hours. benefits.

Yep, looks like I have to be a grown up afterall. It could be worse, I suppose. Doing the 9 to 5 thing has got to be better than trying to figure out how I am going to make it through another week with $52.44 to my name. Some child support would be cool. But I aint opening that can of shit right now.........that is a whole 'nother post that is bound to be LONG and generously strewn with expletives. So I am walking away............

But. I am optimistic. Yes I am. Right now I got the theme song to the "Jefferson's" in my head. I don't know about the dee-luxe apartment in the sky, but I definately think I am movin on up. (but what does burning beans have to do with it?)

I'll be OK folks. Dont you worry about me. Just wish me luck with the new gig.

Thanks.
