I try. however, this month is going to be tighter than most. I had to blow my
budget just to make sure I have clean clothes (dryers, even used ones, are so
expensive).

on top of everything else, I've been helping the room mates here with their
car (I.E. working under the hood). its been a rough couple of days and if the
car isn't working, its going to be a horrifying month.

so......... I gotta get back to working this out (or die trying).
