Almost TOO much to do

Cutter's Log - Stardate 9002.81.90

I've been so worried about work that I sort of put everything else on the backburner. I'll bet work will be on the backburner when this everything else is accomplished.

My car is a mess. I bought a bicycle last week (yes, I finally got one), and had to move all of the things out of my trunk to fit it in. They're still in my backseat. I may as well get my car cleaned while I'm at that.

I'm starting to make the transition from debit card purchases to writing checks. Of course, I'll have to prewrite them before I enter the store. If I know how much something will cost, I'll write down the price before I walk in. This kind of saves "line time." Coming in with a pre-written check is slightly shorter than using a card (trust me I know). But there's an actual reason for me writing checks. Fast food joints do not take checks. If I get into the habit of writing checks, I will not be likely to drive up to one.

Otherwise, finances are going to be a bit slim. My paycheck will be weak for obvious reasons. Also, since I will be using checks more, it will seem as if I'm getting paid on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Here's why, the direct deposits are entered at 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, but I won't know exactly how much until the stubs come in on Thursday.

I will be going to the Western Big 6 Football Coaches Banquet tomorrow night. I'll try to use that to write my Western Big 6 Conference Call for Edgy Tim. I also have the rest of this week and next to organize these. Plus a Friday 5 for Friday. I also have to set up the pick'ems on Saturday. Other than that, no more NISB stuff until Week 1 of the football season.

I was offered to be my grandmother's executor of her Will. I checked a book out from the library and will start reading about all of this soon.

Classes began yesterday. The Film Appreciation one seems to be going real well, and I will experience the math one tonight. It's my first math class in four years.

I'm going on the bike.
