More debt progress in September

September 29th, 2010 at 08:05 pm

I'm on a roll this month! Two of AS's student loan payments hit: $115 and $59 to principal, so $174 total. That makes it $3851 of debt paid in September.

That'll be it for debt payments this month. October won't be nearly as impressive, what with me having to take unpaid time off for our England trip. Also, I set up that meeting with the family-planning lawyer, so car rental and lawyer fees will cost us a few hundred. However, NT may get a bonus and some OT pay, and AS might get her freelance check, so I'm still hoping to pay off the last of my credit card debt next month. Ooooh, I hope so!

I realized I was feeling stressed about the family time coming up in England; afraid that the trip would be more exhausting than relaxing, when I really need a vacation. I vented a ton to NT last night and it actually made me feel much calmer! I think bottling in my worries was making them much worse. Now I feel ready to face the trip with an open mind. Maybe his family will take pity and be less weird and stressful than mine and AS's were during our July DC trip. Smile

    I've concluded it's best to share things, too. Does your upcoming trip include any time alone with just your family? If not, I'd consider trying to work it in!

    Not really, Laura. We do have three days with some fun, slacker friends of ours, who have a big (for England) house and do not object to hours watching TV or playing video games. That comes at the end of the trip, so if I'm completely exhausted, I'm going to take that prerogative and laze around like my life depended on it!

    Sometimes like-minded individual can be an extension of your own family unit, as I've recently learned. My kids don't really like company where we worry about cloth napkins and scented candles in the bathroom (and we do know these kinds of friends). Last Sunday we had friends over - two single people who never met (no intention of matchmaking as one is presently anti-man and the other wants to become a priest). My best friend brought Yahtzee and a dozen Dunkin Donuts. We had the best time ever. Why? Like minded individuals who fit nicely into our circle. Sounds like your friends will be the same for you after visiting with family! Have a great trip!
