December debt goal reached

December 26th, 2014 at 07:19 pm

AS's student loan payment hit, the last debt payment of the year. $141 went to principal, so that takes us to $1581 of debt paid this month.

On my "official" debt tally, we are now under $10K in student loan debt. However, we have another $4K loan that I'm not counting because we also have the money to pay it off. But chances are I'll use that money to either pay off the duplex seller or get out of the condo mortgage, so at that point the student loan will be added to the debt tally. So it's not very exciting to be under $10K on student loans on that spreadsheet; it's not real and probably won't last very long.

It's weird to go into 2015 without stated goals, but it's not because I have no direction. I have some pretty specific ideas of what I want to do, it's just that it's hard to predict how much progress I'll be able to make. Once a few more things shake out, I'll have a better sense. I'm still very optimistic about the future. We can definitely afford to keep paying all the bills and setting aside a bit of surplus money, and once the condo sells we'll be able to do a lot more than that.

Everyone is still sick here, but I'm still the least sick of everyone. I really got away with a milder form of whatever this is, at least I hope I don't get it worse later on.

Last night we chipped in with our tenants to buy the new season of Doctor Who on Amazon instant watch, so that's mainly what the grownups will be doing whenever the kids are asleep!

    I love Doctor Who! We've downloaded the Christmas Special from the bbc iplayer... need to wait until F falls asleep so that we can watch...

    I hope you like the 12th Doctor better than I do. I really like Peter Capaldi, but I really dislike the way his Doctor is being written.

    I'm liking it so far! It's always a little disorienting to start watching a new one because they change up more than the personality and the TARDIS; the nature of the adventures also changes. I love his much dryer humor and the fact that he has like the opposite of an attraction to Clara! It's interesting that he's more calculating about life and death than any of them for a while (Eccleston was sort of similar). The only thing that's bothered me so far is that the lizard lady and her wife seemed to act differently from all the other times they appeared. There was no reason for them to change, so it was jarring.

    Yeah, I totally agree about the lizard lady and Jenny, like personality transplants. I've always hated Strax so that always grumps me out, too. I really didn't like the way Clara was treated in that episode. I do have to say that I just watched the Christmas special (no spoilers) and it was the first time I really warmed up to Twelve. It's weird, because with eleven of them, I've never taken so long to enjoy the new guy. Nine was calculating, but I never for a moment doubted his love for humanity, or Rose. He was sad, but he still found so much joy in all of the little things. The Christmas ep was the first time I really felt Twelve felt any true joy, or saw the huge amount of charm that Peter Capaldi has as a person come through in the character.
