Perhaps it's not the biggest disappointment in the world, but it sure feels like a big one. The book is now closed on the infamous Cavenders gift card. The card, in its final valuation of 217.00, sold for a mere 130.00. I call it a disappointment. It certainly was, considering I had hoped to sell it (in 500.00 form) for 400-425.00.
I am so kidding myself. I sure as hell wish that Shelly could do without her 150-200.00 "Shellymoney" right now. I know she deserves a lot, and this is all my fault for many reasons, but I face a quandry every time she wants something: Either she gets it and is happy, or she doesn't in which case my life at the moment (and for awhile after) is a living hell - both from an "Angry and Vindictive Shelly" and the feeling that my life (and I) are completely worthless and I might as well find a cliff to jump off right then and there. So, I have learned to let her do it - but at a cost. If we don't have something to replace the funds with, we're fucked. And when we have extra things (like HOA dues and/or overdraft fees), we're even more fucked. Like right now.
I have got to do something, and fast. I am still sick to my freaking stomach about the chances we've had. I just looked it up again, and we had over 1500.00 worth of extra income last month, and we were still way in the hole. It's even worse than that, actually. I think it was 7/29 and 7/30 that I sold the Wii and Xbox - that's another 225.00 that's really not documented anywhere as far as income.
