Realization Time

I've been saying this month is really tight, well, I didn't realize how much I have screwed up my expenses. I've messed up big time. So big that I am losing sleep over it tonight. I started doing a virus check on my computer and went to look at my CC bills. Well, they total a lot more than I thought they did so as a rash move I just scratched them all up so that they are un-usable and took all of them off my Paypal accounts so now I can't use them. I should have done that a long time ago but I didn't. What I'm hoping to do is consolidate them all into one CC and hopefully get either a student loan or some credit card loan from my bank. I'm going to go down there and talk with them to see what they can do for me. I've screwed up this time, and I don't know how I'm going to hide it from the fatherly figure. I can get a small portion of it paid off by simply selling a lot of my car parts. I'm not sure how much I can get but I'm hoping I can get about 2-3k paid off in car parts. The past two months have been horrible for income because my work is so unstable. Between the flucuating hours, my appendectimy, the break since the students were gone, and the hurricane I've had over a month of time off from work with no income. I can scrounge up 2-3k easily and then if I push a few things here and there maybe I can work around to getting 5k or so. With that smaller amount I'm hoping I can get a student loan since I am now back in school to pay for the other portion of the debt. Then I'll kill all my CC's and be done with them until I get a good foundation to stand on financially wise.

Tomorrow/Today I'll be spending with my dad going shopping and raiding my garage for things to sell. Hopefully a ton of small parts here and there for 20-50 bucks each should pull in a decent amount of cash. It'll get me going for this month and hopefully pay for everything next month. I have to talk to my dad about school payment and see what he thinks. I'm going to suggest a school loan of course.

Any ways. Good new though! I made another move with Vanessa and we made out a little. Woohoo. I'm getting brave! Not really but yaaa. :p Any ways. She is leaving today, Friday, for UF and last night was the last night I got to see her before she left. I'm glad that I was able to do that before she went away. I think it helped us out a little bit because it seemed like it broke up some tension, nervousness. Since she'll be at UF that's yet another expense I'll have to put out in order to see her. :(

I'm looking at selling Plasma for a short while. I hear it can bring in about 200-300 bucks a month if you do it twice a week. Two hours per session which is four hours a week for four weeks which is sixteen hours a month for let's say 200 bucks. That's 12.50 an hour. At 300 it's 18.75 an hour. That's really not bad and you can read/do homework while you do it. That's totally perfect for me! I can study while I give blood. At least I'll be so bored that I'll want to study/read the books. That should supplement some more money and enable me to bring in about 1k of income a month that can go to gas and CC bills. I'll be spending roughly 250 a month on gas and then I guess 750 on CC bills which will lower them fairly fast, at least one would hope. Any ways. That'll give me a decent boost in income for maybe a month or two while I really need it.

I'm gunna go and see if I can catch some shut eye before I worry myself to all hell. Peace.
