Postpone and Pay

Sometimes when you put things off for too long you end up paying more than you would have.

Today is that day for me.  We are getting a new garage door.  Ours has broke 4 times.  The last fix, the repairman said it couldn't be fixed again.  The door has warped and the weather stripping has torn from ice and snow.  Had it been replaced a few years ago it probably wouldn't cost this much.

I have also put off going to the dentist.  For over a year.  My last dentist that I had for 15 years moved away.  I liked him, I could keep my anxiety under control.  Now I know I have a cavity.  My first one since elementary school. It is going to cost both extra money and pain because I put off check up and cleaning.

I have made some money on the side selling winter wear that is too small for kid 3.  The local facebook selling group has been really easy to use and nice normal people have come to the door.  I have used kijiji a lot in the past and I find there are too many flakes that waste my time.  Unless it is free!  Then people beat a path to the door!  I used the cash for October spending money.  So that saved me $80.

We went on vacation and it was over so fast.  It wasn't as relaxing as I needed.  I was very tired and my back killing me when we got home. We did see beautiful sights, drink perfect wine and had great meals.

Being mentally and physically exhausted is my new normal.  Yoga and meditation help a lot.  Medication helps but, this is how I am now.  Physio is $500+ a month.  I think sitting in the sun on a beach would help as much as anything.  I shall keep dreaming.

I have worked more this year than I did last.  I have already passed my last years total wage, so I guess the next month and a half are all gravy.

I do plan to treat myself to a new iPad.  This is the one I bought when I paid off my mortgage in 2012.  It's time for an upgrade.  I'm buying some xmas gifts this weekend to take advantage of the sales.  I also have to buy a new hair straightener as mine died Tuesday.  I had to invent a new very curly hair style at 6:50 am before I left at 7!!

The dh comes back from a business trip tonight.  We have sports all weekend with kid 3.  There is no school tomorrow and neither of us work so I am praying for a sleep in morning!  Time for more coffee, the laundry isn't doing itself and the garage door people should be here soon.

The good things:
No mortgage
Hardly any snow
Money to pay for sh!t we need

Things that suck:
Cavities
Depression
No sunshine
My work that pays well is killing my soul.
