I woke up this morning all sorts of concerned about short term income problems. It looks like my current project will have few work hours for me and I don't have a next project yet so my income is going to be a bit anorexic at least for a while. I have a rainy day fund but will it be enough to carry me through and if it is not, what's next...
So after I finished my normal morning computer piddline, I fired up the spreadsheet and got the details from Mint and worked out the nums. Mainly I'm trying to find the big pile o' cash for the Home Owners Assoc. I like to pay the whole year's worth in January so I only have to screw with it once instead of every month. I may not be able to pull that off this year, but I think I can pay for the first 6 months which would help.
At least laying everything out and doing the math relieves my anxiety about not having work to do right now.
And so, in a lovely bit of ironic nonsense, since I know there will be little or no work needing me today, I'm going shopping.
