Oops

 I'm the budget person around here. I've got it all under control, right down to literally the last penny... until I don't.

I went merrily on my way at about 5:30 AM, click, click, click, pay, pay, pay... 

And then I looked.

And looked again.

OOPS!

I'd forgotten to shift something from one column to the other, paid everything in full, only to find that there was this one thing left that MUST be paid. No borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. I've really got to stop trying to use my big brain when I haven't even had my coffee yet. 

Today, Garf has a drug test to do for his new job... it's a long-ish drive to get there and with gas prices... But it's gotta get done.

Also, there will be that wait of an extra week for a pay while he makes the switch from one company to the other. 

I have a child turning 15 tomorrow. Child wanted roller skates. Pride roller skates. That just happen to be on sale at about 50% off.  And even though we'd already bought and given a Nintendo Switch as an early present, I really wanted to get the damn skates. And had all my duckies lined up in a nice row so I could do that. Now I can't. I want to cry. 

Do I care that I've literally left us without money for at least 2 weeks? Nope. All bills are paid, there's food, gas in the tank, pet food, chicken feed, hay for goats. We can manage without extras for a couple of weeks. 

But the skates...
