Thingish Things

I hit the limits. It’s official. I overestimated my resources and if my builders will finish job before next month’s payday, I have no money to pay them. If they ask for the balance after that, I will have no money left to pay my mortgage and bills. Oh, and food of course. How nice. Where is my famous self-confidence gone, I wonder. It was all wrong from the start. I knew I was walking a thin line having no contingency fund. Not that I didn’t bother, I just didn’t have enough to allow for contingency. And now the embarrassing moment comes. Bummer. And even compromising lots of things, postponing them for the later, “better” times, I am still in minus figures. Bummer again. Funny enough, I’m not too far off, just uncomfortable by a couple of month’s payslips. How embarrassing and how unfair considering how carefully I was spending on all the project buys. It still didn’t help. So much for your planning skills, silly woman! On a positive side: the extension walls are growing like mushrooms after the rain. Perhaps, if I could make them grow slower, my bank account gets a chance to grow bigger. I found it amusing how instead of wishing for its all to be over soon, I’m desperate for the process to slow down. Bummer three times. -           So what do we do? -           Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well. -           How? -           I don't know. It's a mystery. /Shakespeare In Love movie quote/
