Pretty Much Done

[built4speed]

Left a message for the gal from the other night and got a text 12 hours later that she owes me a call. I guess I don't understand the protocol for this, I would have expected her to actually call. Must have been busy (I know she was Sunday). A bit disappointing, but oh, well.

Got invited over to W's again for dinner, she wanted help figuring out some tax stuff related to the D. Her not figuring it out will delay some of the cash she owes me, so I helped her out and got a free dinner out of the deal. She even offered to advance me $3k on the final payout so I can buy a TV, among other things. We discussed our finances. We are both so screwed it's beyond belief. We are wondering what couples that don't make the fairly large income between them do. I guess it's all relative. I can cover the expenses if I don't get too crazy, but nothing for a car fund, retirement, etc, all the stuff we used to do easily. This part really sucks. D14 is finding the "infinite" supply of cash is indeed finite. It's a shock to all of us. I need a raise!!!

I might need to stick to the running club, but other D guys have pretty much gone through all of the D gals. I'm not sure I want to follow their path, if you know what I mean.

One amusing note: W is going to be redoing her will, and the only person she can put as the trustee is me! None of her family can do it, she has no friends close enough to ask, and since it's really just adminstering the kids college fund, I'm her guy. I said to her Yippee!, I'll get it all back! We laughed about it, but it's sad that after all the crap she put me through, including D-ing me, I'm still the most trustworthy and reliable person she knows (she said it).
