So H went to work last night and unlike the week before when this happened I did not follow up if he got to work. Last week we had had some pretty nasty weather happening when he had to drive.
I went to bed. I did not call or text.
This am I woke up to two texts from H at 5am.
H: The bonus is approximately X before taxes. H: It is paid next week.
Before BD we had already talked about paying off his truck with it. So we will clear out of emergency fund account and have enough to pay off both vehicles lessening our monthly expenses as we go forth in 2 households.
H has been running around wanting to "rip the bandage" off and just move on ASAP.
We had been waiting for the bonus to come in before filling out financial disclosure statements... looks like we will be doing that in 2 weeks now.
I'm not sure exactly why H texted me that. He is going to be gone for 4 days. He could have just said it to me the next time he was at the house. Telling me today versus in 4 days makes no difference in how we are handling things.
Maybe in his head this is getting the ball rolling more toward his direction... so he is sharing the information. OR maybe in his head he is trying to have an excuse to reach out to see if I will respond?
Well that is NOTHING that requires a response from me... I can be radio silent for 4 days....
