nova_myth | I really don't need to have a panic attack right now...

I just looked at my account. I'm just over $500. THAT'S it! I've paid most of my bills but one of my monthly things I usually get isn't coming in this month, so I'm short $250. Another check from another source of $200 hasn't come in yet either... I haven't been able find out of that's in the mail. I still have my cell bill, car payment, and the dog's health insurance. That's about $300 right there. Those are the last major bills. I had to stock up on foods and household goods this month, about $200 already. I know one reason I'm so short is because I had to buy my last book for school, which was a $150 by itself, with my money this month. The money my uncle sent me last month wasn't enough for it. I also had to spend $30 to get a racket for Raquetball class. I couldn't wait since courses start this month. If I'm estimating right I'll have $400 for food, gas, ect for the rest of the month if that other $200 check comes in. I usually don't get that low till much later. But I had to pay a higher amount on my credit card because I had to use it to pay for the rental car last month AND I had to pay over a $100 in different medical bills just for payments.I haven't ordered Lucky's meds for Sept. Thankfully the vet finally put refills so instead of taking two weeks for the meds to get to me it should only take a week... Thats about $70. I'm going to wait until the near the end of month and see what I have. I ordered extra for July and Aug because of him being at camp, but he hasn't needed more pain meds than usual so I have a small surplus, his heart meds are a different matter. Just seeing my account so low with still three weeks of the month to go gets my skin crawling.
