Life goes on. Slowly I become more unpacked. And now that my parents have sold their house, I have started to accumulate even more "stuff" from them. I should really wonder where all my money in life went because as I look around my place very few things are mine. About 50% were gifted to me. Another 40% were bogarted (my newest bogarsition is a set of patio chairs for my newww patio, thank you m&d). And the last 10% I may or may not have been involved in contribution money towards its purchase. So why am I not a bajillionaire? I told Nikki, almost joking, I wanted to go on a cash diet like that lady on tv does to her indebted participants. I do cash sometimes, but then I also do credit. And if my chip doesn't work I do debit. I'm all across the board.
I got my first property tax bill in the mail the other day. Property tax + maintenance fees = $700. My interest on this place is probably about $500 a month. So I'm officially losing money lol. And with the $60 insurance increase I'm losing even more money. It's all a scam. I can't leave this place until it has appreciated more than the cost of selling or I'm a dummy. I'm starting to see a bit more clearly why people have trouble with finances and find it to be such an overwhelming burden. SHEEESH.
Adam got his G license today. I'm so very proud of him, since I failed 2x before they finally took mercy on me. It's hard to tell that story and still convince people I'm a good driver. I swear I am. I know I'm at least better than two people I encountered recently. Yesterday this woman (in a beamer, no comment *cough*) backed her car into someone in a parking lot that was driving through the aisles. She immediately exited her car and proceeded to yell at the gentleman who got hit. "Didn't you see me backing up??!!?!?! I was backing up, didn't you see me???" I wanted to cup my hands to my mouth and yell across the parking lot "You're wrrroooonnnnggg" but I managed to keep it to myself. She looked like the type that would sprint across the parking lot and gash my face open. Then today I'm doing a bank run, and a small office shop and there's been an accident at Dixie and Eastgate. One car is left in the intersection, but he's pulled just far enough through so that the two Southbound lanes can manage to get by him. And anyone turning North onto Dixie can just swing a bit wide and manage past. Most people have no issue with this. Then suddenly I can hear a gentleman getting progressively more upset as he approaches the intersection. It really made no sense. Accidents happen all the time, and unlike some accidents that take up lanes and cause traffic to back up for hours, this was one of the least imposing traffic incidents I've encountered. The guy pulls around the stopped car and as he comes around the other side he is now screeeaming at the top of his lungs, "Ucking Mother Uckerssss!" I went back to work and relayed this story to my coworkers and added that, if that moment was the worst thing that happened to him today, he should be pretty happy about that. And not cursing the world. I'll be the first to admit I get a bit angry behind the wheel but within the confounds of my car, and usually with the windows up.
But moving on from that. I finally got the blue rubbermaids from my move unpacked. My mom asked to use them for her own move so I had some motivation to get going. And now for the rest of it. I'm also going to pick up my housewarming present tomorrow. After I finally get my license changed over to the proper address. The Service Ontario website claims you have 6 days. So I'm a bit late, but better late than never. And then when I'm finally all unpacked I can finally clean, which I have not done since I got here o_O I also spilled a litre of vinegar in my trunk so I might need to go get some more to get the job done. At least that helped cover up the stench of washer fluid I spilled the week previous ^_^
Ciaosies
