Back in the (Employment) Saddle…

by Amanda

I’ve been working full time for the last three weeks, and I have to say that thus far I’m loving it. Breaking up the routine with getting out of the house and making some money is a nice thing to do from time to time.

I have an income now, and this is something I haven’t had regularly since April. The thing that kills me about having income is that as soon as you have money, it needs to go back out on things you didn’t really want the money to go out on. Thus far:

- The Little Chevy needed a new gas tank
- The pony needs a vet check on his leg
- The pony needs two blankets that actually fit him
- My neck has two swollen bumps on it and the Doc recommended I see a dentist.

I see this eating up the entirety of my first pay check. Sigh.
