Daily Debt Journal - Day 371 - Catching up the budget
So, I spent this weekend touching at least every piece of paper on my desk once. It’s amazing how much stuff can just get piled up around here when you just set stuff down with a "get to it later" mentality. I’ve nearly filled a full kitchen garbage bag full of envelopes, junk mail, and garbage that simply doesn’t need to be piled around me.
So, now that I’m caught up on paperwork, the awful-dreaded budget is next on the radar. Upon writing this up, I’ve completed a quickie-update of my spreadsheet by just updating what bills I haven’t yet paid this pay-period. The next step is to actually log into each account and update the balances so I can figure how much damage there is on my net worth.
This is going to suck…so I decided to procrastinate just a few more minutes while I get this journal entry in.
Anyway, it feels good to at least have all bills paid yet again. I don’t know how I’ve managed to not be late on anything the last six months without any kind of organization whatsoever. (Really, I checked…no late fees or anything.) It’s been a whirlwind around here (quite literally, but I’ll get to the tornados in my catch-up posts) so I’m thankful that things aren’t worse.
