With apologies to E. A. Poe...

Here's the postman with the bills-
Monstrous bills!
What a world of misery their very sight instills!
How they muster, muster, muster,
On the surface of my desk!
While my funds, they do not cluster
And accounts have lost their luster
And do now appear grotesque;
Writing checks, checks, checks,
To my very last kopecks,
With a tempo and a frenzy that so arctically chills:
Pay the bills, bills, bills, bills,
bills, bills, bills-
Pay the past due, growing new queue of the bills!
Guess what I did today?

It wasn't so bad, actually, but it's going to be a close month.

Cheers...

This sounds soooooooooo familiar. Not helped by staring at this invoice from the garage and wondering how on earth one vehicle could require so much work in so little time and cost so much.

This month, if I survive it, will be better. Financially, anyway.

I guess I'm lucky... I don't actually do the bills (you don't marry a finance guy and do your own bills, right?). However, finance guys don't iron - yet another amazing discovery.

Off to the laundry to work off some frustration.
