(no subject)
So, I just managed to squeak in before the stock market regained everything it lost yesterday, I think. Though at least that doesn't include what it lost the previous few days. And now I find myself wondering, when the hell did I become this person who does investments? Investments are complicated! Money was simple, I had a checking account, I had a savings account that was never as full as I wanted it to be. I have a credit card I'm slowly paying off, but still, simple. Now suddenly I have investments. I have investments and I have an IRA. What the fuck is this adult shit.
More than that, if someone gave me a sum of money four times large enough to pay off my credit card right now, given that our car is paid off and the only loan we have is our mortgage, about half of it probably would go to investments. What the hell. When did I become this person.
Even apart from that I'm really tempted to take some out of my investments (not the IRA) to pay off my credit card, but I'd have to take out even more to sit in savings and pay for taxes and eeeeegh. Egh. We'll see what happens around Christmas money, in the next few months, I have seven months or so interest free remaining, that's enough time to pay it down quite a bit even allowing for DragonCon and winter heating bills. We'll see what happens then. It's not like I didn't earn it, I did kind of deal with last year's upheaval and death and explosions and more death (I'm not kidding about any of that either) with stress buying, it just. Ugh I hate credit card debt. I hate having it. I hate carrying it around. And I just had a long ramble on my DW about finances and I sound like a real goddamn adult. I'm considering things like investments and taxes and credit card interest. When the fuck did that happen.
Anyway. So at least I did get most of the morning stuff done, some progress made on the to do list and one episode of The Flash annotated. My wrist is already starting to hate me, yay another flare-up of RSI after Nano and before another Nano, but at least I have September and October to relax, and I probably won't be being this stupid next Nano. Till then, anti-inflammatories. Wrist brace. Yay. It's not going to get any better either, the list of stuff we want to Murderboard just keeps getting longer and longer.
Killjoys just shot up to the top of the list. I have no idea what just happened but that was at least three of the supporting cast of Killjoys with which I ended up having some hilarious ridiculous conversations on Twitter, with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lireavue. Anything from are we Killjoys WELL YOU DON'T KNOW DO YOU to Shakespeare to the freaking Old Spice commercials to the supporting cast trio as the Spice Boyz. I have no idea how this became my life but may all the gods of communications bless the internet for this gift.
I'm having massive feelings of not enough time argh, which is leading to massive amounts of oh god capoeira do not want can't I just turn it off until I have more time? Shit like this, y'all, is why my exercise habits are so damn sporadic. It's always the first thing to go, unless I have people to meet and money to get worth out of and people to impress, because let's face it, I was always that physical-arts student who wanted to impress the shit out of her teachers. And in dance never really could but apparently in capoeira, I'm doing closer to what I want to do. Different context? Go figure.
Anyway. It's probably time to stop typing here and go and start getting doing, because there is a lot to get doing. I think it should ease up after Dragon*Con, admittedly, because most of this is watching about 1.15 of TV three times a day, which adds up to a lot out of the day! It'd be 45 but I have to pause every now and again to take notes. Fortunately that time has stopped expanding and in some cases started shrinking, so. Anyway. After DragonCon I won't have that quite so immediately anymore, and while I expect Haven to be more intensive when I do work it, I might actually make it go faster because of this and after Haven everything else is less time constrained. I can hope. And then things will ease up. Again, I hope.
