Another month, another financial pickle. Quite a pickle this one is. I committed to a bug spray regimen for the house a couple of weeks ago, because I was certain I was going to be employed by this point. Not a bad deal: $60 for the first month and $40 for every month after with visits every three months. I got the company to push the payment back to the end of the month because... well, expected employment. If I can't pay up, I'm due for $300 in cancellation fees.

Another unpleasant surprise: the water got shut off end of the day yesterday. At least, that's when I noticed it. So, I get to go the weekend at least without a shower. The water and utilities were one of the bills the family was helping out with, so I'm at a loss as to what happened! Well, Monday will include a trip to City Hall. Good news: If this becomes a drawn out affair, I have a place to go take a shower and/or do laundry. Bad news: It's my cousin's place. He's gonna love that.

Positive note: Electric and internet are still up and running and current. I won't have to worry about them ending over the next month. So, there's that!
