Not My Year So Far

Sorry for the absence. I spent last week at the hotel while my car was being worked on - - or not worked on, mostly, the majority of the week it was just waiting to be worked on, and I didn't feel up to posting anything. 2015 was going to be The Year I Acquired A New Car (or newer than 1993, anyway), funded by my tax refund and a little bit of savings, but my old car isn't cooperating in the plan, and wants me to spend it all on itself, instead. And now a tooth is making distressing twinges in my mouth, so that will have to be addressed, as well. Living paycheck to paycheck is biting me in the ass so far in 2015.
