Authentically Mine

I got a new (to me) laptop this weekend from my dad and have spent the better part of last night and today working to get the CD/DVD-ROM driver and the Wireless Remote Access driver updated. The first one is done, the second one I think I know what I have to do but need to connect to a cable modem to download the drivers I need. Needless to say all of this has taken front seat to my writing, which has taken a back seat. I have started the next Creative Writing Exercise from the book What If? Writing Exercises for Fiction Writers and I should have that posted later today or tomorrow.

Adam and I really just hung out this weekend which is nice since he will be gone all week to see his sister. Our consolidation loan was approved and we consolidated all the messy bills here and there into one nice payment per month. Yay! The 2nd car will be paid off in August and then we can pay down the consolidation loan even quicker. Yay!

The last bit of random debt we have will be paid off with our Tax Refund which should come in the next week - two at the most.  I am glad that it is getting all settled and it definitely feels more organized and manageable even though it is the same amount that we have to pay down.

I know it sounds utterly geeky but we also FINALLY got a shredder and a firebox for our important documents. You know some grown up responsible adult things. Yeah that's us...grown up and responsible. I guess it happened somewhere along the way.

My doctor called in some pain medication for my neck last Friday - I was hoping he would have called in something more along the lines of a Flexeral or other muscle relaxant instead of just a pain medication. I would like to relax the muscle and not just cover up the pain. I head back to the chiropractor tomorrow after work in search of a more long term solution.

I am at the library in my town right now with my friend. I like to come and hang out here and read. It ends up that I actually read and don't fall asleep like I do at home!
