So I've decided to start tithing despite difficult times; I'm more than a little freaked out by this.  I'm not quite sure how my funds are going to stretch over to my next pay-day but I just have to stay hopeful, ya know?  It's stressful and I really want to whine and fret and complain about it, but I can't and I won't.  One way or the other it's going to work out, I just have to tell myself that!

It's also forcing me to be a bit more creative about coming up with cash; I think I'm going to start trying to pick up odd jobs.  Like brows Craigslist once or twice a day for gigs I can do for a little extra cash or something to make it through things.  I have a very small pocket of cash saved up but I want to use that for Christmas; I know it's going to be a sparse year and I'm okay with that but whatever - I still want to give presents!

I might also try to do more home-bound activities; card-nights, movies, and not cook for people as much - or if I do, ask them to bring something to offer instead of offering it all myself.

But I'm a bit warry on that since I'm in a war with those roaches right now. They will die!

Well, it's about time for me to head off to the tradeshow.  That's going pretty interesting; it's fun and I like being around everyone but I just don't know that I have any idea what's going on most of the time!  I'm sure I'll survive.

Until I post next....
