Certainty = death and taxes, right?
The only reason I even bothered doing my taxes tonight was because I assumed I had a refund coming.
Current budget status:
1) wallet - around 13 cents (mostly in pennies)
2) checking - $4.00 after buying bus pass today
3) paycheck - tomorrow, already spent on health insurance
4) rent due - by Wednesday, not gonna have half of it
5) employment - temp job ends this Friday
The IRS can bite me.

When pretending to be upbeat fails
I'm (more than) a little dejected. I don't know. I'm just tired of disappointment. I talked to my mother tonight and she pointed out that nothing in my life was absolutely horrible. She said it could be much worse, and will probably get worse. (Nice, eh?) She said no huge terrible thing has happened to me. I said it has just been a steady stream of small things, for about a year now. So which is better? One big giant smack of bad all at once, or a steady stream of it drilling away at you over time?
I've been trying not to be pessimistic. Tonight it isn't working so well.
