Totals/Scotty update
Another month gone, looking at totals and then Scotty update...
CapitalOne Visa: previous: $489.91 current: $468.04 It has gone down at least! Not as much as I'd like though. Sigh.
CapitalOne Car: $10,670.79 No movement until the beginning of October.
Elan Visa: previous: $1377.10 current: $1321.67 Again, I'm glad this went down, but not nearly what I was hoping.
Discover: previous: $1476.56 current: $1452.04 Same here. What am I doing wrong? Why won't these totals go down?
Apple: previous: $1192.26 current: $1147.26 Sigh. Please go down.
Aspire: previous: $1486.49 current: $1529.81 This went up and I didn't even spend anything on it.
PayPal: previous: $1214.91 current: $1170.90 This I did spend something on and it still went down.
Mattress: previous: $835.29 No movement until the beginning of October.
Honestly, I'm getting frustrated. I realize this will not be fast, but these totals need to go down a bit further. And now, I've got to come up with $1100.
Why? Scotty needs surgery. It's nothing life threatening, but he has a softball sized lipoma (fatty tumor, noncancerous) in his abdomen and that needs removed. Unfortunately it does cost about $1100 to do. He started peeing blood, and I, of course, took him to the vet, and they found the lipoma. But I want to get it done as soon as possible, because it can't be comfortable for him.
Now, I'm going to be working 60 hour weeks until I can pay for it. I've roughed it out and it'll be about 3 60 hour weeks until I can pay for it. I did set up a GoFundMe just in case anyone is in the place to help me.
But this is dependent upon 1) them allowing me to work such time and 2) me not going crazy trying to work 180 hours in 3 weeks. That's really going to wear me out. The way I'm working it is this:
Week 1: 21st - 12 hours; 22nd - 8 hours; 23rd - 12 hours; 24th - 12 hours; 25th - 12 hours; 26th - 4 hours
Week 2: 28th - 12 hours; 29th - 12 hours; 30th - 12 hours; Oct 1st - 12 hours; 2nd - 8 hours; 3rd - 4 hours
Week 3: 5th - 12 hours; 6th - 12 hours; 7th - 12 hours; 8th - 12 hours; 9th - 8 hours; 10th - 4 hours
That's 60 hours, for 3 weeks straight. 180 hours. I will, quite literally, be dead. But unless I get some major donations? I don't know what else to do. Scotty needs this surgery, and I'm attempting to be a responsible pet owner. I just wasn't expecting $1100!
So, that's the updates. Wish me luck?
