Ok my life has been super boring lately so I haven't really updated my blog. However, this week was super lame and stressful and I need to vent a little. I dont' know how it is for the rest of the world, but for me being married has been really hard. I hate watching my paychecks all disappear to pay rent. I hate that I haven't been able to buy a single new item of clothing for myself in almost two years because I've been trying to save. I hate that I always have 4 inch outgrown highlights and 4 inch split ends because I can't afford to get my hair done more than every 6-8 months. I hate going a week without groceries until payday because the bank account is so low. I hate freezing my face off every day at our apartment because I don't want our utilities bill to be too high. But mostly, I hate that I forgot to send in a medical form to the DMV. Why? Because after saving, saving, saving, I now have to hand over over a month and a half's work to Logan City.
Here's the background. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when I was 19. Since I already had my drivers license I didn't have to do anything regarding my medical status on my drivers license. When I turned 21 and renewed my license I checked the box stating that I am diabetic. I received a paper in the mail a few months ago that I needed to have my doctor sign and then return to the DMV. I forgot about it at my last appointment and decided to just take it to him next month when I drive down to South Jordan for my appointment. On Thursday on my way to class I got pulled over because I was driving with my little dog sitting on my lap. (Yes, that is illegal, I didn't know either). Not only did I do that, I wasn't driving my car, couldn't find proof of insurance in the car belonging to my parents, had lost my wallet and therefore didn't have my driver's license and then couldn't remember what name I had put on my license. Looking totally suspicious. When the cop ran my license it was...wait for it....REVOKED. Yes, I have been driving on a revoked license for a month and didn't even know it. Sadly for me, that is considered a misdemeanor and I now owe the city $750, which is almost all of the money I have in my savings account. Also, I will only have a job til Christmas and then I wont' even have that little bit of income coming in.
Ok. Done complaining. I am just frustrated with myself. And frustrated that I care. I shouldn't care about money. I know John and I will be fine and I'm glad we are married now so we technically don't need to buy each other Christmas presents (hehe). But seriously. The week sucked. P.S. I do love being married. I just hate money.
