Got up early. Came in early. Expected traffic backups due to construction. Well, probably would have had them if construction had actually started yet.

Construction was set to begin on a bridge on US 23 on March 3rd. It got pushed back to March 6th. It is now March 7th.

...

So, I was going to be wicked early, so I stopped at TCF on the way in to check my balances at the ATM and make my first official transfer from Checking to Savings.

Yes. I know. I am three weeks late. So I've missed two and am $400 behind in such things. I will probably make that up next week, depending on what my bills look like when I get home. Otherwise I will be playing micro-catch-up for a couple weeks. Since I don't have another two paycheck week before my car payment comes due, I probably won't be able to just dump $400 in right now. I'll need a little more than that to get all my bills done right now.

However, nice bonus, rent has already gone through. So no worries there.

I have a spreadsheet for my savings account, checking account, and bills due right now. This is a happy thing.

My cleaning streak has continued. It's subdued a little bit, probably because there aren't any more rooms for me to go totally apeshit on. My bedroom is clean. The living room is in good condition. The dining room needs some work now, but part of that is waiting for Keith to finish cleaning out the computer parts. He was trying to get a couple to work, but, well, they're beyond help. So it's just a matter of getting the salvage stuff put away and trashing the junk. Kitchen needs help. It's not horrible, but it needs help. My bathroom needs help. Again, not horrible, but needs help. Keith's bedroom and bathroom are never going to be touched by me, so that's up to him getting one of the Virgo Cleaning Fits™.

The only thing really pending for cleaning that I should have done last night is taking out the trash. Well, and returning bottles to the bottle return... but... eh... That takes effort. :-p

Should also put a note on the door for the poor kid delivering the Ann Arbor News to everyone in the complex. "Hi, I work for the comapny that owns that paper, please stop leaving me a copy! Thank you!"

Must throw away the accumulation. That'd be good.

You should pick up Quicken. It's cheap, amazingly helpful, and every time you enter a transaction, it makes this really fun "cha-ching" sound!

Yes, but it costs more than what I am willing to pay for anything I don't need right now, which is, namely, nothing. Ask Keith. He keeps asking about buying an iMac. I keep saying "Check back with me in 6 months."

Spreadsheet I can work on at work, at home, and at the other work. It's all good.

Congrats! Spreadsheets are your friend for trying to figure it out, and as long as you have the knowledge to make it do what you want it to do, there's no reason for quicken...

www.bankrate.com is a great site to keep track of how long it's going to take to do something (save to $x at y rate, pay off card, etc). Tons of info on there, in case you don't remember it from the last time I gave it to you :)

You could try to be a l33t hax0r and try to find a copy on the web.

As for your cleaning streak.... my bedroom could use some help?

So.... get your own cleaning streak! :-p

And I already pretty much know how long stuff is going to take to pay off. So not worried right now.

Uh... alright. But $20 worth of software is a lot different than a $1500+ computer. Totally don't see the comparison but hey... whatever works for you ;o)

20 is the same percentage of 0 that 1500 is.

Namely, the math sucks.
