Well the last time I wrote was 5/17 so I have a bit of writing to do and only a little time to do it in. I should be in bed right now. Thursday 5/17 I overdrafted the accounts which sent them spiraling out of control. Between the checks, the debit card, and the automatic withdrawal I was just screwed. Friday 5/18 I was scared to even look at the account so I went to work dug my heels in deep and did a great job!! However later that evening I did look at the account and it had racked up $210 in overdraft fees. It is kind of like the opposite of robin hood... instead of stealing from the rich and giving to the poor the banks have it legal where they can steal from the poor and give it to the rich. Just shows you a little bit about the inner workings of our world I guess. 5/19 was Saturday and I was absolutely mixed mood. I was elated in the early morning then I had a bad report come in and I was hysterically crying. Then I pulled it together to go out with some friends and had a blast. And then that evening I was peaceful and relaxed. My husband and I have hashed out some of the problems with our budget and I have given him the debit cards ( actually we cut them both up ) and he is now in control of the checkbook. That will be hard for me since I"m a control freak but it will also be a relief that there is someone not emotionally drunk all the time behind the financial wheel. 5/20 today was kind of like a hangover from yesterday. I don't know if you all have noticed but when I experience the height of an episode the next day I have a sort of hangover. It is aweful. I've been really sore and exhausted today so I've taken it really easy. In that way it was kind of a nice day. Well here goes for next week. Say your prayers :-)
