Remember when I wrote I want to figure this money thing out once and for all. It's not happening like that. It definitely is a journey with many ups and downs. This week is a real downer. I don't have enough in the checking account to cover everything. And I've been doing so well. Lack of planning. Well, something is going to have to get paid a bit late. I hate that. I won't allow myself to feel defeated. I can't. I just need to learn to plan better and re-focus my efforts.

Talking to Frank about this helps. It was so hard when I used to handle it all on my own. I guess that's sort of what God means about bearing each other's burdens. Well, I told you I was going to be transparent. This is the honest truth in my debt journey, " A Yucky Week".
