MORE ON FINANCES

Yesterday I went to another bank. This is the bank that gave me the latest Mastercard. The person was very friendly and explained that I would probably get the loan. He told me I could pay it off in five years. When I asked him why I couldn’t pay more each month he told me that if I didn’t have anything left to spend I would just get further in debt. He’s right!!! I am trying to list all my debt. The bank would pay off my debts and cancel my accounts. Sounds good to me.
Tomorrow we are suppose to go to the country. I really don’t want to go. Some of my friends are going for the day during the weekend; some aren’t going at all and others are going for one night etc. I wonder if I should just tell hubby to go alone.
I have been swimming everyday. I have met a few women at the pool. Not sure if anything will develop but it doesn’t matter. It’s nice to have someone to talk to in the pool.
Yesterday I met my cousin for lunch. Poor woman! Her husband passed away years ago. He left her a lot of money. She had a "nervous breakdown" after he died. Her son apparently helped her spend all the money he left. He had power of attorney because she was sick. He drained her money so now all she has is her pension. She is so bitter. I don’t blame her. I don’t think I would ever talk to my son again. However she would like to see her grandchildren. She also has no other family! One brother lives in the US. Another lives in Toronto. When she asked them for financial help they both refused. She doesn’t talk to her daughter. If my son did that to me I would never talk to them again.
I am working on my scrapbook for my son and his wife. I have moved all my stuff to the dining room table. It’s bright and I have room for all my stuff. Hopefully I’ll get it finished quickly.
I am reading THE FAR SIDE OF THE SKY. It’s ok but the beginning is about the HOLOCAUST. Upsetting!
The other day I got on the W!!. I lost three pounds so I am now about 204. I wish I could lose those four pounds. I would love to be under 200………..
So that’s about it. I’ve started to reread some of my entries. I would like to read all my entries to check if I want my children to read it. I have left the name and password of my diary in our safe.
Take care.
