Remember when I was happy to realize I would be receiving three paychecks in December? I miscalculated. However, I will be receiving three paychecks this month, with the third one coming in next Friday. It’s a good thing, too, since I’ve been feeling financially strained lately. It would have been nice to have that “surprise” income in December, too.

Perhaps I shouldn’t have purchased that additional 250 GB hard drive ($150) a few weeks ago.
