Day 3 I bounced a check (3 actually)

LOL At this rate I will *never* have the money to buy a cabin. I can't even be mad, it's my own fault. I forgot about an auto payment debit. I swear the sales girl told me auto payment was supposed to make my life easier. I digress; $100 in fees will not make or break me, so to speak. I am just frustrated with myself. When I see money being wasted I do the compound interest math in my head and determine what I could've had with it in retirement. It's a bad habit. Money comes and goes. I know I can't control it all.

I met with a lawyer today, 'my' lawyer now, I suppose. Hopefully, she can help me with the ex and we can close this matter of 'support' if you can call it that. Even after all this I know I won't be truly rid of him but we shall see. Our daughter will be in school and under my roof for about another 7 years. I'm sure he'll test my patience repeatedly. He's truly the life lesson I have to learn over and over again.

I'm looking forward to the family reunion this weekend. I can't wait to spend time Up North. I miss the trees, the water, the old buildings, the way the air smells. Air really does smell differently around water. Fresh water does, anyway. Its watery smell reminds of summer and being a carefree kid. I hear it's even supposed to be in the 80's while were there, how wonderful!
