So, apparently I lost my mind in February.
I get paid monthly. (Yuck) The first workday after payday, I go into work early to balance my checkbook and pay all of my bills. (We don't have an adding machine at home.) This takes about an hour because I also match up all our insurance statements to the various doctor bills.
I guess I only DREAMED that I did this in February. I didn't pay any bills other than the online ones and the electric bill (which I paid TWICE!) I didn't open any insurance statements and therefore didn't match and pay from them either.
Don't laugh, but I kept wondering why I had so much $$ in my checking account. I truly thought I'd made a mistake when balancing it and would figure it out when the new statement came.
I wouldn't have figured this out for another week, but Tuesday, right in the middle of Payroll, MH had to leave for an hour or so. I didn't want to file (ROFLMAO) so I decided to get a "head start" on my bill paying for March. Imagine my suprise when I realized most of them were for February. Every IMPORTANT bill, such as credit cards, car payment and the mortgage are paid automatically, so I was ok with them. Still...where did my brain go in February?
MH & I finished cleaning/organizing our office last Friday. I know it's only the following Thursday, but we haven't had to "drop everything and hunt for something she lost" yet. I'm hopeful. She's thrilled.
The only thing she wouldn't let me do is use the label maker to mark her various desk cubbies. I thought that was kind of mean of her. I spent HOURS helping her organize and she denies me the chance to make labels?!
I love that label machine. I've labeled just about everything in the office and storage room. It doesn't help keep the items where they should be...but the labels look good.
Did I tell you about the new sign I got for my desk? It reads "I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order. As they should be."
It's funny though, everyone who reads it, laughs. However, no one has said "I didn't know you have OCD."
Hmmmm...
