Stress level is up, Finances are down

For the first time in a long time I actually got up in the middle of the night and went to sleep on the couch.

This used to be a common thing, especially when we were building the house.  I was tossing and turning in bed for about 30 minutes and I didn’t think it was fair to keep disturbing my wife, so I went downstairs, put the TV on and curled up with a couple of cats.

I think/hope this sleepless is just money related.  After the caravan fun with the blow out I’ve started fixing it up.  It is a few hundred dollars for tires, a few hundred if I can’t fix the water heater, a few hundred if I can’t fix the fridge.  Then there is all the normal bills, they arn’t any bigger than usual, I just wish sometimes I could get a month off from them.

The business seems to have finally noticed there is a recession here, we are down about 30% on revenue the last 2 months, not enough to panic, but it is making us dip into some of the cash reserve we like to keep.  I should probably do a forecast as to how long that cash reserve can last.

I am also having chest pains again, my gut instinct tells me it is muscle pain, started yesterday working on the caravan and seems to have been aggrevated by sleeping on the couch.

I have/had a doctors appointment for tests on Thursday, but since I run out of meds and don’t want to get another 3 month supply before the doc decides to change them, I am trying to get the appointment moved and some temporary meds.
