12-10: Rent - I paid it and it's all going to be okay

Location: Sitting on the couch in my apartment....

Time: 1:21 PM, woke up from a nap that actually helped just a few minutes ago

Mood (1 to 10, 10 = fantastic, 1 = absolutely horrible): 4, anxious but enough energy to deal with it

Last Meal: uhhhhh the rest of last night's protein bar and a good helping of frosted mini wheats cereal with milk, which I ate when I got up at 10.

Current level of exercise: Haven't moved much today. I was completely sore from yesterday at work, so I think I deserve a rest.

Meds: Successful; I took my Prozac last night later than I wanted to at 10pm, and my Adderall this morning with food at 10am.

-Adderall: 20 mg

-Prozac: 40 mg

-Coffee: 0, I started making some a few minutes ago but didn't get past putting water in my brita pitcher

General schedule of the day: Survive until we (the Broening clan: Mr. & Mrs. Broening, Alex and me, Will the brother, Anna and Vinny, her fiancee) get together for my birthday dinner. I'm gonna ask Alex if he can pick me up...... But alternatively, I could drive over there early, I should text Mrs. Broening first though.

Objective: I want to write how I just freaked out about rent. And the lady I talked to on the phone, from the number she'd written on a slip of paper and stuck to my door after I didn't answer her knock. (I thought it was a package. I didn't answer the door and I was asleep when it woke me up. I didn't even think that it could be someone important like the person needing to collect my rent.)

Dump Zone:
mmmmmmmfffff........ bhhhhhrrrrrrrrrr

I paid half of it
I did
But she didn't find that until after she left the note on my door and I was scared
Like not afraid of not being able to pay it, or afraid of the possibility of the check being permanently lost, because I can pay it and if the check was lost I'd just deal with it and still pay again
But afraid of the confrontation
And yeah I called the first number that she gave on the slip of paper....here's a picture of it by the way...

Like....no...I didn't...but I was working on it...And then I was thinking, what was the date that I did the first payment? Friday, what day was that? because I pay on the 6th of the month....checking the calendar.......ah. It was the 7th. 

So after I saw this, I was like O_O oh no, I slept through this person knocking on my door to get me to pay my rent. They're assuming I'm not here even though my car is, (if they're even being that investigative), and if I just call right away they'll know I was waiting for her to leave. 

But I heard the knock and thought it was a package being delivered!

That's okay.

I called and left a message for the office, and then called that second number, "Jackie", and that was her. She was driving, said hi, and I told her who I was and she said that she got a check for half the amount just then!

Sigh of relief. Okay.

Then she said, "and it said 'Will pay remaining "tomorrow"'--when is that? when is tomorrow?"

ACK. I'm being accused. She is saying I tried to be CRIMINAL by making excuses that I did not follow through with. (To be honest, I did get the paycheck the next day and could have written the next check, and then there would be two nice little checks, one from Dec 7th and one from TOMORROW, ahem, Dec 8th. Frikin calm yourself, lady.)

But aghhh I just kind of replied with my "I'm in trouble but I need them to know that I acknowledge their claims and understand that I was, indeed, to blame" tone. "Yeah. Mhm." Defeated sigh, and determined answer: "But I just made a payment online for the other half, and--"

"Oh, you did! Good!" She sounded happier and I thought for a passing moment, 'She must hate having to sound firm, but I bet she has to be with people that actually do want to avoid paying rent.'

She was wanting to just say thanks and goodbye, but I stopped her with, "But, um, may I ask, is there any kind of...like, is there a...Is there a late fee? For rent?"

There was, and it's $20 if it's after the 6th and $5 for each additional day. Sooo I'm at about 35 or 40 now. But I have extra money after paying rent this month. (somehow). I have about 200 or a little bit more, after they cash my check. So...I can do that. I told her so, and said, "I think I'll write it in an email, that will be easier. Thank you so much!" and she said something like have a nice day and thanks and bye, and she was driving and hadn't hung up after a second, so I hung up.



And then I started to look around on the laptop for what I needed to do to process this.

I went back to the two Chrome windows of tabs that I had previously closed and reopened them. (I was playing Minecraft this morning, it was fun, but I was still tired and just...eh...so after maybe 45 minutes or more, I went back to my bed and I texted Alex for the first time today and told him I was struggling and asked him to pray for me.)

And I had this blog pulled up, and I was like, "Okay. I was wanting to write more, and to condense the things from the previous days that I've had on my phone but haven't sent to Neila yet. I'll do that. New post!" And the post template that I set up was there when I clicked that, which I filled out, and then I wrote all of this. And I've had to pee from the minute I started writing my "Location", so brb.

omg xP
hahahaha....that's my jump scare for the day, lol.

My head hurts. It's because I haven't had my coffee yet. I can get up and make it...I have a clean coffee mug I've been drinking water from today... breathe in..............breathe out.

I'm going to play the Minecraft soundtrack on iTunes and make my coffee. :) Maybe I'll write another post after that. I think I will...I've been writing things down in my phone's notebook app, and I dated each of the entries, so maybe I'll post those with the timestamp according to when I wrote them. Then they'll be in order. :)
