Well, perhaps entropy isn’t the best word in the world, but the simple fact is that it feels frequently like I’m treading water.  It feels like I’m working frequently and getting nothing done, but when I look back at my day, its really that I’m getting nothing done.  This doens’t bother me so much, but theres no progression.

I’m having a hard time seeing myself doing anything beyond the status quo, like going to school, or getting a promotion, or anything like that.  Y’know, the kinda stuff that I kinda NEED to be doing.

Take, for example, the bank.  Back in January, when I was buying my car, I had met my friendly bank chick many times setting up the loan (which is paid for, woot), and talking about investment for the chunk of BJ’s insurance money that I haven’t spent yet.  I had an appointment with her to sign the papers to open up a CD and an IRA, and ended up having to miss it.  I rescheduled, and missed it.

And, now its April.  I keep thinking “huh, I need to do that” at times like this, when I’m at work, but then I go get Pigpen, work from home, go get MastaG, figure out whats for supper, make sure homework gets done and that children are getting some sort of exercise or activity that’ll keep them from going craz.

Thats the point, now, where I should be doing this kinda stuff.  MastaG can’t be arsed to go out a lot of the time, he really likes having about 30 minutes to himself in the house, so me and Pigpen should head out, but when I get done with the chores of the day (and this doesn’t at all include things like laundry, dishes, cleaning, etc) all I wanna do is sit on the couch and relax with the boys.

Which, while fantastic, doesn’t move me up in the world towards lasting financial peace.

Bummer, huh?
