Staying at Jeff & Shannons
I am staying at Jeff & Shans place while the bathroom renovation is underway. The contractors get there at 7am and I go to bed at 5am, so I can’t stay at my place. Last night I went over to their place around 4am, and …

My Back Hurts
I spent 14 hours Sunday removing the old furniture from the office, and putting together and arranging the new furniture from Ikea. My dad stopped by around 7 and we had dinner at Sweetwaters, and watched the last 10 minutes of the Superbowl, which …
Saturday feels like Sunday
Not working on Friday threw me all off, and I’ve thought it was Sunday all day today.
I woke up at 3PM.
I went to Shaw’s and returned some cereal I bought because it was the wrong kind.
I organized the materials for the bathroom renovation, which begins Monday.
Amber wanted to meet up but I stayed in, I spent way too much money last night.
Bowling
Saturday I went bowling at the new bowling alley with Francis, Kimberly, Sasha, Andy, Josie, James, Nafisa, Jesse, Mike & Libby. I won the first round, and actually had a lot of fun.
After, we all went to dinner at Asiana Noodle Shop, and then to Parima to go to JJ’s party, (which was about the least fun I’ve had in 2009).
Sunday I spent the whole day at home, selling things on eBay (because I’m flat broke) and cleaning.
Just keeps getting worse
I worked today from 2pm to 1am. DJDeals.com as of today has $32,000 of debt and zero cash. My personal cash as of today is down to $10,000, and I haven’t paid for the bathroom renovation yet. I have so much to do, and so …
January 2009: Total Life Savings Down to $58k
Everything is working against me; no matter how strong, how positive, how adaptive, how intelligent or how resourceful I am; I just can’t win.
I spent the last 13 years working VERY hard and building up a net worth of over $2,000,000 (including the business).
A year ago, I had $500,000 in cash, and as of Friday I have $58,000 left thanks to the stock market.
My business is retail, and the average decline in the USA for retailers is 2.7%. We are now down 18%.
In December 2007 my water heater flooded my condo, in December 2008 my bathroom flooded, and then there was a fire on Friday, which fortunately only burned the condo below mine before I heard the alarm and called 911, saving my condo.
Yesterday when I was at Lowe’s trying to buy materials to rebuild my condo & they declined my credit card. I called Amex, they said that they reduced my limit from $15,000 to $4,000 because according to my credit report (which has been flawless for 17 years) I had a debt collection agency reporting that I owed them $4000. I spent all night disputing it on my credit reports, because it’s not mine, but it’s going to take months to remove it.
I’m suing my friend Noah because he owes me $10,000. Now in addition to that, I have to sue the debt collection agency for falsifying information on my credit report. I am also suing my condo association. I can’t handle any more problems!
Oh, and I hate Vermont, I’m eternally single, and don’t get why so many things keep happening to me when I try so hard to be positive, honest, and reactive!! Gah.
