I wound up spending more in the past couple of weeks than I normally do. Why? Because of moving my stuff from my old residence to some storage units.
First, I had to rent another unit.
Then, I had to rent a moving truck. I intended to have the truck only 24 hours, but we couldn't get it all loaded and moved to the unit in that time period due to our work schedule. I wound up keeping it 48 hours instead, which added to my cost.
Another cost was that of boarding my dog for a week while we moved things. She was getting pretty upset with all the activity. Plus, she needed some veterinary attention. Boarding her for a week and having her needs taken care of wasn't cheap, but it was worth it in the long run. She was in a stable place while all the other activities were taking place.
Those three things nearly depleted my bank account. Thank goodness I get paid on the 20th!
One of the pluses is that the deposit on my electric bill has accrued so much interest over the years that the electric company will owe me money after the final bill is taken out of it. It should be enough to easily get the power and water turned back on when we move into a house.
