i'm an idiot.
today, i went to the bank. i made a deposit. and while this may seem like a fairly minor thing, it's actually an act worthy of clapping. or some shaking of the head. so go ahead. shake your head.i should have gone to the bank two weeks ago. when i first started collecting checks in my purse. but i didn't. i'd get in my car after work, turn up the music, put my hands on the wheel and drive. and stop thinking. knowing that i was only going home and i'd have to start working again, i used my commute as my downtime. and every day, i drove right by the bank. and forgot to deposit the checks.
i kept getting checks, too. and the back of my mind had this really terrible idea that made no sense at all... wow. i keep getting more checks, the longer i wait to deposit these. maybe i'll keep getting checks if i don't ever make it to the bank. like i said. dumb. this type of thinking is the result of someone not getting much sleep since october. and that someone is me. so i have lots of really dumb thoughts these days.
monday, i overdrafted. this is why i am an idiot. i have the money. it's not like times are so hard and i'm not sure where my next meal is going to come from. i do.
from one of those checks sitting in my dumb purse.
and so, i passed my pennies worth of paper over to the teller this afternoon and she turned it into roughly $1500. it's really a good deal.
i should try it more often.
