A little off beat from the normal posts but certainly fits the topic:
OH I can certainly tell that today is a Monday. I woke up with great news when I checked my financial situation, as many clients and paid post payments have cleared my bank account just in time to go out for bills. Next I found out that my tree that fell on my roof isn’t going to be paid for by my insurance company because, well, I have a deductible that is the same as my quote I received for tree and roof work. Next I ended up with some more great news that boosted me.
I tell you this whole weekend was a test for me. I declined hanging out with certain people or avoided the situation because I did not feel like dealing with certain people. You know the type, the ones that are all about themselves or the guys who think they can treat you like a piece of meat since you are single. I have too high of a self esteem to let men treat me like dirt, and so I chose to stay home alone Saturday night and did end up seeing two good friends on Sunday so that was cool.
One thing I learned from the weekend is you can have a few drinks with your virtual friend over the cell phone and have almost as good of a time as you can have in real life! YES I seriously had a few beers on Saturday night with my blogging friend, but she is in Indiana and I am in New Hampshire. We had girl talk, silly talk and lots of laughs. We certainly are becoming such silly, great friends but I wish she was closer to me.
Overall my Monday has been a continued test from the weekend, am I strong enough to survive financially alone? Can I do this? Should I remain single? Of course I finally realized YES I can survive, everyone is struggling financially right now, but they survive. I can do this because I am a strong woman and I should remain single because my heart is not open for a relationship nor is my life open enough to have time to deal with another man in that way.
So Monday has come and is nearly over now …. what did you get tested on today??? I hope you took the tests well and were able to overcome the situations in a positive way like I have!

Ooooh man, how sad. Seriously it figures the estimate would be the same as your deductible!! I feel ur frustration on that. That happened with a car we had. Accident wasnt our fault, but they had no insurance…. Arg! Hope things start looking up for you sweetie.

Thanks for posting all those tips for us.♥

Wow, Brandy, it’s been awhile since I’ve checked in with you. Sounds like you’re going through a lot, but it also seems like you’re gonna get through it all just fine. Because you’re smart, strong, and you have the most amazingly positive attitude. You don’t let negativity bring you down, and that’s half the battle. You go, girl.
