kittenmmm's blog post - Hormones suck, etc..,

So yesterday, of course Monday, was not a stellar day for me. It started with waking up later than normal, trying to get my son ready for school and finding out all his pants had massive rips in the knees, ironing on a patch so he wouldn't be hanging out, trying to get a roast started in a crock pot...ad infinitum. Work has been busy as all get out so I was balls out all day and didn't get some phone calls done then I come home and I'm all emotional.

Poor Wolf...he has to deal with me all weepy and telling him he doesn't understand...yada yada. Good thing he's a patient man and has no problem dealing with my basket case scenarios.

So today I woke up to a day in which I was a little on edge...waiting for the next disaster. It didn't occur and I sailed through another busy day at work, apparently everyone needs cables TODAY! However, I also managed to call the hay guy, what experience that was...we'll save that for another blog...catch up on follow up calls for quotes on laser velocimeters and get out in time for my evening appointment with my financial advisor.

I was the adult today and straightened out my IRA's, moved some mutual funds to a brokerage account, and invested some of the proceeds from my refinancing. Hopefully all the strategies will work out and I will manage some modest growth on those funds without completely tying them up. I have a real issue with money because of past experiences and I'm terrified of being at a point where I have nothing to fall back on. I'm a wicked cheap bitch and I usually watch where just about every penny goes. I'm sure there's a few folks I know who can relate to my emotional state when it comes to monetary matters.

Thankfully, prior to our marraige, Wolf and I discussed these things and the money is pretty much in my hands when it comes to us. We have a few things left to straighten out but it will all work out in the end. In the meantime, my individual assets are managed, my son's trust & college fund is still in effect and I feel better about that. I left quite a bit up in the air during the divorce, knowing full well that my wasband wouldn't touch any of my accounts...he's not like that. My financial advisor knew about everything going on and respected my wishes to hold tight until I was ready.

The hormones, on the other hand, have seemed to level off and I'm pretty much back to normal. Thank God for that. Phew.

off to stratigize
