Have run into a problem

After depositing all my saved tip money in the bank to cover student loan payment and the car insurance, I have discovered that I know longer remember my password for the ACS site. So I requested a new one. It hasn't shown up yet in my email box.I have this horrible feeling I have the old wiped out zombie botted email address in my information. I have sent them an email requesting the new temp password gets sent to current email address. Still waiting for a reply.

On the other hand while I can't find the letter saying when my deferment ended and when I have to start paying again. I have found a piece of paperwork saying my due day is next month. I hope like hell that is correct.

And if it isn't, I will just take a picture of what I found and sent it to them. Then we will dicter.

****

Later, yes I have finally gotten an email from them. I have gone into account, and yes, as far as I can tell the next payment is due next month.
Its just that I remember that the letter I got, said tomorrow or the second as the due day. . . And the fifth month, not the sixth.

Downloaded The Blogger App!

And now to try it out.Seems to be working better then going to the Web site via the browser.

I have a yellow iris blooming in the front yard.I have never had a yellow iris before. My brother said he had planted some, but its been like seventeen  years since then.

Yes, this is a lot easier then going though the browser. The reason this occurred to me was that three is a WordPress app. It dawned on me at that point that maybe there was an blogger app as well.

******

The plants are still doing well. Yes, there are some yellow leaves, but there are also blossoms! Its definitely time to transplant them into the global buckets.

I hope I have enough dirt. I'm really low on money right now. I can't really buy anymore right now.

I have spent all the income tax return money. And it was money well spent. I have new car mounts and a really nice fridge to shown for it. But now I am struggling with my decision to give my sister two hundred dollars each month for the house tax. I have managed to do it two months in a row, and I am making it a priority. My sister has made it plain that they are struggling right now with the niece's tuition bill. They have already spent the money they saved up for it. Its just really hard to do that and save up the 500 I need for the new car belt. In fact, I have to put in the hundred I have saved, in order to pay my student loan, which starts up again in May. I have to find ways to live within my means.

Hopefully this will become easier when I have those pesky credit card paid off.

Testing, once again from the new phone!

Okay, I have to type in HTML.Other wise I can't get the alphabet to show up. Aso it seems to be returning in a very small space, and I can't actually see what I am typing.  [And I will only do this if I am desperate, wait! There's the dictation options, haven't tried that yet with this!]

So plants are still alive and I need to transplant them very soon. I'm looking forward to getting home grown tomatoes for myself. [later on computer, in fact, Mr. Stripey, the heirloom tomato plant, has a blossom on it. It is time to transplant them into the global buckets.]

 Speaking of plants, all of my mothers irises are blooming this spring. The lavender ones have not bloomed in over a decade. [And if I could figure out how to get them out of the Real Player program and into the My Pictures folder, I would post them, damn it]

Where I Remember I have other Things To Talk About Besides The New Phone!

I made three global buckets with the help of my sister and Brother-In-Law's tools. However they are still sitting empty as it's to cold to transplant the the tomatoes and bell pepper plant I bought to put in them. They are doing okayish, right now. My sister gave me two other tomato plants as the ones I bought are late producers, and the ones gifted, are early producers. I transplanted those into red solo cups (red is suppose to help survival). And it's getting about time to transplant them.
And instead of buying a 55 gallon barrel for water, I, at my sister's insistence, bought a used fridge.  Yes, I"m getting into prepping! I just want me and the cats covered if there's a really bad earthquake. Prepping for anything else is beyond my monetary means.However I have thought of a intern solution to this. I know that WallyWorld has five gallon containers for camping. I would like to buy a couple of those. I just don't remember how much they cost. I would like to have enough water stored for about a month.

I intend to slowly get a stockpile going, of water, food and first aid goods. I also intend to have a 72 hour bag as well, and I'm going to try to get family to go along on this. This may become their  Christmass gifts. Then I only have to train them to keep the bags in their cars. . .

Okay, Update On Phone

Yes, I finally found my old phone, yes OLD PHONE! Only took 12 days. I found it inside the toilet paper packaging! As soon as I touched it, an old memory surfaces of me dropping it in there as I frantically threw myself on the toilet (lactose intolerance). After about five days of not being able to find it, I received a coupon in the mail for $150 off a new phone from T-Mobile. I went down to the shop. It turned out it was for one special phone and phone plan, i.e; the My Touch and the Unlimited Talk and Messaging, plus a 2 gig data plan. All together $67 instead of $55 as my current bill. And ten dollars of that is paying for the phone for the next twenty months. On the other hand I GOT A SMART PHONE!!! It's not the one I had been looking at, but that's moot since I had no idea what to look for in a smart phone.

I LOVE this phone. It took me about three days to learn the basics, still working on it, (like, I have finally figured out I can scroll down on contact numbers so I can put in house addresses, but I can't get it to save? I've boosted the bill up to $85 for next month (I'm assuming the second month bill was a credit for the $70 I had to pay), for the apps I bought. Pooh, car finder app, that I can't even figure out how to use! Plus whatever for using the TV app. Wow, that one was a data drainer. I used it in the last ten minutes of the first month, and went over into the next month's data plan. I used up 10% in the five minutes! I'm going to stay away from that app.

Since I have unlimited messaging, I have enabled some of my twitter accounts, and I find that very enjoyable. However I now wonder how John Swazi gets any writing done.The Syme method is a mind blower, it's so easy, but there are still glitches, Kim instead of I'm, and inn instead of in. I just have to watch for that. I'm getting tendinitis from texting!

I really, really love this phone.
