dolariThe medical bills are still kicking my ass, and my yearly layoff coming down in two months, I've decided to knuckle down and save by cancelling my roadtripping plans for the rest of this year. Which kind of sucks because I really didnt roadtrip much at all this year.
At this point, there's only last non-hospital bill to pay, and should be paid off next week. That still leaves various follow up bills, $200 in meds a month and $125 for the hospital payment. Add $500 for rent, $125 for utilities and $100 for groceries a week and you have $1350 in bills every month.
Leaves me with $85 a week folding money, usually going to pop-up medical bills. You can see why things are strained.
That isnt to say I'm not doing anything.
The tunnel trip was a lot of fun and very exercizing and scenic. And not far away at all. And, its in one of the few areas (Snoqualmie/North Bend) that I absolutely adore. So I'm going to start heading out that way every weekend and exploring that area specifically.
I'll be heading out to the tunnel again next Thursday or Friday, and this time I'm bringing the bike. The bike path is nearly dead flat through the mountains, and would be good for getting my bike stamina back up, especially 70 pounds lighter.
Other weekends I'll explore the forest roads, especially since I have both a Washington State Park Pass and US Forest Park pass.
Who knows. Maybe one day I'll even climb Mt Sai.
Snoqualmie. I came for the Twin Peaks. I stayed for the beauty.
It'll be rough money wise, and even this is a bit pricey, but doable.
