One loan down, car to go

The check isn't in yet, but I used the extra income from my Timbo earnings to pay off the rest of my Dr. Seuss loan. It was just shy of $1,200. I had to pay that loan off first because the contract delaying the interest wears off on January 15th.

Any more money I make from Timbo is going to go towards my car loan, which is currently at $6,600. I'd feel really good if I can get it down to $3,000, but I'll take $4,000. If I can get it down to $3,000, then I would feel comfortable dipping into my savings to finish off the rest. 

On top of that, I was able to purchase a new pole with the money from Killer Carnival and Amanda, which was $400. So the extra income has helped me quite a bit. I also want to get a pass to SeaWorld, but that's going to have to come from my bank account, which is why I'm waiting for a good deal. 

Hopefully, some additional freelance jobs help me pay off the rest of my car loan, too, and pad my savings. My goal is to get up to $80,000 at April. But I suspect that I'm going to get hit unexpectedly with taxes come March and then student loan payments after that. And an apartment or whatever I go into next is going to cost twice as much as what I'm paying now. Which is why it's a good thing that I'm paying off some of these loans, as futile as that makes me feel.

Listening to: Utada Hikaru - "One Last Kiss" Drinking: Sen cha from Fava Tea Mood: Mellow-ish. Waking up Working on: Adding Crew 11 to the ISS Wall interactive in Atlantis Reading: Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (audiobook). About to pick up Matilda by Roald Dahl.  Remember when Livejournal used to have the tags at the end where you could add what you were listening to and what your mood was? Mine had little blue kitty icons that went with your mood and were very cute. I miss them. I particularly remember the 'productive' one, where the cat hat glasses on and was tapping on a keyboard. There was also one where it was snoozing and had little 'zzz's above its head.  On a different note, I had never heard this song by Utada Hikaru before (well, apparently I had because I had already "liked" it on Pandora, but I don't remember it), but I really like it. I'm actually repeating it again. It gives old school Utada vibes but apparently came out ...

Weird dreams

I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping this week. Between a host of unrelaxing dreams, difficulties falling asleep, and difficulties staying asleep, I feel utterly exhausted during the daytime.  Yesterday, I had so many odd dreams. In one of them, Skylar was a fluffy black cat like Sammie and I asked Brian at what age do children turn from cats into children, and he and Michelle made fun of me for thinking children were cats, even though she clearly was. He passed her over to me to hold at one point, but Skylar squirmed out of my grip right away, and I was confused how I was supposed to hold cat - children.  I had a more concerning dream about Roto. In the dream, Trevor from KSC work, the gal that freelanced with us once at Roto who used to work there, and I had been hired on as freelancers to write had pitch two ideas for some kind of show.  In the dream, the timeline aligned with this past weekend when I have been asked to guest lecture at UCF for their show writing...
