I'm starting to get nervous. My credit card bill arrives any day now and I've been putting some pretty big purchases on it the past month: eye exam and glasses, car repairs & tires, dental bills, web server fees, and many other little things I can't remember right now. Those items are adding up to almost $1000 already. I'm hoping a couple of things didn't make the most recent bill, but it'll still be high. And I'm determined to pay off the entire balance, even though Basil tells me I can do it in two months instead of one. I would rather take it out of my emergency fund than pay a penny to the credit card companies. I also go to the dentist tomorrow for my final crown on my tooth, but at least that should be on the following month's bill. Basil and I are cracking down on the spending (again!) and I should have some healthy overtime the beginning of July, so I shouldn't have any problem paying. I would just like a month where I don't have an unexpected expense of over $100.

How Nice! Discover Took The Time To Write Me A Letter!
Discover: "Congratulations! Your credit line has been increased to $6,600.Dear Basil Bizarro,
Congratulations! Your excellent credit management has earned you a credit line increase. That means you have more buying power than ever. So, how will you enjoy it?" (from actual letter)
Me: "I won't be using it." (from my actual mouth)
