gnucash tells me that as of right now, I have just over a thousand dollars in assets, and slightly under five hundred in liabilities.

But I have to remember that this is not the whole story.

On a hard money level, I still owe $40 cash to mom, which I will only be able to pay when my new bank card and/or drivers license arrive in the mail (since I lost my wallet last week, and with it all traces of these modes of accessing what is mine). Also, I suspect there might be a fee for the replacement bank card, but I don't remember what it will be. I haven't kept up with the changes in terms, which the banks says I implicitly agree to every time it sends more of them -- unless I opt out by withdrawing my money and closing my account. (Or, I could also specifically inform them within writing that the new terms are unacceptable, if I do so within NN days after the notice arrives, and still keep my account under the old terms. This is how the law works.)

On a spiritual level, I owe many people around me more than I can possibly comprehend -- most of all my parents, in a debt I will never, ever, be able to repay.

Scott might owe me something for work I did for his clients last week. But then again, he might not, because back when he was paying me a salary, I was slacking off and getting very little done -- not fulfilling the terms of the agreement. But he kept paying me up until July 15 anyway. (I think the two of us are going to need to renegotiate soon, because I know I still want to keep working on x13 at least until the launch, and I know he wants to launch it, but we've both been having trouble dealing with each other lately.)

This is the situation.

NOW, having paid my dad for this month's net connection, and gotten caught up on the transactions done to my bank books during the past few days, I think I'll watch a movie. Title? The Matrix: Revolutions. With a fresh, new, vampire mind.

Devour.
