God is good!

I was talking to my friend last week about how recently I find myself broke again on the same day I was paid, you know, trying to pay everything all at once. This week wasn't looking good to be any different and to make matters worse, I apparently missed a bill last time around because I woke up to my Direct TV being off. I shook my head and told my son I would take care of it, but on the way to work had basically convinced myself not to because keeping it off for a while meant one less bill to pay and would free up a little money for us to try to get ahead.

Typical of pay day, I get to work and start going to all the websites where bills needed to be paid, checking due dates and balances and mapping out my game plan. Expecting it be a hundred and something dollars, just for shits and giggles, I went to the Direct TV site to see what the situation was. As I figured, the total due was something like $142 but a second look revealed that $37 of it was past due. So I hadn't neglected to pay it last time, I just somehow managed to short pay it. Then I thought to myself "Did those motherfuckers shut off my service for $37?" LOL...smh. The other weird thing is that the note above it said that my service would be interrupted if I didn't make payment by 11/15. "So...... why was it cut off this morning?" LOL Long story short, I paid the $37 and the service was reinstated.

I also had another bill that was supposed to be drafted from my account on Friday, but it never was. I call them like "Whats up?" and am told that they have been in the process of going from ACH drafting to a debit network and have been emailing me to contact them with my debit card information in order for the payment to be made. Guess those "select all" deletes aren't always such a great idea LOL. Anyway, the chick tells me that since I called in to update my information, they were going to enter me into a daily drawing for an IPAD mini AND take $50 off the $150 payment. #score

On top of that, I got a card in the mail for $145 worth of groceries. God is so good to me, I'm about to cut a step!
