Last weekend shopping day. Last chance to get one step ahead and the signs aren't promising. The storm killed everything the last few days. No Xmas bonus this year. I'll be lucky to pay the January bills when they're due. Oh well. It's actually the worst sales month since nine-eleven. And that was the worst in the store's 40-some-odd years of operation.

It's time to start considering plan 'B'. There is no plan 'B' except to just pack up all my guitars and move to a trailer park in Oklahoma. I went into this with enough cash to carry me about a year. The year is almost up and now I'm paying all the expenses for two households, one which was heavily loaded with debt. Debt, bad. I haven't made enough to support even one household. Toldja' I didn't like living this close to the edge. The foothold is starting to crumble. On the bright side, it's one heck of a guitar collection.
