Tonight was "D-Day," delivery of the rent ($1,000) per the tenant.
Rent paid: $0
Now to type a 30-Day notice and get her out.
Now to rework the budget (bare-bones). We did get some money from my inlaws and the secondary salary from my dad will take care of some of our immediate expenses: $75 ticket, $150 dance competition fee, and $100 license plate sticker.
I recently converted points from the reward debit card usage program. I ended up with $50 to JC Penney's, $50 to Toys R Us, $10 to CVS, and $100 to Target.
My daughters Rx for her asthma meds is now $132.54 a month through year end. I used $50 in gift cards to defray the cost (bringing it down to $82.54 - plus I got a $10 gift card). No sense hoarding those cards when they can help with the immediate squeeze.
Today was DH's regular salary payday and I spent the following:
$20 in gas for my car
$35 in groceries for the next four days
Tonight my parents treated us out to dinner. Sunday is the Knights of Columbus Family Picnic and all I need to bring is a salad. We will be fine, but it will be sort of tight for the next few months.
*sigh*

There are perks to having a real estate lawyer in the family, who regularly serves five-day notices to late-paying tenants in my dad's apartment building. Per the lease it's 30-days notice. It will be interesting, though, should she protest. The house two over from ours just had the sheriff's there to evict the tenants (two months ago). I'm sure the "regulars" (homeowners) on the street are not loving what the tenants have done to the block. There was a registered sex offender in the other rental property two renters back. The joys of landlordship ...
