Gotta Get Some Money Honey

I've been getting bids to replace my tile roof the past couple weeks which, because I would like to salvage the original Spanish clay tile, is going to cost a small fortune no matter which roofer I choose. Some of the roofers I've spoken with refuse to even touch the stuff!

My lovely, but never ending project filled house.

On top of that, the A/C in my car stopped working so I took my car in to the shop this morning and get a call back that, not only do I need a leaky hose replaced to fix the A/C, I also have a leak in my radiator coolant, both of which cost more than I would like to spend right now. Then....shortly after this lovely talk with the mechanic, I get an automated message from the bill collectors at UNM Hospital because I haven't paid my hospital bills from my car accident last September. It's been a bit of a rough day money-wise and I felt the need to rant.

But the good news is, I walked to and from work for the first time this week and plan to do that as much as possible from now on. I clocked it at exactly 15 minutes each way. That's 30 minutes of exercise a day! I know this isn't a great feat or anything but considering the alternative (which has been no exercise) I'm pretty excited about this. Plus, I'm not casually wandering to work, I'm walking briskly and getting my heart rate up. Now I just need to incorporate some weight training as well and I'll be doing even better.
