Adulting

Adulting is someone everyone does, but whenever I do it, I get the urge to climb onto rooftops and be like, “See! I’m an adult too!”

I have a guy coming by tomorrow to look at our floor and see if we can do some glass coating to make it look nicer and easier to wipe up messes. We should have done it when we bought the house five years ago, but better late than never. (Please note guy is gender neutral.)

Two other guys are coming to clean our washing machine, and to clean our “range hood” above our stove. The washing machine may be fine, but when I finally opened the filter things in it, and saw with shock and horror what I should be have been doing regularly, I thought it would be good to have a professional clean where it is known needs to be cleaned. One is on Saturday, and the other is next week. We should probably eventually buy a drum-style washing machine. I think that’s what people with kids do.

I forgot to take my new car in for its one month checkup last week. I didn’t exactly forget, but I didn’t go. So it’s now this week on Friday. The parking is a bit tight apparently. That gives this inexperienced driver anxiety.

Our property tax came for the year this month. With money I would usually put into savings, I’m going to just pay it all off. I didn’t do that last year, and I was then late on two payments due to being forgetful. I wonder if I wanted to naturalize if that would play a part in it all.

I got a small car loan for some reason (I thought I could get a better deal then, but I think I was likely misinformed), and that car loan couldn’t be taken out of my main savings bank account for some reason. Prestia isn’t liked I guess. When setting it up, I also had my regular SMBC bank card with me, so I set it up to be taken from there. I never use the card, so I want to put a bunch of money in there so I can forget about the loan for a few months.

I’ve received my son’s health insurance card, MyNumber card, and that paper from the city that states they will pay the remaining 30% of fees. (A translator would have a good name for it.) I’ll pay hospital bills today. I’m not sure what in hospital stays is not included in health insurance, but we will find out today.

See! I’m an adult too!
