OK, done sulking.

After a two-hour shaolin lesson last night - when the sifu joins, you know you're going to crawl out instead of walk out - I decided to quit being so depressed about my finances. I have not yet begun to plot and scheme a way out of my money woes.

It's not like I don't have any options. For example, I could:

Find some freelance work
Take in a lodger
Somehow unload the spare car (kind of stuck on that one, it's hard to unload a Cadillac Catera, even one with a brand-new transmission and low miles)
Sell stuff around the house I don't want (plenty of that)

Can't resort to prostitution though, as I'm sadly past my sell-by date. Sigh.
