Still trimming, look Ma

Yesterday I turned my cost cutting focus to Comcast since I recently came off a promotion for my cable internet service.  The price had ballooned to $45, way too much for my now much more frugal tastes.

I was able to get my price reduced without speaking a single word, handling the entire transaction via Comcast online chat.  I took a downgrade to 12 mbit service, which is still plenty for me.  I secured a rate of $29.95 for the next 12 months which I could live with.

Ali has been getting a taste of hassle as well as she is trying to lay the groundwork for her move.  For the first time in her life she is going to be dealing with some stuff that was normally exclusively handled by me.  I have been trying to help her make some of those choices but of course the ultimate decision will be hers alone.

I have been sort of numb to my upcoming new reality the last couple days.  Even though a major change in my life is rapidly approaching it almost seems surreal. At this point I wish I could fast forward through all of the emotions that are sure to leak out and plop myself safely on the other side of the split.

I got a shiny A on my dentist report card.  They were very impressed with the improvement of my gums due to a focus on flossing I made over the past 6 months.
