Up (very) Early

Not sure why, probably stress, but I haven’t been getting the best night’s sleep lately. This morning I woke up around 5:30am so I guess I’m up to get some things done. For some reason my neck’s been really bothering me, maybe I need some new pillows…or I need to stop spending my Sunday afternoons on the couch. Not sure which.
Regardless, now with no 9-5 job I can get up early or stay up late with the option to take a nap midway through the day so I guess in that respect I’m lucky.
One thing that does have my concern as of late is my car lease which is up sometime in August. To most this would be an exciting time, time to get a new car but with everything that’s going on I doubt that’s going to be possible. As it stands now it looks like I’ll be humping it on foot for a few months till I can get some money together for a used Jeep or something (maybe a motorcycle, haha) but in any case it’ll have to be something I can afford outright.
I really hate moving backwards in life but sometimes you have to take a step back in order to move forward in a positive light. Where I live there’s really no other reason to have a car except for hitting the beach or possible job opportunities. And there in lies the rub.
My current lease is a 3 year, 36,000 mile lease and I’m only just above 24,000 right now. That should tell you have much I’ve actually used my Pathfinder in the last three years. I’d consider buying it outright but I really doubt I can afford it right now. At the very least I can probably save about $565 a month for a few months.
I doubt the motorcycle thing’s going to happen but I’ll keep my eye out for just about anything. Anything but a scooter, not sure I could pull that one off without looking a little fruity.

About
I'm a seasoned 33 year old web designer originally from Cincinnati (born in Wilmington) and now living in West Palm Beach. I specialize in high-end PHP and CSS sites as well as fully functional Wordpress and E-commerce sites for various clients.
Even though I'm from Ohio I'm a die hard South Florida Surfer and beach guy. I picked up the sport over five years ago and never looked back. Any chance I get I'm in the water, which is sometimes rare considering that South Florida is fairly inconsistent with surf. Those days we do get are always a great gift.
The blog itself is primary here to communicate with family and friends. If you're looking for my professional site you can go to http://www.mynameisdamien.com/ for a full resume, portfolio and blog.
