Went to the bank today and discovered I have even less money than I thought. It’s mostly because I rather-accidentally paid all my car insurance at once instead of in installments, like I did in the past (long boring story as to how that happened - was mostly my mistake, though.)
I’m wondering if it may be time to temporarily quit caffeine. :eek: At least, I now have so much chocolate I won’t need to buy any for a while.
Yeah, I know, I spend too much money on stupid things. I’ll have to stop that for the next little while, I suppose.
I read an article online about a guy who lived on only a small amount of money. However, he decided to allow himself the small luxury of having decent coffee every day - and yet he would go dumpster-diving for food. If you set aside money for coffee, yet you dig in the garbage for food, maybe you don’t have your priorities in order.
And then there was a recent local newspaper article about how to feed your family on a budget - yet the author of the article boasted about having 8 different kinds of mustard. She also gave a tip on an inexpensive way to make your food stinkier. ( I guess that’s okay, if that’s what you want, I suppose.:p)
Anyway, all this to say, perhaps I should re-evaluate my priorities in order to save some money. I should call someone today who can help me with the job search. And I should work on music and crafts, which do make me a bit of money now and then.
Howdy Y’all! I called my doc and begged to be squeezed in as my sinuses are so swollen. He saw me at eleven this mornin’. He saw my swollen face (well nose) and said, “daaaaaaaayummm!” I taught him how to say it like that. Anywho, I have some of that steroid type nasal spray I hate and a ten day course of antibiotics. I hate takin’ medicine. However, I must so I shall and already have. The spray, antibiotics and a two hour nap made me feel a little better. I have also had a soak in a hot tub and The General’s dindin cause I figured the steam from the bath and the spiciness of the chikin might help open me up. Probably not but the bath felt good and The General’s dindin tasted good.
I shall not go to the orifice tomorrow. Instead I shall attempt to irk from home as much as possible. My boss is real understandin’ bein’ as she’s been dealin’ with icky allergies this year as well. I swear this year seems worse than it has been in a long time.
If you were sitting here with me your sinuses would be opening up. Sah-son put too much medicine in the dogs ear and the smell of cloves is overwhelming.
I took a nap today. Shouldn’t have, I have so much to do but my body seems to like waking up in the middle of the night and then napping during the day.
People are crazy and one day I am going to write about it, but not yet.
In case of a zombie attack, iffn you don’t have these it’s good to know that you can use these.
Ignorance fought & all that.
Just finished dinner a few mins ago (that’s because I didn’t get home until after 9:30): Provolone cheese omelet.
Ended up with an especially long day at irk. The storm hit hard enough to blow in several windows around the top of the building and the floor drain became the most amazing fountain you’ve ever seen. But -------- not one package failed to make it out the door and to the USPS on time. Whatever happens after that ain’t my monkey and ain’t my circus.
For now, doing a knee replacement on me isn’t even on the table. Quite refreshing to find an orthopedic (or any other kind, really) surgeon who says you’d be ill-served by surgery and to pursue things like the Orthovisc stuff to re-lube the parts.
I know I’ve said this here before but I actually bought several boxes of the 12-bore version. It’s actually pretty darn good stuff. Probably their Critical Defense (I believe that is what the name is) series in a different package but not the hokey joke I expected when I got them.
I’m pretty sure I shared the recipe for the sour cream banana bread and if you haven’t made it yet, you should because it is TEH YUM and it freezes beautifully so you can experience TEH YUM weeks after you bake it. Guess what I’m having for breakfast??
I have some papers that need to go to the credit union and while I could mail them, I’ll be heading in that general direction anyway, so I’ll drop them off. I’m also thinking about making a trash and recycling run. I should do that early because we’re promised rain later today.
Apart from the usual stuff, I started my day by taping the cover on my 43-y/o paperback copy of The Return of the King. I’ve been re-reading my hobbit series, and these poor old books are quite worn. By the date on the inside cover, I got them for Christmas of my senior year of high school. Goodness knows how many times I’ve read them since then! They cost a whopping 95¢ each, which was equal to a half hour of my labor back then. Almost. I think I was making $2.25/hr as an office flunky for my dad. Anyway, the cover is taped. Huzzah!
So while it’s still dark and chilly out, I’ll surf and read. When I feel guilty enough, I’ll dress and run my errands. Sometimes being an adult is a real buzz-kill!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up because I took meds and am tryin’ to stay up a while bein’ as I spent a lot of yestiddy asleep. 'Tis 68 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 86 and maybe rain. Who knows.
Today I shall do as much irk as possible from home. I’ve even answered a couple of emails this mornin’. Go Me! Other than that it’s take meds and maintain. Maybe a nap. Such a rigorous schedule! For now I think I’ll go purty up cause gettin’ all cleanded up makes me feel better.
I managed to deal with the accumulated dirty dishes, so the dishwasher is running. And I’ve donned garments that will be presentable in public, huzzah! The convenience center doesn’t open till 9:30 - I’ll time the gathering of the household trash and the loading of the truck so that I can arrive shortly after they open the gates.
In the interim, happy fun computer time!!! How many Sudokus can I lose in the next hour or so??
The tub/shower was starting to get backed up & water wasn’t going down fast enough. This is very easy to fix with a plunger; however, there is a plunger for the bathroom & not just for the tub, which necessitated through tub cleaning. Once I cleaned it, I sprayed some Bubbing Scrubbles[sup]®[/sup] w/ bleach in it & let it sit as a secondary cleaner. Did you know that Bubbing Scrubbles[sup]®[/sup] is very slippy? When I put my down foot in the tub it kept going. Body stopped moving when that foot stopped against far wall & other shin came to rest against outside wall of tub.
That’s right, I have an eggo on my lego (but I did not have frozen waffles for breakfast).
It’s mostly because I rather-accidentally paid all my car insurance at once instead of in installments, like I did in the past (long boring story as to how that happened - was mostly my mistake, though.)
I guess that’s okay, if that’s what you want, I suppose.:p)
