Wish me luck!
Friday! Yay! Managed to get out of work early and now I am hoping that I am going to really enjoy the weekend. I definitely need to get a bunch of homework done so I am thinking tonight I will go grocery shopping and actually get some good and healthy food (yay for payday!), tomorrow I will do a whole bunch of homework while hubby is at work (we will have to see how that one actually works out) and Sunday we have our friend coming over to help get our apartment straightened out. I am really excited, I hope the plan to fix up the apartment doesn’t fall flat because I am sooo ready to have that extra space back. I plan to just turn it into a miscellaneous room, we have an extra TV we can hook up which won’t have cable but if one person wants to play games while the other is watching tv we can go in there. I plan to throw the yoga mat and weights and any other home exercise equipment we get in there so it will be the little work out area too. Plus I want it set up so that I can maybe study in there or have a reading area. That way I won’t be distracted by the cable and have a bright nice area to be. Plus it will also be available as a guest room, definitely am ready to make real proper use of that room.
So I think that’s it for this weekend, that is the plan. Most weekends don’t really work according to plan but hopefully this one will at least work mostly to plan, even if I can just get a chunk of that room done I will be super happy…I need to find a pawn shop or something to make quick money and get rid of some of this stuff…
A Little Assistance Please?
ARG! Can someone get me out of this blah mood please? I am tired of this, no money sucks, having nothing to do sucks, this rain and gloom sucks…blah! I bought my plane ticket for my sisters graduation which is a yay but that isn’t actually happening until the end of May. I am as always tight on money but should hopefully at least keep out of negatives and I have at least finally gotten smart enough to have an account just for the stupid car payment so that money doesn’t get spent while waiting the ridiculously long amount of time it takes that man to cash a check. I am just grumpy and angry and have been feeling unhappy for the past few days and cannot get rid of the feeling. I don’t want to go to work and am dreaming of the weekend and yet not looking forward to it at all, the only thing I get is I don’t have to deal with work and even better is I can sleep as much as I want and as late as I want. Boo, blah and grrr…
A Change in my Normal Weekend
Another week gone. I thought this month would drag on and it seemed like it was for a while but now I am thinking it is kind of going by pretty decently fast which is great, I am ready for the time to just fly by. Things are going pretty well, hubby and I are fighting less which is awesome for us. I love not fighting, I love when time together is happy and content rather than full of anger and frustration and questioning. Also with the passing of this month is hopefully the passing of the cluster that is our messed up money. I am hoping that everything settles when I get my mid month paycheck which is this week and I can see what I have and how it pays out and see what I am left with. I will still be broke but hopefully not beyond broke and maybe if I am lucky only a little broke, broke enough to eat but not go out type of broke.
Other than that nothing really going on. I volunteered yesterday at a track meet which was interesting. It was stupid cold because it was windy and I was kind of bummed about losing my Saturday but I volunteered and wasn’t going back on it. I had a friend there too so we got to talk and hang out a bit and she gave me some gift certificates to the commissary which was awesome and so helpful, I got to go grocery shopping for some stuff and now we will actually have dinner. So volunteering cut my weekend a bit short, I lost a day of sleeping in but hopefully it will be good for me in the end. All in all it is not a bad weekend, at least I was out and actually did something rather than just sleeping and playing video games and going to play pool.
Easter Egg Bust
Blarg! I am broke again…eventually this will stop happening. I think we have our system worked out, we just have to clear up the mess from the end of last month and hopefully it makes everything smoothed out and good. I also probably could have not bought the stuff for hubby’s Easter basket but I didn’t do anything for Valentine’s Day because I was so broke and it bothered me, I like having the traditions and always being able to give something for the holidays so I wanted to make sure to do something and not miss a something special again…even if it is not a lot of money put into it and a little skimpier than usual, it is still at least something.
It’s another weekend! I slept until noonish today…probably not the smartest thing but it was nice. I originally intended to get all of my cleaning done today so that tomorrow would be just relaxing with hubby since we both have the day off…I failed. I have cleaned some, dishes are done (mostly) and counters are scrubbed and I am in the process of washing the sheets and blankets. Luckily today I think I might actually remember to flip the mattress when hubby gets home, we keep meaning to do it but never manage to remember. And even though I really intended to do way more than that I got caught on Farmville in facebook and watching the mass amounts of episodes of NCIS I have recorded on the DVR, I am kind of pitiful but weekends are for relaxing.
Last night we got out a bit, they had an adult easter egg hunt at some new soccer fields down the street. It wasn’t so much of a hunt like we really thought it would be, it was pretty much a throw all of the eggs on the field and when they say go everyone runs to grab what they can. Honestly it was really disappointing, we were all crammed together but managed to be second row back, when we were released the first row pretty much grabbed everything. Hubby managed to snag one egg which had a couple of candies and a gift certificate to a place down the street for a month of some sort of martial art, I might go check it out soon and see if the certificate works for adults or just for kids. The hunt was a bummer but we ended up going to hang out with some of the friends we went with to the bar. We relaxed, hung out and played pool, it was a pretty nice night.
Beautiful Sleep
Ah the weekend, beautiful…I love sleep…
So, I have been actually watching what I am eating and really working out trying to tone and lose weight for the past week. The result? I am down 1.3 pounds at least since this week started, a few pounds since I decided to generally get better by eating better. I am happy but I really want to actually be able to see it, in time I suppose I am just not a patient person at all. I have done P90X ab ripper every other day this week plus normal PT as well as a bit of Jillian Michaels so hopefully soon I will have the results I want.
Nothing much else going on, work is work, same old same old. Hubby and I are continuing on our way hopefully making the progress we need, fighting here and there as normal. Big boo of the moment I am absolutely completely beyond broke and it sucks. I want to go out and do stuff and have fun and maybe go out on dates with my husband so both of us can be happy rather than trapped in the apartment. The bar is fun but it can only be so entertaining for so long. He may be able to play pool for hours at a time and just hang out but me? Not so much. Anyway, I am hoping that within this next month it will work itself out but we will have to see. Hopefully by June at least I will have more free money because I won’t be trying to save for the graduation. Luckily things have worked out and I don’t have to try to get a hotel room which means I can maybe have a slightly longer less stressed stay. I do, however, have to buy plane tickets not to mention have extra money for food and whatever else I might need the money for. Into July things should be awesome for the most part, one major bill paid off which is extra money in my pocket as well as hubby’s so hopefully freedom to do fun things. I am hoping to maybe finally get some exploring done. Oh, and get some good groceries without having to worry about how much it costs, maybe I can afford to eat the good healthy food finally.
The blahs…
Bored! This weekend is just blah. I taught a class Saturday and so that means I should have a free comp day in my future but I don’t want to use it yet. That just messed up Saturday plus hubby and I got in a huge fight which kind of killed the rest of it. Today wasn’t too bad but just so blah. I don’t know, something is just off with me. I want to get out and do things, I want things to go back to happy I just want blah. I don’t even know anymore. Anybody have any tips to fix the blahs?
Stupid colds…
Ah, the weekend, finally. This week has been pretty blah. I haven’t been on the internet for the last couple of days, I decided instead to sit with hubby and watch movies and leave out the computers. He is still really sick which means the apartment is a total mess. Apparently he cannot put dishes away or throw away trash when he is sick *shrugs* whatever, I am not going to rag on him too much, he says he will fix that when he gets better so if he doesn’t then that is when I will start getting really irritated. Supposedly he intends to clean up some today and get through a lot of boxes to unpack today.
Work is work, it is blah. Hopefully some things have been settled and we finally got some answers we were waiting on and for now they seem to be in our favor. Other than that, nothing to new there.
We got cable. Woot for that except I was channel surfing today and a lot of the channels I want and like are not in the basic package which I find very annoying. They are one package up which is about $15 extra a month. I think I will wait for this month to pass and get the first bill with all of the installation fees and then go add the other set of channels. It is going to be interesting working this new bill into the budget but it is totally do able, especially when hubby gets a job. Supposedly he is calling up the district manager to see if he can get that job they basically told him he had. Not a straight transfer, he has to interview but supposedly it is just a basic interview then they can put him into a position. We will see how that works, then we have to figure out the car issue, having one car is gonna suck. Whatever.
Beyond the Basics
Happy Friday! Woot! I got out a little early from work today and worked out a nifty deal. I have to work for about two hours this weekend but because of that I get Monday off. That means that I have the entire week off next week which is nifty even if it isn’t for the best of reasons. I found out today that a friend of mine from tech school actually had his wisdom teeth taken out about a month ago so I got to talk to him a little about it. Unfortunately, he told me that his bottom holes haven’t closed up yet so he still has to clean them out and everything, such a pain, I really hope mine heal up a bit faster but probably not. He also said it only took him about 2 weeks before he could eat normally again so I guess that isn’t great but not so bad either.
So currently I am doing my standard sitting and relaxing. I gave into my craving for junk food and got Burger King for dinner. I figure since I cant really eat for a couple weeks I may as well enjoy it now. I am watching Indiana Jones because it just felt like the thing to watch. It’s the old school Indy, Raiders of the Lost Ark, I still haven’t seen the new one and I am still deciding if I really want to. For now my weekend will consist of sleeping as much as possible, eating good food, teaching, taking care of a friends cat while she is gone and generally relaxing. I think this may be the weekend I actually get a nice bath, it should be pretty nice.
I got in a phone call with hubby today, I like getting time to actually talk to him, even if it is just while he is on his way home from work. He was exhausted from work but more than that he is just so generally exhausted and worn down. I feel bad for him, really he does it to himself but I can’t help but feel bad for him. He is wearing himself so far down and he doesn’t even know the last time he was happy or went out and actually had fun. Right now all he has is basic survival and that doesn’t make anyway really happy. I really hope for his sake he moves up here, he needs a space where his issues aren’t so compounded and he can think beyond just the basic survival. Even if we don’t make it I think that just getting him in a better environment would at least show us really if we had a chance or not.
Finally…an Appointment.
I love down days, I actually slept late. Apparently it just takes a couple of days for my body to realize that sleeping late could be nice. The only thing I had to do today was make it to a dental appointment so that I could make my other appointment. I got to watch a video about what the potential risks to having my wisdom teeth pulled but also the risks of leaving them in. Honestly I didn’t really need any of it, I was all set to have them pulled and it was going to happen with out knowing what would happen if I left them in. I now have an appointment (finally), a lot quicker than I originally thought it would be, to get them pulled. Unfortunately they are being pulled a few days before Thanksgiving but luckily I had no plans for Thanksgiving anyway. I had to bug my supervisor to be my “escort”, technically they said I should have someone there for 24 hours after the surgery but they said its not a necessity. I just need a ride there and back to my place. I will have the rest of the week and the weekend to recover so it should be nice, hopefully there aren’t any complications. Supposedly my teeth should be easy enough to pull but that doesn’t always mean anything.
After I made my appointment I sent my hubby a text saying it would be nice if he were here to take care of me after surgery. He called fairly quickly after that freaking out that I was going into surgery and didn’t tell him. He he, serves him right, A)I told him I was getting them pulled and B) as much as he has messed with me I have the right to mess with him every once in a while. It was funny and he was planning to call anyway, we had an appointment. We actually had a good phone call too, no fighting and some laughing, it’s been a while.
