This Is Not For Everyone

While this is a really great way to expand your purchasing power, I’m not sure about giving so much information away.  At least, though, you will be getting a form of payment in exchange.

52 Week Savings Challenges

I first mentioned this in 2016, but I’ve been able to follow the Level 3 - double the savings amount - this year and I’m seeing some results.

I was trying for July to pay off my medical bills, but it is looking like it will be the first part of August!

22 July 2019

It feels so good to be back to 8 hour days again.

After work today:

Grocery shopped at Walmart
Fed the cats
Took a load of recycling to the recycling area
Ran two loads of laundry
Changed my bedding
Ran a load of dishes
Took out the trash
Picked up the snail mail and sorted it
Ate dinner
Listened to the storm as it passed by my home

Oh yeah, I watched a little bit of YouTube, but not very much.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow!

Please share.  Mufasa has already found a home, but there are more strays who could use a good home.

Cinderella - Stop Blaming The Victim

Very, very insightful - and of course focusing on the story of my favorite princess.

11 July 2019

This past week has been stressful and emotional.

On Sunday, I went to Church for the first time in a while and found Decker was there with me.  He helped to keep me calm and to remind me of what it was like attending Church with him while he was alive.  I started sobbing after Sacrament Meeting was over and had trouble stopping.  I also received a Priesthood Blessing for this week’s biopsy and upcoming surgery.

On Tuesday, my coworker was home sick from work.  At a point when I was alone in the office, I looked over to her desk and saw that an iMac was turned on with the camera pointed to my desk.  I was looking at the video feed and saw a black “shadow person” walk away from where I was sitting.  I’ve heard footsteps in the room before with no one there, this was the first time I got any kind of visual hint that someone has been hanging around.  It’s never anything threatening or destructive, but it is a little startling.

Wednesday I was getting caught up on the work that was left on my desktop from last week’s stomach bug.

Today I had the biopsy.  I took a couple of ibuprofen before I left and was thankful I did.  The medical staff were unable to access the area for the biopsy, so it was stopped.  As I’ve not had children, my body is not stretched out.  The pain was significant as they tried and decided this was not going to work. I went home with tears in my eyes feeling completely dejected from the experience.  They made it clear it wasn’t my fault and the health insurance company needed to realize that my body isn’t going to tolerate this.

I went home this afternoon and ended up sleeping for 4 1/2 hours.

I’m feeling sore and there has been some bleeding, but it will pass.

Onward.

She has also just come out with a new mid-year reset to go with her beginning of the year life shaping program.

5 July 2019

I hope all of you had a wonderful Independence Day yesterday.  Mine had neighbors shooting off fireworks in the wee hours of the morning.

Not so bad considering I’m off today, however I had to be up at 5:00 so I could get ready for a doctor’s appointment this morning to go over my hormone test results. I’m now on a cream for hormone replacement therapy.

So, after the appointment this morning, I drove to Walmart and did about $170.00 damage for food.  This food, however, will last me a while.  I got more of some of my staple foods plus the quickie meals from Maria Calendar.  I’m stocked up.  I also bought some salad, so I can have something healthy for lunch.  LOL.


I then went home and put the groceries a way

Then I took the plastics and cans to the recycling, then went to Costco and filled the gas tank.  I was going to pick up some items, however Costco was a madhouse.  I don’t need the items right away and it can wait until Tuesday.  Costco is usually slower on Tuesdays.

I went home and got a call from the pharmacy filling the prescription that it would be ready after 2pm.  I went home for an hour and then left and went to the pharmacy.

It’s after 3pm and I’m hoping I can stay home for a little bit so I can cool down and eat some food and take my medications.  I’ve not eaten yet today.  LOL.

Have a great day!

1 July 2019

Day 1 and I went home sick from work.  The tummy and shaking legs sick.

I’ll listen to the scriptures and The Peacegiver from bed today.

Today’s diet:  7up and crackers.

Habits


For July, I will be trying to turn a few new processes in my life into habits.

This is not going to be easy for me, but it will be worth it.




For starters, I will be removing the apps for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat from my devices for the month of July.







A few other things I plan to do:

Remember to take my vitamins daily.

Listen to the Book of Mormon (at least one chapter, more if I have time) daily.

Journal daily.

Read daily.

Wish me luck!  I’m going to need it!  LOL.
