Happy Thursday
29 October 2020 17:01Happy Thursday! I can’t believe that the work week is almost over. I am happy that it is going by so fast. I need the weekend. This past weekend was spent with Grandma and was very low key. Mostly because due to transitioning at work it took 3 weeks to get a pay check. Going from getting paid weekly to Bi-weekly is going to be a huge transition. It’s been several years since I was on a pay schedule like that. I am going to make the most of it and maybe it will help me increase my savings a bit too.
This new year coming up I want to focus on finance, Improving my credit score (mostly medical from the past) and investing in my home.
I have been studying finance over the course of this year and now that I have employment with steady hours, I think reasonable goals can be established. Ever since my parents passed away it has been a real eye opener how much I have had to stand on my own two feet financially and how there isn’t really anyone to fall back on when things get hard. I am so very thankful for a supportive partner who had helped me get through the challenges of this year.
Speaking of investing in to the home. Last night I found a beautiful Ikea coffee table second hand. It has gold legs and a glass top. It is a nesting table with a smaller table that slides over one end of the table. It has a bottom shelf that can be decorated with the season. I think it is a nice touch to the room.
Today we were a little slow at work so I was able to catch up on all of my Email accounts and social media correspondence. I am horrible with keeping my digital accounts in check. I am going to make an effort to continue getting them to a zero in box status at the end of each month. While I was checking my emails I received a message stating that Yahoo Groups will be shutting down. It’s been well over a decade or more since I used Yahoo Groups but they were once a HUGE source of entertainment for me and I was also able to meet some good friends from there. I miss all the fandoms, PRG’s and chat groups. These were the days before Facebook and some before even myspace. (I am really showing my age here). Rest in Peace Yahoo Groups thank you so very much for the dear memories.
