Made it to Friday

Happy Friday!

Today, I tried to stay busy at work. I helped a couple of the insurance agents around here the best I could. I got some sincere gratitude around here today, which was nice. Not a whole lot has transpired. It has been the usual. Just a few paper jams and supplies that needed to be replaced. I kept myself a bit distracted with the news and what not. I need to get better at coming up with projects for my help to work on when she comes in on Monday. I have worked here long enough, I can create work for myself, but that isn't something that comes overnight or with only a little bit of training.

A friend of mine was wanting to visit me this weekend, and he has been unable to find transportation to get close to me. My car does not have one fan working to cool the engine other than the heater when I turn it on. Fortunately, the radiator is still OK. I just cannot drive to go pick up my friend, and unfortunately there is no way my friend can drive either. It wasn't his fault, he lost the ability to drive due to medical reasons. Theoretically, I could drive out there and back, but I would be quite uncomfortable, not very safe, and the possibility of overheating is too great for me to take the risk. I declined to even try to drive out to Garland to meet up with him. I just don't think it is a good idea, and after I explained my position again, he understood. Unfortunately, I can't help there.

He is going to try to arrange a ride to my place tomorrow morning and a way back the next.

I have much to do at home this weekend. I have some more cleaning to do, and I have a little shopping I need to do as well. I need to be very careful in how I spend my money right now. It is tight for everyone, and I am pretty much maxed out. There isn't much room on any line of credit with a good interest rate. Lots of room on a card with a horrendous rate. My goal is to get out of the debt game and into the investment game. It seems as if it will take me a while at the current rate I am going.

I am still making progress.
My credit score even made a slight increase.
It seems to be jumping around a bit because of the randomness of when they pull the data.
At least it hasn't been going steadily down.

I just may have to start working more hours at the grocery store.
It is either that or really make a side business up here work.

I think the extra effort in making a side business up here work would pay quite a bit more than what I am making at the grocery store, but I still have to make myself do it. It is certainly much easier just to turn in more hours of availability at the grocery store and work more hours, but the payoff is not near the potential payoff of what I have been dreaming about.


Same stuff, different day.

I really need to start preparing for a garage sale. I have some junk in a shed I haven't touched in years.

In ten minutes or so, I will head out of here for the weekend.

Happy Weekend!
