I have been unhappy at my job for some time.  I have found a new position and will be starting on September 12.  I will be taking an overnight trip with my sister between jobs.

Yesterday was my birthday.  My DF and I took a short out of town trip  Just plugging along.  

Wow cannot believe I never entered my June update.  

Hit all three goals for June.

Late in month to post July goals.  My steps have been down lately.  

Went on my first job interview in over 11 years.  Did not get the job.  Will keep looking.

Hit step and water goal.  Weight remained the same.  Missed debt payoff amount by around 6.00.

June goals. Net worth up about 700.00 since April 30th.

Step 225,000.

Average 45 ounces of water a day.

Payoff 585.00 of debt.

Lose 2 pounds.

Lowered debt payoff amount because I am cutting back on the extra amount I pay on one of the debts to put those funds towards the new tires I need.

Refridgerator was delivered on time.  Slowly refilling the refridgeraor and freezer since all the food had to be thrown out.

Work has been crazy busy.  Many changes.  Having difficulty figuring out which project to work on.  As much as I dislike looking for a new job it might be time.  

Well my refridgerator is not working.  New one will hopefully be delivered on Wednesday.  Will be an interesting few days.  

I do not really celebrate Mother's day.  I have no children and my Mother passed away on Mother's day. Happy Mother's day to all the Mothers and Grandmothers.

Glad it is May.  April was just not a good month.   

Many changes happening at work.  As much as I hate job hunting it might be time.  

Net worth is down over 19,000.00 since the begining of the year.  Most of this is due to stock market.  Hope the slide stops soon.  I will work on what I can control like paying down debt.

How did I do on April goals.

Hit step and water goal.

Missed debt payoff by less than $2.00

Missed weight loss goal, but moved in correct direction.

May goals

Step goal 232,500

Average 44 ounces of water a day.

Life will never be the same.  My brother-in-law died suddenly Wednesday night.  My heart is broken.  I cannot imagine the pain my sister and her children (boys 24 and 21) are feeling.

Happy New Year Everyone.

The healing of my arm is going slower than I would like.  Well I guess that is part of getting older.  

My days consist of working, having PT appointments twice a week and doing home PT exercises.  I live such the exciting life.   Oh well it could be worse.  I think I making slow progress.

Yesterday was my birthday  Before I broke my arm I had planned to take Thursday and Friday off.  Since I can only work 4 hours a day and feel like I am getting further behind I decided to work Friday. 

 I am doing my home PT exercised at least 3 times a day.  That is one of the reasons it will be hard for me to work a full day.  I need to have at least 2 hours preferably 3 between sets.  It I work a full day it will be hard to space out the workouts.  The comprimise might be to do some work from home in the evening.

I am coming into my busiest time of year.  I see the surgeon on August 24th.  Hope to hear there is no issue with me driving and perhaps working 5 hours a day and I can do the other 2 at home.  I am only supposed to work 7 hour days. 

Long time between posting.  Near the end of June Itripped and broke my dominant arm. The arm needed to be surgically repaired. I had surgery on July 14th, I am currently working half days.  I just do not have the energy to work full time,  

Just plugging along paying down debt and saving a little for retiremet.

I got my second Pfizer vaccine on Satuday.  Had a headache almost immediately after receiving vaccination. Sunday had a low grade fever all day.  Took some Tylenol Sunday before bed and work up feeling good this morning.

Unfortunately one of the plans I had for two weeks after the vaccination will not happen.  I had planned to watch a movie my cousin sent me of my aunts and gradparents with my dad.  He passed away Friday. 

Not much going on.  Work is as stressfull as ever.  I am working on adjusting my attitude stay in the moment and not let my mind wander into all the what ifs.  

Debt repayment is on track to hit yearly goal.  Net worth is continuing to move up.

Weight loss is not going as well as I would like.  However hoping to work on this in the upcoming month.

I really do not have much to say.   This will be my one and only entry this monthl  Will have to try for 3 next month if I want to average 2 a month.

My debts are going down slowly.  Net Worth going up slowly. 

Just plugging along.  I have been going into the office most days.   I work better in my office than I do at home. I will work from home if the weather is questionable.

Not much going on in my life.  Just going to work and doing the best I can.  Paying down debt and accumulating retirement savings at a slower rate than I would like.  

Have been getting in steps to keep me on track to my step goal for the year.

One of my goals this year is to average 2 posts a month.  

So in order to try to stay on track this is my first entry for the year.

Not much going on in my life. I actually go into office because working from home was not working well for me.  I do have a desk set up in the event I have to work from home again. 

Almost ready to engage the car warranty people in a conversation just to speak with someone differecnt.  Just kidding not that desperate yet.  

Debt payoff almost on track for the year.

So glad 2020 is almost over.  

It has been a frustrating year on many levels.  

On the plus side I had my best step total.  Hit over 5 million steps for the year.

Goals for 2021

1. 4,750,000 steps.

2. Stop gaining weight and attempt to lose weight.

3. Pay down $5900.00 dollars of debt.

4. Work on improving skills in the event I need to find another postion.

5. Post twice a month.

Happy New Year everyone.

Nothing new really going on.  Still paying debt down.  Have not checked retirement accounts yet.  Hope everyone had a Happy and Quiet Thanksgiving.  It was just me and my DF.  

Not much going on.  Still going into work everyday.  Net worth went down due to stock market.  Debt is down.
