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.
Lose 2 pounds.
pay down another 600.00 of debt.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had a medical procedure at the beginning of the month. Results were not exactly what I wanted but could have been worse.
Set up a spot to work at in basement. So it is getting a little better. I also go into the office about 2 days a week.

Still working form home. Still not liking working from home. Since I really do not have a desk, I am working my kitchen table. When I work at the office I felt cut off from people since I work in my own office. Now I really feel cut off. I also feel I am not as productive working form home.
Since there is so much uncertainty, I put my stimulus money into my savings account. My planned vacation was cancelled.

In June of 2010 the company I lost my job due to the company closing. I started at my present job in December of 2010. Took a 10 % pay cut but I was employed with good health insurance. I like my job unfortunately there have been no raises since January 2015. On the plus side the employee contribution to the health insurance has increased much over the last few years.
On 1/1/2011 I had 97,382.42 in debt. This was mortgage, credit card and home equity. Today this debt is down to 70,911.37. I no longer have a credit card balance. In April of 2018 I took out a new loan for my new to me vehicle in the amount of 12161.00. I now owe 8737.69.
I have always been behind in my retirement savings. I do not have exact numbers for what my balance was in 2010. I want to say it was around 60000.00. Today I have a total of about 145000.00.
