Bad Habits & Bad Debt, Celebrating One Year, Job Searching and Simplifying Finances

by

Oh boy. I think I’m paying for it today for my wonderful day yesterday. Perhaps I did too much too soon after being sick, because today I feel like I tank has run over me. Thankfully I was able to rest for a few extra hours and even my cat layed slept by my side the entire time. My cat is usually not one to do that. It makes you wonder what animals are thinking sometimes.

As for me, the rest wasn’t all that restful. I kept waking up and I was dreaming of a project I’m working on going haywire at work. It almost makes me wonder what lies there for me tomorrow morning. As suspected, I was running a fever and I always have some horrible dreams when I have a fever.

I hope I feel better tomorrow. As horrible as I feel right now…it was worth it for yesterday 🙂

I am a little late in sharing some articles that caught my eye this week. Being sick has put me a bit behind with everything.

Cody shares that bad habits = bad debt. I’d have to agree.

JW celebrates one year of paying off their debt. Congrats, JW! I know you wanted it all paid off by this time, but you guys are doing awesome!!

For those in the job market, you may want to check out Matt’s ongoing series about job searching.

Lastly, Jim has an article on simplifying your personal finances. I’m thinking of doing this shortly by closing some of our credit cards.

What a Wonderful Day

by

Friday was not a very good day. I still wasn’t feeling well and after work I took things easy and went to bed early again. I wanted to be well-rested for a very fun day today (well, now yesterday). My goal was to go outside and enjoy a nice winter day.

What a great winter day it was. The sun was shining and the temps were in the low 30s. My husband was busy shoveling snow off of the roof and my son and I worked on a snow fort. There was a pile of snow just waiting to be dug into.

We both ended up giving up about three feet into it, because a brief thaw during the winter left a layer of ice that was difficult to dig into. So my son grabbed his sled and had some fun sledding down the pile. Our dog also joined in on the fun.

We even fit in a nap and after the sun went down we played some games together.

It was a very wonderful day 🙂
