All the Stuff
Work stuff: Super busy. I've searched deep and found a way to handle it with a positive attitude. More work means more money, and more money means no debt, and no debt means freedom. Free to find a lesser-paying job that might offer a more fulfilling career life, and free to cut back on work and focus on school. Right now my job is an avenue to the things I want out of life. This is what gives me options. As long as I hold my head high and get through it and focus on the goal, someday it will be different.
School stuff: My high school still hasn't cashed my $5 check or sent my transcripts. I'll have to call them. It's beginning to seriously irritate me.
More school stuff: I spent a lot of time online the other night looking at classes and trying to decide what I want to take. Since my algebra skills are so lacking, I have to start with elementary algebra. I'd like to take that on Saturday mornings so I will have time immediately following the class to do any homework that might be required for the week.
I think I'll take music appreciation as an online course so I can involve my musicial FG in my studies and get used to the online structure. Plus, you have to attend three musical events during the semester, and I recognized two on the list from the past semester that FG was involved in. That might be fun.
I'm debating on whether I should take English on Monday nights or online. My gut tells me to do it in person because I anticipate the "in-person" testing part of the online class to conflict with work, and I'm not prepared to get into any conflicts just yet. Plus, I have this whole test-anxiety type of fear of essays and such and it might help me focus to take that class in person. I go back and forth on this. Dedicating that one evening to this class might be structurally better for me than having to sign in four times a week and risk not giving the class enough attention because of work or something. I don't know. :(
That should do it. If all goes well and I can get fully admitted, that's the plan. I guess I should get an appointment with an admissions counselor. I'm running out of time.
Food stuff: Not great. Being tired and getting home late is a bad combination. My lunches are at weird times and my breakfasts aren't consistent, and that sets the stage for disasterous dinnertimes. If I don't get my butt in gear this morning and eat something, today will be another disaster.
Other stuff: pms. tgif.
Extra stuff: FG is still in cleaning mode. He's sorted and organized everything in the house! It's remarkable. I think he feels obligated since his work situation changed. We haven't noticed too much difference in our income or lifestyle, but he has more time available to spend on the house. He also mentioned enjoying the cabin in Gatlinburg so much that he just wanted to enjoy the house more. It's nice. Once work slows down, I'm looking forward to enjoying it, too! lol. Actually, he has a spot cleared in the front room for my sewing machine. I can't wait to set it up and use it!
