Balancing Life: Managing Chores and Credit Goals

Mood:

Listening to: Megan Thee Stallion’s Captain Hook

Today, I felt like I was waiting and never truly felt relaxed enough to do my household chores. It’s been a busy week so far. I went to my front-of-house meeting at work and learned a little bit more. I tried to glean some inspiration from a cutesy server that I work with. She could be the ultimate camgirl. Anyway! She said that after the meeting, it wasn’t going to be a relax-kinda day, she was working on her “projects” today. What did that even mean? I guess I have projects but I tend to sit around and watch the same crap on Netflix all day. I have comfort shows but some things I can’t look away from. Anyway, I won a Starbucks gift card but I’m paying it forward to Amber in a letter that I’ve been meaning to write for a while. She’s been my very dear friend for over ten years so I’m telling her in writing and sending along the Starbucks card as well as a freebie from my work so she can go with her beau. I went grocery shopping and spent way too much. It’s so frustrating shopping these days, everything is so expensive.

I received a credit card offer in the mail and thought, “what the hell”, scanned the code, gave them my info, and viola, it worked, kinda. I have to put a little deposit down in order to receive a line of credit which I’m going to be SO responsible with. I’m debating whether to tell Mum or not and just keep it to myself but quietly work on my credit. I’ve also registered for two classes this summer and with only working three days a week, I’m confident that I’ll succeed. Vivian will be a distraction during the day but I want to make it work. I need an anchor skill instead of easy-to-attain hospitality/customer service skills. I’ve been a bad student, so I filled out an appeal to change my denied status and I had to give them my plan-of-action to achieve all of my courses for the certificate. This time next year, I should have a certificate in Accounting. I’m eight classes away. I’m excited about that, but I have to be able to afford it. So fingers crossed for the financial aid!

Too much caffeine.

Today was two weeks sober.
