Working on it

Last night, Katie and I went for a walk. Our apartment complex has a pond with sidewalks surrounding it, so we walked around 3 times. Along with the regular squirrels and geese, there were about a dozen canadian geese hanging around, and then we saw a baby armadillo. It was very cute - like you crossed a rat, a kangaroo, and a roly poly bug. The people feeding the geese were trying to catch it, but they were scared of touching it. XD

When we got back, we had carrots and mushrooms with dip, and after I got Benny to sleep, I made meatballs and Italian sausage for sandwiches. And my family didn't scarf everything down this time, so we can have pasta later in the week. :D I want to try harder to get more fruits and veggies in. Besides what I mentioned and the onions in the meatballs, the only other thing I had were the lettuce, tomato, and pickle on my grilled chicken sandwich.

Ben didn't sleep very well last night, which means neither did I. I'm working OT this morning and afternoon - our offices in India are closed today, for some reason, so we get to make some extra bucks. Which are going into my play/clothing budget. If it were more than 2 hours, it'd go to savings.

Which reminds me - I have to pay my bills. EDIT - I'm using the round robin method of paying my credit cards down. The way they explain it is you work on getting all your cards down to 30% of the limit as quickly as possible, starting with the card with the lowest limit. You pay the minimum payment on the rest of the cards and pay as much as you can until that one gets down to 30%, and then start on the next lowest limit. I already met my goal today on my first card - my LB card - and made a dent in the next one. I really, really want to get my credit score up and make it stick this time.

Writer's Block: Swine Times

[Error: unknown template qotd]No, I'm not worried. The case in Orlando wasn't swine flu, so there isn't anything near here. I've got one kid in day care and one in school, so we deal with germs and illness constantly. I figure by the time it gets here - if ever - our immune systems will be ironclad. :D

Note to major corporations

Please stop hiring Bob Nardelli as a CEO. The only thing he seems to be good at is running companies into the ground. He did it with Home Depot and now Chrysler. Just ignore his resume the next time it shows up. Okay? Okay.

Shrinkage, well, psychologistage

I think I'm going to be in therapy for a while. My therapist's name is Christy, she's very nice and not afraid to be silly. She said that she thinks I'm depressed and have no real coping or defense mechanism. She also tested me for ADHD, but I don't find out those results until next week. One thing I did discover is that I hate my job - more that I'm bored out of my gourd, but I need it for money and the fear of not having that income or benefits outweighs my boredom to some extent.

My mom is, of course, making this all about her. I told her I was going and she started telling me things I should talk about from her life. Yeesh. Then I told her about the ADHD test and she yelled at me that I don't have it and the people are just trying to get my money. :/

I could use a nap, but I'll be working for quite a while.

Swiney goodness

I love sfd_wishingwell. :D
