I got a new used lawnmower this week and a post hole digger for my tractor which will be fun to play with. I got the mower stuck a couple of times because parts of my yard are a swampy mess but it’s easy enough to rescue with the aforementioned tractor.
On a more sour note, I’m probably going to lose my job today which sucks, I have a history of mental health issues and my job requires me to carry a pistol, I thought I had the fortitude to not think about it being there but I don’t. I talked to a doctor about my issues carrying and my ability to carry was revoked so out the door I go.
Good on you for doing the right thing and prioritizing your safety. You’re right, there are other jobs out there better suited to where you’re at.
Takes some sand to recognize the danger here and adjust as necessary, even if it creates temporary difficulties. This, my friends, is manning up.
my job requires me to carry a pistol,
Unless you’re in the police or military that is such a weird sentence.
Other than a rather extreme level of boredom with work and life afterward, it is going just fine.
I don’t know when life got like this… I’m saving and budgetting so hard there isn’t much wiggle room for anything else. Saving up for a house and all that entails is such a pain.
Would it be worth lowering your savings slightly so you have a little fun money?
Props for sticking to a budget though. It can be hard.
I have a few extra expenses at the moment which are basically eating up that fun money and I’m still recovering from a year of my SO being careless with our credit card.
Also, it’s not like I’m doing the ‘broke college student’ lifestyle, I do fairly well for myself and do get to indulge in some lavishness here and there. It’s just the mindset of each dollar spent that way is another one I need to earn later that really drags everything else down. My main issue is that I don’t really leave the house except for work, food, or other errands. Anything of that nature is a bit too large of a dent for me to even want to do without feeling buyer’s remorse afterward.
On the plus side I thought today was Tuesday, so I have that going for me.
Started off with a 40 km there-and-back walk from my home to a town on the outskirts of my city on Sunday. One of the weird little goals on my bucket list, been riding that high through the rest of my week so far.
I’m a month and a half away from a vacation. Eye on the prize.
By elbow hurt for no reason all week. First just slightly but now a bit more, specially in when I wake up.
