Kicking and Screaming

Why is getting back to what is "good" for me so dang hard?  Every single time.  Lordy.

I got my monthly yesterday.  Good and bad.  Finally on the upswing with the earache and now cramps and a headache.  Best to get it all over in one week -- I guess (as if I have any choice about the matter).

Add to this ... THE DENTIST.  Why?  Why?  Why?

I did ONE of the big things on my list for November.  Downloaded and setup Quicken ... discovered I was spelling it wrong too LOL.  It's a yearly subscription, but it seems like you can cancel and use the spreadsheet without continuing all the extra stuff.  I got the basic program.  All my investments and banking are with another program (free with my bank) -- all I need is a basic checkbook registry.  My version was from 2007.  Next month's balancing will require a little bit of extra work, but then it should be set to move forward as usual.

Next up is my CE credit for my RN license renewal.

Hubby is working on the music situation -- he's annoyed by it too.  Basically, if we ever want new music on our playlist, we need to pay $10/month FOREVER since we won't actually own the download.  We already pay for XM for the cars -- he's checking to see if that might be an option for playlists.  It has to be an option to create a PLAYLIST, not just listen to a category of music.

Saturday we are getting a new foster.  ROSA.  7 year old who's owner died.  The neighbor is watching her and the other dog, but can't keep them.  They aren't bonded so they're going to different fosters.  Hubby and I had a talk about his attitude lately and I think we worked it out.  Fingers crossed.  Apparently, she needs to trim down and get some exercise.  The owner had brain cancer and wasn't able to walk them.  The brother is a beagle mix.

Adorable little Rosa!
18 lbs -- needs to be about 14 lbs.

In addition to the dentist, the replacement sofa is coming this afternoon.  I hold my breath watching them carry the delivery -- my walls and floor are always at risk.  Looking forward to that being over today too.

Never good to wish a day away, but I'm wishing today away and it's only just begun.  Tomorrow my cramps will be finished, dentist done, delivery over.  Relief :)

Some of the wall art came last night.  Too late to open it -- like Fort Knox to get into the boxes.  I'll open it today -- eeekkkk.  I really went out of my comfort zone on this purchase.  Big decisions shouldn't be made during PMS.

Okay -- time to do "personal growth" reading this morning.  Big guns coming out to turn this ship around ... again.  I'm sick of hearing myself say it.  Is this a lifetime thing??  Ugh.  Anyway, have a great Tuesday (mine will suck, but then it will be over LOL).  Later gators.
