Getting settled in.
The moving is complete. What's going to be unpacked is unpacked. Need to do some catch up laundry, blankets and such. Still a few things needed to get. I have a new garden hose, so I can water everything from back to front. Maybe even be able to wash the car!
With all the new expenses, I've been taking on more assignments than usual and being offered much higher paying assignments with consistently being done twice a month. While there is more work entailed, it's still easy money. They say you can't make a living on 'mystery shopping'. I would have to disagree when you can make more in a month mystery shopping that you receive on Social Security.
Not all mystery shops are 'shopping'. I do a variety of things. Business inspections, compliance inspections, property inspections. Inventory of specific companies' products. Merchandising for other companies. Easy Peezy things like online quotes for work to be done, screen shots replace in person calls. Online applications and inquiries. Of course there are the gas station shops, fast foods and nice sit-down restaurants. {I love food!}
I'm not really into the travel and hotel shops. Yes, you can make money from airport shops and hotels, rent a car and so many more. Family entertainment - like theme parks, adventure places and even the movie theaters. I wish I would have known about it all when the kids were younger. We would have been able to do so many things that 'we couldn't afford'.
Added in a few Notary appointments and I'm doing okay. I am hoping to get a few things off the 'need it' list, and it would be nice to get a few of the 'need paid' list accomplished before the Holiday season. I'd like to start the New Year with a little less debt and a little more comfortably.
Recent doctors appointment tells me I'm getting a little older and life is getting a little more complicated. Another appointment coming soon, hopefully we will have removed some of the threatening health issues. Weight loss is still high on the list. It's causing complications to my breathing amongst other things. Not all of it is a result of too much food or to little exercise. There are inner body malfunctions aiding to the situation. Hoping to get some of them fixed soon.
The lack of sleep or being able to sleep through the night, doesn't help. In the last 7 days I think I've had one solid night's sleep. To bed late and up early seems to be the new normal. With an hour of wide-eyed energy in the middle. No more pills, I already take too many medications I don't want to add any more So sleeping pills are out of the options.
Hoping to get a new walking schedule started with Chanelle, hopefully getting back to the daily walks will help with both the weight and the sleep. Plus, we have a whole new community to explore and there are so many trails and parks around here. I'm actually looking forward to getting out there and making new discoveries.
It's time to get around and head out to a friend's house to accomplish one more of her 'to do' lists. Yesterday was spent helping one friend get a few things done around the yard, today is helping another friend - find the inside of a room! One that has been accumulating 'boxes' with no where to go.
As you get older, you need to let go of 'things'. Try to reduce the burden on those who will be left behind. It's a reality, we all have to face. Our time here is limited. Make the most of it.
Blessed by God
Life's ever changing @ the Bright Side of the Barn
