On this Thursday I woke up late, past 8 am and not to my alarm! Ever since starting to work part-time I’ve had more sleep than ever, at times a good thing, and other times not so much! But on that day, although almost the weekend and having it off, which I was looking forward to, honestly, I was not! I could go on and on the reasons why, but this would turn out to be a long, drawn-out blog, and I don’t want to "burn" you with too much blubbery! So I will try to keep it short and sweet… to an extent, LOL!
The reason why this particular week sucked was the fact that I did not accomplish many things at the time! Lagged on my yoga time, did not work out at all and simply just felt too overwhelmed with things! Could it be that I just hit 50? And then the matter of my period, which was brief! Spotting on the 12th, then nada on the 13th, then again on the 14th, and now and ever since, on this Thursday of the 19th, and nothing! I am hoping this is the beginning of menopause, peri-menopause, or SOMETHING! Because to be quite honest I want Aunt Flow to STOP playing with my feelings and my whole self-being! And no I am not prego… God forbid!
Then the matter of bills! I have always been a person to pay my bills right on time… I am proud to say I got that from my mama! So, on this week? For this month? Behind! Again!!! Car insurance? Late! Cell phone service? Late! In previous weeks I paid two of my major bills ahead of time so when the next pay period hits, I can be at least ahead! Otherwise, dealing for the past couple of months with late fees ranging in the $20 and $25 for two of my bills… not what my part-time budget allows or needs! And I am not one to ask my fiancé for money either; we keep our money and expenditures separate from one another! So that is what is going on the budget front! They say we shouldn’t concern ourselves with these things as it complicates our lives, or that money ain’t the thing, just material! But it sure is a priority when it comes to taking care of your bills! BUT I will say... my schedule will change soon... it is just a matter of WHEN! Maybe the "money" will flow for what the needs need to be!
Finally, on that day I also felt like crying many times since I woke (hence menopause?)! Here it was, a nice sunny day in the good 'ol PNW, and I was sitting there wanting to get a good cry! Maybe I will do just that next time, let anything and everything I have been feeling inside of me, and just let go with a good, solid cry!
Needless to say, the only thing that did NOT suck, is my cat Yota! No matter what a butthead he can be, needy meows, or him demanding to be brushed and groomed, he always seems to bring a little normalcy to my otherwise chaotic life! Don’t know what I would do without my fur-baby!
So let me ask you? What has sucked for you this week? Or any week or month? Feel free to comment and share or advice or critique! Anything goes here! I give you permission for it! Just don’t insult me or others… let’s be kind, shall we? 🙏
