Much ado about nothing kind of day

I've had two busy days off, and today is a stay at home day. Class yesterday, visiting the hospital for the financial help regarding my bill.... I still have calls to make, cleaning to do, but that takes very little time these days. As for the rest of the week, Wednesday was a bit of a wash since I did not sleep on Tuesday night..stress, worry, who knows, but I gave up at 6am and started laundry and shopped for food.

The shopping for food killed my budget for this pay period. The bill at the register just seems to be getting higher as I buy less. It's sort of freaking me out, wondering just how much I will be able to afford just getting necessities, and prescriptions. I've joined the rest of the gang in using a local ciggy shack to pay less for those cancer sticks. I have no idea what else to cut out, it's down to bare bones already. I need a roommate badly. It is the only way I can foresee affording the cost of living, but I am stuck in this lease till March.

I have to set up a truck and a storage unit today for the dining room. I tried to sell it, and that was a loss of $70 in ads, only 2 hits which both bailed out on me. So, now I have another bill..yippee! I have some muscle lined up, and crossing fingers all will go well in a few days. They could not grant me time off to take care of this, so I will unfortunately have to call out, not something I like to do, but the guys are not available on my days off, so that is beyond my control.

Wednesday was bean soup day...made a huge pot, it's yummy, and my main meal for the week. As long as I can make these kind of things I can get less at the store and save a few pennies.

The Christmas decorating is complete, and it's as much as I will put out this year. Just enough to help me through another alone holiday. I figure if I did not it would be just that much sadder. I will send cards, but buying gifts is out this year entirely, there is just no way to pay for it.

I wish I could at least see some of my family this season, but my days to work are on every holiday day, Christmas eve and Christmas day, New Years eve and New Years Day, working straight through it all. It will keep me busy, but I know myself...I will still get some of those holiday blues, it's a given.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.
