Its not enough anymore right now...

*shakes head* 

I'm back again...this time to write about what's bothering me and clear my mind just a little bit so I don't get close to breaking down. 

Update from 9/18/23 on my #kidneystones and #ureteralstent journey - Bre...

Wishing I could talk to my G-ma Sally for advice

I wish my G-ma Sally was still around to talk to. I could use her advice for the situation I'm in currently. 

I know what the right thing to do is, but I'm not ready to do it yet. I'm scared of doing it and losing everything (my safety net) and then not having anything if things don't work out. 

I'm postponing doing what I need to do with this situation until I prove to myself I will be ok without losing everything (my safety net). 

My exciting day yesterday 🙃🤦‍♀️

My exciting day yesterday 2/11/23

1) I had a customer think she gave me a $5 bill and that I owed her $4 when she gave me a $1... so the manager had to do an audit to verify who was correct and I was, but the lady was still going on how she was owed $4 and I was wrong and she wanted the number for the regional manager to complain...

Otherwise I was over $0.11 today.

2) Can't talk about on here

3) I have another kidney stone

4 years living in Richmond, VA as of today 1/18/23 - Life Update

I've now officially been in Richmond, VA for four years. Its honestly been the best thing for me in life for so many reasons and I'm so excited after years of dreaming of it happening, that it actually happened. I do miss my cat Tallie though and hope she is doing well with my ex-boyfriend. But otherwise I'm excited to still be in Richmond and making goals happen for myself that I wasn't able to before. Thank you to my amazing best friend Brian Croxford for helping me get here as well as introducing me to another amazing best friend in my life Nicole Rhodes because without the two of you. I don't think I would be out of where I was living in NC. You two are amazing 🥰🥰🥰

Life update of sorts because of how 2022 ended for me and how 2023 is starting for me :(

So, I don't know if I will post this for sure or not. 

I had a great year in 2022, even with all the ups and downs it had for me. I feel like I had more ups then downs in 2022. 

But the way that 2022 ended for me has me scared and hurt and upset and unsure how 2023 is going to go for me, because I am lost and confused right now and don't want to end up losing what I have currently, because I love where I live right now, since it is close to downtown Richmond, VA and in a good neighborhood (from what I can tell). 

I just really don't want to be homeless again in all honesty. It has happened once to me while living here in Richmond, VA and the first time it happened (at the end of January 2020) it caused me to have my first breakdown and scared one of my really good friends and caused issues with a few other friends. It almost happened a second time last year (in the middle of June 2022 and just before my birthday 6/24), but I got really lucky and found a place, before I became homeless. 

With what I'm currently dealing with it scares me, because it has taken away a big chunk of my income and with what I have coming in from where I'm working part time at Dollar Tree for $13 an hour (they don't do full time unless you are a manager of some sort and they also don't pay more then $13 unless you are a manager of some sort as well), it doesn't bring in as much as I need it to. I mean last month it brought in enough to pay my bills and rent, so that is good, but what it left me isn't enough to buy groceries (I didn't need to buy any last month), have money for gas for my moped (it is less then $5 for me to fill up, but still), put money into savings, put money into stocks, go out with friends (karoke, poker (currently costs $20 to play), etc...), go out to eat with friends once in awhile, and also be able to go on vacation if I want to get away for a bit. 

So, I'm trying to think and stay positive that things are going to end up working out and my money situation will go back to normal and get better, before the end of January 2023, because if it doesn't quite a few of my bills won't be paid and the most scary thing is that I won't have the money to pay my rent in February 2023.

I will keep you all posted with how things go, when it comes time, but for now I just kinda needed to get this out of my head some and kinda have something to look back onto in the future as well and just to see how 2023 goes for me overall. 

But for now, I'm going to jump off of here and go run an errand I have been procrastinating on for a month with my moped (getting the second oil change done on it)... to be fair I was sick for a bit, but also I've been struggling with being afraid to drive it (at least during the day and week when there is more traffic on the road)... I'm not as afraid to drive it at night because there is less traffic to deal with... but I also just have never wanted to drive either... so I think that plays a HUGE role in my struggle with driving it, but I am going to work on that this year. I am also going to work on getting my driver's license as well at some point this year. 

Life Update: I moved to a new room in Richmond, VA

I haven't really been able to focus on the blog and working on my online work and mystery shopping for May because I have been having to focus on packing to move (which I wasn't totally ready to do so), finding a new room to rent, and working. 

I finally found a new room to rent on Monday, June 6, 2022, then got approved for the new room on Tuesday, June 7, 2022, and was able to move into the new room on Wednesday, June 8, 2022. I was lucky and had a couple of really good friend help me with moving the big and heavy items I have over to the new room on Wednesday. But I still have a few boxes of smaller things at the old room that I need to get over here to the new room by Tuesday, June 14, 2022. 

I am ready to be totally moved out of the old room and into the new room, so that I have one less thing to focus on. Not to mention I am ready to be totally unpacked and settled into the new room, so that it helps me get used to how the new room layout is set up compared to the old room layout. Not to mention it will be nice to not have boxes everywhere on the floor and futon that I am having to walk around and worry about tripping over at times. Also, it will be nice to know where everything is as well, because right now, I don't totally know where everything is and it is annoying. I also am looking forward to having everything it a certain place again and somewhat organized. 

But that being said as I unpack and orgainze and set up my new room, I know there are going to be things I am holding onto for whatever reason that I can go through and let go of, like I was doing when I was packing to move. I got rid of some things, but not alot and I want to do better when I'm unpacking and get rid of the other few things I'm holding onto that I know I don't need because it's trash or junk and just taking up space. 

Maybe when my move is totally finished and I have my new room set up, then I will see about sharing some pictures with you all. 

But for now I should get off of here, and get started on my day, so that I can get a few things done in my new room as well as do some online work and look for a couple mystery shops to do. And maybe even try to head over to my old room and get my bike or a box or two and move it over here to the new room. 

Moving is expensive *sighs* Between the new room costing more ($700) the old room was ($625) not to mention having to pay a deposit as well and hope that I get my deposit back for the old room. Then the fact that I have been getting uber to go back and forth to the old room to get stuff and move it to the new room. As well as go to Wal-Mart and buy a couple new storage boxes to finish packing the old room up, so I can finish moving. 

I'm just ready to be finished moving again for a little while. I signed a lease to rent this room until June 30, 2023, so that gives me one less thing to worry about for a little while. 

I should get going though, I really need to get things done and also get some groceries again because I didn't want to get groceries just before moving, so I haven't actually order groceries since May 8, 2022, and I don't want to wait longer to order groceries, because I don't want to keep spending money on uber eats just because I am hungry and don't have any food at the new place to eat *sighs* 

Anyways, hope you all have a great day and that you enjoyed my life update and I will talk to you all later :) 

I'm back...

I'm back and I'm sorry for not blogging in forever on here!!! 

I want to get back into blogging on here and sharing my freebies, giveways, online earning sites, fun with friends and family, mystery shopping, etc... again... 

My goal with posting that I'm back and sorry for not being around in forever right now, is to help me get back into posting and working on my blog and sharing things on here that will be helpful for you all and just things that I am loving about life again :) and so I guess long story short it is to motivate me to start working on here again sometime this week. Not sure where I will start, but I will keep you posted as I work on things on here so that you can see and check out the changes on here as I make them and update them :) 

Alot has changed in my life since I last posted on here and alot of stuff is outdated on here that wasn't when I was actively blogging. So, I got alot of updating to do on here and alot to catch you all up on as well :) 

But for right now, I just want to say hi again and tell you I'm going to call it a night and I will see you all later this week (hopefully tomorrow) if things go as planned with me getting back into my blogging on here :) 

So many thoughts and things on my mind...
