Wk 6, Day 2 (Tues, 27-Aug-2013)

THOUGHTS:

• Tuesdays I have to get up earlier to get our daughter to her choir practice that starts early.  Unfortunately, she got up a lot extra early and was taking so long to do her hair with the bright lights and fan going, it kept my husband and I up.  Other things kept waking me up through the night, so neither my husband nor I got much sleep and we are really tired today.  So, no workout because hardly any sleep.
• Faced something today and it was okay.  Accepted it and moving on.
• Finally got emissions done, so now car is registered for the next 2 yrs.  Yay!
• Learning to face my fears.  Not exactly easy, but I'm doing it!!!  Praise God!
• My husband had about 40 min. to kill so we went to a couple Goodwills.  I got to pick up a 15.4 lb (7 kg) kettlebell for $7.99.  What a deal.  That's 52 cents a lb whereas, the least expensive that I've found is around $1.50/lb.  I'll need some heavier ones, but this is good to start.  Yay!  Thank you God!  God is so good.  This kettlebell is in perfect condition.

 

ACTIONS:

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, probiotic.
• Drank water (a 48 oz QT cup).  Back to drinking ice water to see if I will drink more and thereby eat less.

LIFE TO DOs:

• Follow up on job I applied for on Friday on Monday. Did this today instead of yesterday.  Jeremy S will be following up with me hopefully today.  I had called Brian S again to see why I haven't been contacted.  I will probably need to fork over some money to get state fingerprinting.  Uggh.  I've already been fingerprinted for the kids' schools, but now I need to get one so that it will allow me to work with kids at other schools.
• Asked for additional time to finish Monday's work.
• Finish Monday's work and turn in.
• Get all Tuesday's work done Tuesday. - Got 85% done.
• Open up accounts for the kids to put their birthday and other monies into.  Need birth certificates and SS #s.
• Pick up Biotin & ActivaFulvic.
• Apply at ST, EJ, CW.
• Called USPS regarding package I sent to my ex's mom that was supposed to have been returned to me because she never claimed the package.  Great, now I have to pay a second fee to get it shipped out again.
• File a claim with UPSP for package that was supposed to be returned to me.
• Got emissions done for car.  Passed.  The test for cars 1995 and older is a different tests than newer cars and takes a lot longer.  They completed 4 newer cars in the time it took to do our car.
• Pay car registration online after getting emissions done. Paid for 2 yrs and saved on a couple fees by renewing for 2 yrs instead.  My first time doing that.
• Got a check yesterday from the car insurance for over payment, so that will go towards paying for car insurance and next month's rent.  Deposited
• Find a good coffee grinder at Goodwill for under $3 to replace my 20+ yr old one that died.
• Pay car insurance (scheduled for end of the month).
• Pay 2nd payment on daughter's book deposit (end of Aug).
• Renew NN (scheduled for Sep).

• Finish making solar screens for front of house.
• Resolve format issues with some MP3s to my iPod.
• Continue with job search.
• File paperwork in crate.
• Reorganize top of cabinet.
• Find out costs for parts & labor for the things we need done to the Explorer - rear 3rd brake light (whole assembly $120 + labor), passenger side powered mirror ($31 from eBay + labor), passenger front seat powered windows ($120-200 total), left rear tail light ($35 from eBay + labor), rear windshield wiper ($20 from eBay + labor), front hood strut mechanism, lower ball joint replacements ($335), front & rear shocks & struts ($380), rear driver's side door fixing it ($200), belt for the P/R/D ($135).

SLEEP:
