Hello Sunday!

Hello Sunday Night!

First: Patriots are going to the SuperBowl!!!!!!


I don't normally watch football but I still support teams. I'm happy that the Patriots are going and I have SuperBowl Sunday off! So excited!!!!


Okay today is Sunday of course and had the day off. Did make a run to the bank to check my balance in a savings account. I have more in it then I expected which is great! Saving money and not shopping a lot plus sticking to budgets when I do go out to get stuff.


Doing awesome on budgets! Reaching goals!!!!


So for today it was relaxing and a movie day. Watched Maxium Ride which is based on a book by James Patterson. I didn't really like it, I never read the book and sure the book is better.


The movie was good for what it was but I also got bored watching it. Also didn't really like the CG effects either. I would give it 3 stars.


Also watched Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It's a dark yet fun and funny movie and sad. It made me cry when Dumbledore dies and everyone sends up a light into the sky, very sad :(


So in other great news, I got to eat with my gramp and Makayla tonight which doesn't happen often. 


Work is good, life has s good, I'm doing a little better but I am taking it one day at s time.


Not much else is new, just watching stuff then bed. It's going to be crappy weather tomorrow and I still heave to work. 


It's good but sucks to drive in bad weather. Also going to decide on a few places to visit when I decide to do a vacation. 


If I can afford to go to Canada, I want to go and it doesn't matter where in Canada either. It's a beautiful country.


Also want to do a cruise but need to decide where to go.


I think that is enough for now, watching the first episode of Grimm then bed so I can be up early.


Good night and dream sweet dreams

Happy Saturday!


Happy Saturday!!


Not much is new with me but it is Saturday and I'm relaxing and doing laundry before work. We don't have any dryer sheets in the house and I use them alll the time so my clothes are not staticky.


I have an app called boxed which you can buy in bulk and it gets delivered to your house. I love it!!! I do need to order from them again for laundry detergent and dryer sheets.


Things are better today then the other day. Not sure why I was feeling happy/sad but it's passed which is good. I did pamper myself last night and I think it helped a lot, did a Muddy Honey mask to my feet and did a detox soak.


So bills are paid and I'm doing good, kinda broke (still have money) but bills are paid. I'm just going to work on my goals and work. 


Today I work at the nursing home but it's not a long shift and hope to see Kyler at work, haven't seen him yet this semester. I have seen Superman but not Kyler.


I think that's it for now, I may update later or tomorrow. Not sure how I will feel after getting out of work. Also exercising is going well and hoping to go to the gym on Wednesday.


Okay, I think that's enough for now and have a great day!

Bills Paid and Crappy Weather


Not sure where to start this post. I'm not conflicted but I'm not happy either, maybe it's the weather.


So for now I will start with good news. The college is back and I'm back at the cafeteria working, trying to get used to 10 hour days again which is not easy but I get 40hours in 4 days.


I'm happy/sad to be back, I think I observe a lot and what I see makes me not happy but I am working on being positive.


In other good news, I set a new goal for Fitbit in weight loss, so far I'm down 1lb! Working on eating better which is not easy but I'm happy with what I'm doing. Going to work on getting exercise in too before work, I think a walk would be good.


I got a hug from Superman aka Mike. He does make the day better.


My gram is at my aunts house, she is doing good. My grandpa is doing good even though he takes on a lot.


The other day I was reminiscing about the old days or things that happened years ago. How is it that time goes so fast?


I was reminiscing because Jen would usually have a super bowl party and I went to a few. What made me think back to it was that I have sundays off now and I get super bowls I day off this year. 


I won't be watching the game but it will be nice to be home relaxing. Everyone that went to Jen's or lived with Jen always brought food and it was yummy.


Now I never see her and it's ok. Not sure what she is up too these days but her and I don't talk.


I think the weather is causing me to be sad, it's cloudy out and I was awake really early today too which sucks! Oh well I have 5 more hours to go then I'm out.


Tomorrow going to look into a few things, hoping for the best and just going to relax. Maybe I will go to the gym tomorrow since I'm off.


I want to get into shape and I have a membership, been lazy so far this year but no more excuses!


This was written yesterday while I was at work.



Today is crappy weather but I have the day off and I'm going to relax after doing exercise. 


No plans for today but to read and watch a movie later. Bills are paid which is great but the down side is not a lot of money left over. 


It's ok, working on spending less and saving so I need to watch what I buy and maybe work more at the nursing home. Will see about that next weekend.

Today

I am so BUMMED!!!! Grimm is in its final season! 


I LOVE this show and now it's the last season :(. Very sad and I'm all caught up, Hulu has season 6 which is great but the season just started. I do plan on buying the season digitally too through my streaming device.


I may get them on DVD too but will see, for now I have seasons 1-5 digitally and plan on getting season 6 maybe in March.


I just bought a Fall Out Girl Chunk soap!!!!! Super excited right now!


It's a Perfectly Posh soap bar and I LOVE it!!! It's retired and someone has one and I'm buying it, yes buying it. Sad that it got retired but if it comes back I'm stocking up.


Okay now I need to figure out what movie to watch, I need a break from tv shows so figuring out what movie to watch.


Also looked at Apple Watch because I have a sleep app on my phone and it needs to be near me when I sleep to track patterns. Well I read that it's not good for you so I'm thinking a Apple Watch is better.


I would ask Matt but him and I are not talking so maybe I should try Nate? I don't know many tech people that know a lot about Apple and Matt would know because he has an Apple Watch.


Well I guess I'm on my own, no I don't have enough money to buy one but saving up for it and saving up for a Apple computer.


That's my news for the day, I was a little down but decided to do laundry, shower and pamper myself today to cheer up.


It's great to be Pampering myself and I feel much better when it's done.


That's all my news for today, promise. 


Have a great night!

Awesome Pampering Day

Well it's been a couple of days since I last posted but hey I like updating.


I had today off which is awesome! See normally I wouldn't be this happy about a day off but since I have stepped away from negativity and stepped away from friendships, I'm doing a lot better and I'm being more positive! 


So things are going great today and I did a little pampering for myself. I'm an independent consultant for Perfectly Posh which is all natural products made in the USA. They have soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, face masks, and masks that have volcanic ash in them.


So I used some of the products today. I used BFF which is best face forever and it exfoliates. I didn't like the smell of it but my face felt lighter after washing it. After I used Whole Lava Love mask which has the volcanic ash in it and my skin has never felt better!


I haven't told people about this stuff because I'm shy but some people may be on a budget which I understand and that is fine. I get a discount and I'm happy I became a consultant.


Tonight I tried Muddy Honey body mask which is good for tired and cracked skin. Yes it has real honey in it. Left it on for 30minutes then rinsed and put on Honey Honey body creme. My feet feel great and very relaxed, this may become my new thing after a long day at work.


So that's my day today, I didn't go anywhere and I'm happy which is a rare thing but like I said, since stepping away from friendships and not talking to those people I have been doing much better.


The people I stepped away from are not bad, I am possibly a very negative person and they could have had some negative impact on me without knowing it. I know people think they know but do you really?


No you really don't know me no matter how long you have known me. I feel that people just don't care how I am or what my interests are anymore and I just needed to step away. It's one of the best things I have done and I'm a better because of it.


So I'm going to watch Grimm and finish the season then start another season. I also need to watch Once Upon a Time. I did watch Emerald City, looks good so I hope it's a successful show. 


Now to go watch some Grimm and go to bed early. Have a great night everyone :)

Quick Update

Quick update before work at 3pm.


Not much going on just working today and being lazy before work. 


Watching Grimm before work too. Love this show. 


Family is good and life is good. Work is ok and I have definitely made sure to take time off for me so I don't overwork myself.


The college job goes back next weekend, the college kids will be back and in town. Most of the kids are very nice but then you have the kids that don't care.


So looking forward to new things and just being happy. I'm enjoying my time off from one job and working on bring positive which has been good.


There are bad days for me but I'm always trying to be positive and be happier. Now that I have stepped away from a few friendships, I think it has helped me.


I do know one ex friend just doesn't care about me and that's fine because I don't care about them either.


The other friendship I stepped away from is doing me some good plus I have learned a lot about these people by stepping away.


With that being said, things are good and I'm happy.


Do I want to get more? Yes. I'm also saving up money too and trying to be better about my spending.


I may not get out as much as I want too but it's ok because I'm working on goals. I'm in a good place right now and it's been awhile (feels that way) since I have been in a good place.


Going to finish the episode I'm on for Grimm and get ready for work after. Also I'm going to check out Emerald City which is a new take on Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz. It aired last night and Hulu has the first episode.


Also need to get caught up on Once Upon a Time. I watched one episode of the new season  and they are on a mid season break so I can get caught up plus I'm still watching Criminal Minds too.


Lots to watch so need to do that and work.

Today and s a Great Day

Today I'm writing to music.


Things are ok but not to happy with one job because I was told one thing a long time ago and it no longer applies which sucks. Guess I need to rethink my winter holidays for nursing. 


Onto better things. I'm filling up my memory jar which is fun and a great way to look back on 2017 at the end.


I have today off which is awesome!!! Sad news is I rescheduled my tattoo appointment that was for next Friday to March.


I'm bummed but honestly I am being smart with my money this year. I looked at my finances after paying bills and I wouldn't have been able to afford the tattoo.


Waiting til March will give me enough time to put money aside and have enough when I go. I think from now on I'm going to load money into a prepaid card and do my tattoos that way.


I have two prepaid cards which is awesome because you can only spend what's on them. Now to put money aside and save.


So things are ok not great but ok. I'm working on my goal of saving money, filling up my memory jar and working on being positive.


I'm getting hungry, guess I should eat soon. 


Also started a reading challenge on Goodreads for myself. I want to read 80 books this year, got one read and almost done with another book so I'm on a roll.


Alright I rambled on long enough, sometimes I post a lot when I'm bored. Other times I'm good.


Okay, I wish everyone happiness today and have a great evening!

Good Days

It's now 2017, I'm hoping to do more this year and hope for a better year. 


Things are going great and I'm happy. I'm working and binge watching Netflix and Hulu plus paying my bills. I have saved some money so things are off to a good start.


I'm working today but it is nice to get out and socialize even if it's at work. 


Also got done with season 3 of Grimm but what bums me out is that Hulu and Netflix don't carry the show. Hulu only has like 2 minute clips of episodes so I would need to buy it.


Good news with buying the next season is it's $13 which is great but I'm waiting to see what I get on payday this week. After my bills are paid and if I have enough left over I may get season 4.


Season 5 is the same amount and season 6 is about $30 but that's because it's the current season and it's a season pass.


I am getting the seasons digitally which is great because I can watch it on my phone too. Also I want to get Apple TV. 


I did my research folks and you can have multiple streaming devices plus I use Apple products and ITunes.


It won't be til later in the year that I go get Apple TV because I want to save up for it. It's a goal, put a little bit of money aside every two weeks then go get it or have it shipped to the house.


Good news, I'm using my memory jar that I decorated. Not a lot of memories st the moment but we have the rest of the year to work on it.


Now to relax and dry clothes plus wait for Makayla to get home. After I'm off to work, hope tonight goes better then Monday night.


So not sure who reads this but if you do, thank you for looking. I am striving to be a better person and be less negative but it's one step at a time.


So thank you again for looking at My Life's Writing.

December 31, 2016 very late

Today is December 31, 2016! It's New Years Eve!!!!


I'm looking back on the year and it has been a roller coaster for me. There were good things and bad things in 2016 but I'm glad that they happened.


I lost friends along the ride, lost myself a lot and learned a lot about myself.


It was a tough year for me and I believe tough for everyone.


So hoping 2017 is better and going to make some goals and hopefully stick to them! I made goals for 2016 and I didn't stick to one goal.


Going to repeat one goal which was put a dollar aside everyday. Basically day one is one dollar and then day two is two dollars and so on.


I also want to make some goals (short ones) and see how it goes.
