It’s been a tight few weeks, given we’ve had to pay for tiling supplies and the like and try to keep up with bills when income is low due to having the computer out of commission. It’s been hard. I even debated going and begging for the gas station job back, but being in there [...]

Yesterday was pretty busy though I didn’t think it would be at the outset. My intention was to go to Walmart and come back, help Mum with some school work and generally veg given I still have the dregs of this cold that’s hanging on. Except fate didn’t let things go that way. First my [...]

I haven’t been writing about this issue because I wanted to get it resolved with my family and my employer before I spoke of it online. It was common courtesy.
I’ve been having issues with my health at work, again. I spoke about the fact that I pulled out my shoulders and was having flare-ups. [...]

I was freaking out a few days ago because the check engine light was on in my car and we have little funds to spare given I’m supposed to be saving up to get her a replacement radiator (ha!) and she needs an oil change and the brakes looked at given I realized around the [...]

I uninstalled and reinstalled this site, and several of the others are currently uninstalled right now, because I took a break from things and just now have got MOST of this site back together.
I still need to fix the widgets, but it’s past midnight and that’s seriously enough for me right now. My eyes [...]

I’ve been talking several times in the past few weeks and months about us getting a new laptop, and over the Thanksgiving weekend we were actually able to do that, thanks to an amazing deal from Office Depot.
I’d been browsing around deals several places. A friend recommended to me that Best Buy had a Sony [...]

While we were at Target I was also looking around to get ideas for Yule presents. I have several good ideas for the munchkin now based on toys that he kept stopping to play with. He has a yin for all things Transformers right now, and Target also has a lot of Thomas the Tank [...]

It’s getting to the point where in our household we need to start planning for Yule, in the sense of assembling wish lists. It’s doubly hard because of the financial strain everyone is still under this year. I’m figuring to try and make as many things for people for Yule, or alternately suggesting that as [...]
