Broke Week Ahead

I was unable to work last week. Not that there wasn't a little work available, but adding a sinus infection, insomnia, and pre-finals week together, along with little money for gas, make any work almost impossible. I tried, but it wasn't going to happen.

I've been raiding my PayPal account to keep going. I needed to put gas in the car, get cat food, and so on. I have some cash to put IN the bank today, so that a weekend "shop" (secret shopping) is covered.

I hate being broke, but things WILL get better. There's a bit of work this week. Next week, off to Virginia for a few days to see family. It will be nice to see them, and the trip is already paid for. Something to look forward to!

New Job and Back Pain...

Finally! I got a new job. I start on Tuesday. It's part time, but that's OK. I have so many irons in the fire, so many self-employment gigs going on, that a full-time job would just stress me out.

I had to walk a bit in the last couple of days and I had a "Hen Party" at my home, and had to vacuum. So, my back was about over it. Having had a double-spinal-fusion in 1999, I'm acutely aware of any pain in that part of my body. I was able to cope, and nothing bad happened, but last night, after it was all over, I could barely move. I took a Tylenol, not having any ibuprophen in the house, and that barely took care of it. I ended up taking a prescription pain pill, and going to bed. I slept about 10 hours. That's OK, but sleeping so long can just stiffen me up again.

I'll get some ibuprophen when I shop next time.
