A lot of stuff is going on beyond my control. My apartment complex changed owners. Good news is that I can now pay my rent without any additional fees, which is nice. I'm also checking on the closet doors, but not holding my breath. I do need to get a vacuum cleaner since I stepped on broken light bulb glass the other day... it's migrated to the carpet. My student loans are also about to be managed by another company... apparently nothing is going to change there.
I did make a HUGE decision (for me) to get another credit card. This one has better cash back options and a $200 cash back bonus if I spend $500 in 3 months. With gas prices the way they are, that's not going to be difficult. There is a 0% interest rate for 15 months as well, though I'm not planning on taking advantage of that particular feature (unless something goes REALLY haywire). There was a bit of a flub when it comes to the raise I'm supposed to get, but in a couple paychecks I should know where I am. When the new card comes in, the other card will be retired and only used for emergencies. Gotta build that credit, after all (such a crock of... snarl growl... ridiculous nonsense the rest of the world doesn't deal with... growl snarl.. we need an overhaul).
Looking forward to the weekend in NB with J&D. Should be a good time of floating the river and possible shenanigans. Perhaps we'll even remember to take some pix and share them! None in swimsuits tho, k? The weight loss is SLOOOOOOOOOW with me. Sigh.
Anyway, I haven't taken many pix to share (other than some more of the dogs that I was watching over the last week/weekend), so here's some fun memes I've saved on my phone.
I want to do this some day!
The more you know!
It's a travesty that when you become an adult no one asks you what your favorite dinosaur is anymore. I like the one that's a combo of shark and swordfish.
Whoever did this still thinks of Pluto as a planet, and that is beautiful, IMO.
If you see it online, it must be true! Also, apparently there is already Halloween stuff out in stores.
Shark attacks - bad for business, keep beaches open. Godzilla, RUN AWAY!
C sent this to me and I think it's both apt and heartbreaking. I'm a huge proponent of spreading kindness because you have no idea what burdens other people are carrying - it's heartbreaking to consider how many are just trying to survive. It also makes me think of my own life and how often I've just been trying to survive... perhaps more often or for longer periods of time than I'd like to admit. I'm generally optimistic about seeing a light at the end of my own tunnel, but so often the light is merely an interlude between tunnels. Always the goo, never the butterfly (not to mix metaphors, but... ).
There's other stuff going on, but nothing that I really want to get into on here. Suffice to say that we're never in the kind of control we'd like to think that we are. Sigh. In other news, my friend J is back in Korea and making me MISS KOREA AND HER SO MUCH!!! She texted me about Salady - I want my chili bacon wrap now please, thank you. Started looking at how to make the chili sauce... I can probably replicate the wrap but it would be SO much easier to just go get one... and they wraps are so much less expensive there. *sob* I'm Korea-sick today... I need to make a trip into K-town in Dallas... even though it won't be the SAME.
