work out your finances for less stress!
i stayed home today. i took advantage of the AA's germophobia but at the same time i did not lie about my symptoms or circumstances. yes, i probably have a low-grade fever and one of the kids was sick but taking that all into consideration, i probably could have been in the office today but i just didn't want to suffer throughout the day with everybody hearing me. i am working though so no time off with pay.
as i have done a lot of catching up in LJ, it seems as though the friends list has a lot of stress going on so i'm taking the time out to give all of you warm fuzzy hugz! go get a hot chocolate and take a break for 5 minutes to just give yourself a little bit of you time. i sayz so, so go do it! ;) i've been sending out prayers too. :)
someone is going to purchase a copy of this past sunday's service. sitting there in the powerhouse church and hearing that message about family, family structure, and tying it positively to the bible was just amazing. i am looking forward to have that to watch over and over again. the pastor there, g.f. watkins (i finally remembered his name), has a very candid service as in being open to relate anything that's happened in his personal life as applicable to the service. he's been open with the ugly as with the positive and i really like that. he's a real person and not some pastor making you flip pages and telling you to do as God tells you. i've needed to see this and it helped me get over the dislike for an organized religion. i can also 'get away with' taking jayge because it is non-denomination. i will need to look up a sister church for him in ohio because i can tell he really likes what he's learning.
i want to share [with those 5 or so of you that still read my entries] more of the financial tools i've been given to help manage my finances. this source came from a co-worker/friend and i've read to chapter 6 of this book your money map by howard dayton. this book is very interesting and gives sound ways to look at your debt and what you need to do to get out of debt. they also have a website at CrownMoneyMap.org. now, i haven't visited the site other than to gank the link properly but i have plans to visit it in the next couple of days.
someone has also been dragging me to the gym enough that i now drag him to go. *laughs* i've gotten to where i do upper-body weights every time in addition to at least 1.5 miles on the treadmill (sometimes i am doing both at the same time). i've been pushing myself in picking up the pace to a jog for stretches of my 'mileage' to where i can put in 1/4 of a mile jogging. the jogging isn't non-stop [for now] but done in roughly three pulses. :) i was doing this at a 3% incline but i noticed i really bulked my thighs legs so i now do not use the incline function. i haven't lost weight or inches but i at least feel better with exercising.
i'm really hoping the hotel in palestine has a small gym so i don't miss on working out. if there isn't a gym, i'm going to have to go take walks/jogs in the area. oh yeah...i have fieldwork for the next two weeks in palestine,tx for NASA. :)
time to work!
