I'm kind of using this time to push off walking the dogs because it's cold outside and I walked dogs all day. So here's everything that's on my mind.
My mom is becoming more and more financially dependent on me. I've been paying her car loan, her phone bill and I expect soon I'll pay her tv costs. To be honest, it does stretch me a little thin, but my mom is sick. Despite our terribly history together, I can't stand the thought of her being without something she needs or suffering. I'll make her my dependent this year so at least I'll be in charge of everything, but that's scary too.
I'll be moving rooms at the beginning of the month, into the smallest and cheapest room. I feel good about it and a little worried because I'm not sure all my things will fit in the room (?!) but it will all work out. I've been doing so many overnights for the past couple of years and that can take me out of the house for weeks to months at a time. Additionally, I'm also dating Dan who has his own apartment, so I spend time there with him. This year I have a lot of bigger expenses that I could foresee: bachlorette parties across the country on memorial day weekend, wedding in Spain, Sidda being a moneypit. For now, it'll be nice to save a little money and get rid of things I no longer need.
Last week, Dan and I were in Canada and then in the Poconos for skiing. It was such a nice time to not watch the news and feel detached from everything, although I missed the dogs terribly. The time away helped me get my head right again with work. Otherwise, I've overcommitted myself with printing stuff and need to find 10 extra hours in a week to get it all done. I'm trying to be more understanding when something is late to ship out.
Alright, dogs are getting antsy, time to do a dinner-walk.
