I don't want to go back to work

But at the same time I'm bored...

Been trying to figure out my budget for the year.  Part of my loan was paid off so I'm now able to manage it on my own.  At the same time what I had been putting aside to give to Mom / Dad is too much.  So...  I had thoughts of paying extra to pay off my loan sooner, but Mom and 7500centfish were saying to just pay what is owed for the mean time.  So what to do with the extra money?  I mean...  It's not like I'm rolling in dough like geebs.  And I've always said, I feel uncomfortable with having surplus.  Not that I see and spend...  So I thought maybe I can pay my own car as well and "bank" Dad's money.  Even then the amount I'm left with still seems too much.  But at the same time I know I'll always dip into x fund to pay for groceries and my medical expenses so...

In other news...  I was seeing how much I should put into my "gift" fund.  I spent like half of it on Christmas gifts this year.  Yikes...  Well it also included all the Christmas decorations I bought this year, which I hope won't get expanded on year to year.  And...  Part of my contributions to my church were also part of the Christmas spendings, but overall what I gave to my church is like...  A little over half of the total.  So...  Other than Christmas and my church it went to tips, food for bdays and mothers day and the like.

I also increased some of my other funds without looking into if there is a need to do so.

Accidentally over read Fr. Brown.  I'm almost into tomorrow's read.

Dream.  I felt like I was traveling somewhere.  But then when I returned home...  I went upstairs to get my tweezers and I found Tita Carmen and Tita Mena in the bathroom.  Tita Carmen comments the shower is broken.  There was no hot water and the water wasn't draining fast enough it would overflow.  I go off and do something, but then come across the bathroom again and Tita Carmen is still trying to figure out the shower, so I go downstairs to tell Mom in the hopes she'll call a plumber or something.  Once again, I'm off doing my thing and come back and see Mom trying to fix the curtain which had fallen.  Tita Carmen makes a comment that Mom hasn't done anything but fix the curtain.  I then try to figure it out and turn the shower on.  It works, but the the water pressure drops when the hot water is turned all the way up, like it did last time, but this time it had to be all the way up.  I lower it till it turns on again, and...  The water gets warm.  So I'm like...  This isn't warm enough?  But then...  The tub kept filling and not draining.  I thought something more than hair was clogging it.  Soon Jennie comes in from nowhere tying to figure out the issue as well.

I had to dope up last night to sleep.  For some reason I was itchy / had bumps on me.  Like it was multiple places I thought maybe I had bed bugs or the like.  But I didn't see any sign of them either the bug or like...  Bumps in close proximity or tiny spots of blood on my sheet.  Putting high dose steroids did nothing.  I ended up taking a benadryl to, if it didn't calm the itch it would knock me out.  Still have the bump on my arm...  Not currently itchy.

7500centfish is looking into putting Mom back on verizon, but somehow track her from her current phone.

Scheduled my State Inspection for a Sat, 8AM.

My Introduction to Christianity is delayed.  It was supposed to arrive "today", but now it says like end of next week.  There are also currently no new copies being sold.

Lol...  Shopping spree!  I went to the publisher website and browsed their books.  Bought Joseph Ratzinger Collected Works, Images of Hope and Introduction to Christianity.  But now I'm afraid to cancel my Amazon one thinking maybe the publishers copy will be back ordered and I won't have either book!  I mean...  The email does say if I receive it too late, I can return it for a refund.  I think Kohls accepts returns?  Or maybe I can "dump" it onto someone in Family Chat.  Lol!

OMG!  LOL!  Tita E commented to family chat, "No time to sit and read, Liz."  Slightly offended, yet amused!  HAHAHAHA!!!  And why is she calling me Liz???  7500centfish then told me to try Jennie.  Hm...  I never gave her a copy of Why We're Catholic either.  But nope.  She doesn't want it either.  HAHAHAH!

Reddit posts.  Asking why Pope Benedict's body is exposed vs Queen Elizabeth in a coffin.  1 comment is it's cultural.  But then the first comment is Reminder of the Flesh, the Resurrection of the Dead.  I love Catholicism...

Several threads on which Ratzinger books to read.  Most important writings of Pope Benedict XVI?, Benedict XVI’s book recommendations?, Start reading Ratzinger.

I know it's available for free through the Vatican website, but I'd like to read some of his encyclicals in print form.
