(no subject)
Alright so I haven't posted in a while. Jeff mildly chastised me this weekend for it. And quite a few things have been going on lately so I'll guess I'll fill everyone in who's not reading lj anymore, except for a select few.
I got my car back. FYI it wouldn't start the Thursday we got back from WV. turns out coolant was leaking onto a connector. its all good now. but pepboys up from my work is going out of business so i think i will stock up on fuel injector cleaner. my car does love that stuff so. which just got me to thinking i dont really know the potential for how long a hyundai could last. you dont see many out and if you do, its the new ones. guess i should talk to more people with hyundais. but on the plus size, its about ready to have 85,000 miles on it and i've had it for almost 3 years now, so if a TPS and some leaking on a connector is the worst problems that little car has had, its doing awesome. better than most of the new pricy, high end cars. boo-yah!
made my peace with the kennel. long story with lots of excuses = not a very happy Lyndsay AT ALL! but i dont work at all this december, which is fine. i'm getting my savings money working with jeff, i'm very appreciative. but i probably wont be going back to the kennel next year. i've just had enough. after someone i've worked with for 2 years that i consider a friend practically backstabs me like that, i cant be nice. of course, we all know i'm the kind of person that if i were forced to work with her, i would act like everything is fine. and i'm tired of that. i hold grudges for the wrong reasons and let them go when i should hold them. not that i should hold them at all, that's not healthy.
Most of my christmas shopping is done. i only have my sister, jeff's Grandma Long, and possibly his stepmother. I know what i'm getting my sister. if i can't think of anything for jeff's grandmother, i'll bake her a batch of my mom's pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. that's what i said i would do last year anyways, just bake stuff to make christmas not so materialistic, but guess what happened?
but after looking at my bank account and thinking of all the freaking money i've spent in the past couple weeks i figured i would be a lot lower than what i was. turns out i'm doing pretty well, my credit card bill isn't too bad, my phone bill's better than what i expected, and even if dad doesn't get a chance to help me out with Sugar's carecredit bill, $85 a month isn't going to kill me.
getting that raise last month helped. And i'm participating in the 401K so i hope that helps more than hinders. i'm not too keen on it now that i've entered, i hate losing money when i can build it up quicker on my own, but we'll see what happens.
I've also let myself start worrying about things i have no control over yet. i'm scared to death of the future. i was hoping to be moved out of my house by now. but it seems like i'm slowly doing things on my own. i pretty much pay for everything on my own except for car insurance (which is usually the first thing someone with a car has to pay for) and rent and utilities. but i'm thinking if its taking me this long just to be able to pay for my own car insurance, how long is it going to take me to help jeff pay for a mortgage, utilities, groceries are going to be more expensive than just the lunch stuff i get every week, although dad has said he has no problem with us coming over for dinner most nights. it just seems its taking so long to get my stuff in order. i'm not going to move out before i'm ready but i'm so scared of failing, hitting obstacles and challenges and not being able to overcome them. sure, i can say, "just a little bit longer, then i'll make it." but if you're paying a mortgage, miss a payment and you're out on the street with horrible credit. maybe there was something to waiting to move in together once you're married, haha.
well, that's enough musing for now. my eyes are tired and lunch is almost over. I hope all is going well with everyone and everyone has a great christmas.
love ya all!
