It is so crazy how it went so chilly outside so quickly. I love fall but not liking the fact that it is 64 degrees in my house with all of the windows shut. Why is it that we can sit outside in the same temp in a tee and be comfortable but sitting in your home at that temp you need to snuggle up in a blanket. I am so happy that fall is here. I love all of the change in colors and the smell in the air. I just don't really want to turn the heat on. Last year my gas bills averaged about $120. Ouch!!!
I finally feel that my life is coming together. I am stressed but have to continue to whisper to myself that it is for the best and it will all work out no matter how hard it wil be. I just wish that I could afford to cut down the hours that I work. Even though my classes are all online it is just so hard to work up to 50 hours a week plus have the time and energy to study as much as I would like to. It wouldn't be so bad if I had a consistent schedule. One day I will close then have to turn around the next morning and open. Kind of hard to come home and do school work when that Is the case. I wanted to get this entire course done super quick so I can move on but it is not looking like that is going to happen. Gosh I really wish that I were a patient person.
Ok so back to the whole turning on the heat issue. I was sitting here in my office covered in a blanket, then uncovered and got up to go make me a mug of chamomile tea to soothe me so I could head off and get some rest. I walked into the kitchen and started shivering and saw Sammi buried underneath the blanket on my chair. I took a look at the thermostat and it read 62. I set it at 67 so hopefully it will not run too much tonight. I just thought, screw it, I do not want to have to wake up at 7:30 tomorrow for work and get out to bed and be freezing. These old houses stink. I have brand new windows but it is still really drafty. Oh well what can I do. Luckly my landlord lessens my rent by $50 in the winter months because my gas bill is so high. The bills suck but I like to be comfortable and have to think about my animals. Sammi just got his hair cut super short so will shiver constantly. It kills me to see that.
Well off to sleep I am going in just a few. Going back to school has changed my lifestyle drastically already in just a week. This time I am so determined. I am almost 29 and started to get scared thinking that I don't have a career. When all I was doing was working for the past 4 years I would stay up super late, a few days a week go up to the local joint with friends for drinks not worried that I would have to go to work the next morning because I had nothing to do while I was not working and could sleep. The priorities in my life have come into check. Friday and Saturday night I stayed home and studied. I went out last night and for about 2 hours and had a few beers. I needed to celebrate, I got a 93% on my first test. Plus I was craving a Founders Breakfast Stout. If you live in Michigan try it . If you love coffee you will love this. It is from a Michigan Brewery and let me tell you, you will think that you are drinking a chilled great coffee. It rocks!!!
Well off to la la land I go.
