Happy Monday everyone! Here we are in the second week of June already! Last week was my first full week of summer & my first full week back in Minnesota. Despite not really doing much it certainly flew by! While I still have plenty of time left in Minnesota, the roughly 5 weeks I have left I'm sure will fly by just as fast!
Tonight should be the night when the school board officially decides whether or not to hire me. I have started telling a few more people, however with the exception of the head softball coach & a friend/former co-worker, none of my other co-worker friends know yet. I'm not telling them until it's official.
Friday
Friday I went shopping with my mama. I wanted/needed to go find a new laptop. I knew exactly what I wanted but Best Buy didn't have it in the store so we left. We went and got some landscaping stuff & chicken stuff for my mama & then hit up Target so I could get some allergy medicine & a birthday card for a friend. We got lunch at Noodles & Company, which Texas so desperately needs, & I got the one & only thing I've ever gotten there... Pesto Cavatappi. So good!
One of my mom's friends, & former co-workers, is moving to Iowa next month with her husband now that they are both retired since that's where all of their kids live. They had a small little get together with some co-workers at the golf course one last time & I tagged along since I've known those people my entire life, or at least a majority of it.
Saturday
Saturday & Sunday could have honestly been put together. I did essentially nothing I walked Nash a few times, did little miscellaneous things around the house, grilled with the family, & watched TV. Saturday was a super nice day. Sunny with highs in the 80s. We My dad grilled hot dogs for supper since the mosquitoes were a little too much for a bonfire.
Sunday
The big difference between the two days? The weather. The high for Sunday was maybe in the low 60s. Again we my dad grilled, this time split chicken. I did also sit down & attempt to start a budget. Without knowing exactly what I'll be making each month at my new job, or exactly which apartment unit we'll be getting, it's hard to figure it out exactly but I did some rough numbers. I'm also going to challenge myself with a couple of things financially to help reduce some debt. I'll talk about those more once things are more concrete, but I have a plan!
Making a budget or dealing with numbers (of my own) always gives me anxiety... I do accounting & dealing with others money, no problem... my own? DEEP BREATHS. Hope tonight all goes well for you!
