Does working 12 hours count as a doing something financially. I'm beat but got a lot done which relieves stress.
Yesterday financially I returned some Christmas gifts that were spares in case what I ordered did not come in the mail. The gifts I ordered arrived on Christmas Eve. Cutting it close but was prepared for them not arriving in time.

SNOW, SNOW GO AWAY
We are getting inundated with snow again today, probably another 6 to 8 inches. We had 16 inches on Christmas Day. Our town is unprepared and we have snow everywhere. This is a catch 22 for me as I love the snow, it is so pretty but I don't want to deal with it, go out in it, anything. I guess that is why people move to Arizona, Florida, Texas, etc....although Texas is having their own trouble right now. Lots of prayers going out for people to be safe.
Started working on eliminating one of my jobs today. It holds possibility. The control side of me wants to keep it because then I can run things how I want but it is unrealistic to keep going at the pace I am, besides the fact that I don't want to.
Finished my book tonight, Florabama Ladies Auxiliary and Sewing Circle, it is not a new book but it was good. Now I have to order the book for a book club that I belong to and get that read. We are reading Birkebeiner. It does look pretty good but then a pleasure book again. Every two weeks I hope to read a book. Love to read, good escapism.
I am going to post one thing I do daily to improve, or at least something that was done, financially.
** Took pictures of all receipts for Receipt Hog. **
Although it takes a while to accumulate points, and I know it is just a marketing tool for companies, it is a way to earn a little bit by recording the receipts on items you were going to buy anyway. I have received $30 in the past and already have enough for another $5.00 payout. It is best to wait until I have enough points for $30 again as the number of points per $5.00 that you need is not as great.
Weighed myself today.....it was ugly, but I now have a starting point. 40 pounds to go.

Down with Christmas
Now I truly don't mean Christmas is a downer, it is more I am taking down Christmas. The house always looks so bare, colorless, uneventful after the decorations are all put away. Honestly I was ready for it to come down the day after Christmas. Once it is over, packages are unwrapped, I'm ready to be done.
Will work a while today, finish putting away boxes, get my Grandson for the rest of the weekend, and just get ready for the new year, hibernate for the day, maybe read, maybe knit, maybe work. I haven't decided.
The snow could be gone too but we have months left of winter. It is supposed to get really cold again this week with highs of -2 on Thursday.
Saturdays are home days, time to catch up, laundry, cooking, etc. We made lefse today for the first time, that was kind of fun.

Contemplation
Tomorrow morning I have a meeting at 10 AM to hopefully make some decisions regarding my employment. I am working about 2-3/4 full time jobs. Two jobs were full time at one point and the other was part time which is ironic because it is the one job that takes the most time. The overtime is wonderful, don't get me wrong, but I'm getting a bit burned out on it all. I would like to get other streams of income also started kicking off the new year. This will take planning, I'm excited.
Sat down last night and totaled up by assets versus debts, not pretty. Partly it is not pretty because I am buying a new car from my husband so included that debt which is $30,000. Probably that decision was not the smartest but I have always wanted the car he bought for me to buy from him.
Today I made a deposit which is going to pay one of my bills. I don't have a lot.
1. CC - $16,400.00 (stupid I know).
2. Auto - $29,100. (probably not the smartest)
3. CC - 163.50 (I pay this one off monthly).
4, 5, 6, and 7 are $2,000 accounts I am completing for my grandchildren.
After the first of the year with transferring some money around I will have #4 and 5 paid off. Paid another $600 tonight on #2. My big credit card I am moving actually to CC #3 because it has 18 months at 0% interest and then tackling that card with vigor.
My assets totaled $43,133.06, debts $52,855.37. Like I said if I would take out the car it would be a completely different picture. These are only my personal assets and debts not our family's which includes other vehicles, homes, etc.
There are some really neat blogs to team up with for different postings. I may try that. It is fun to go back and read older posts. A good time capsule.
