Check in? Check out?
I was contemplating on whether or not to post today. Technically, there is no challenge going on, so missing a day wouldn't matter. But I've been doing so well, writing every day, that I kinda don't want to stop that streak.
So, here I am.
I had another day off from work (one of the many problems with working part-time is you have too many days off), so I did laundry, changed my sheets, organized my room. Basically getting myself set up for February. Oh and I also finished another book!
Yep, I managed to squeeze another book out of the month of January! Bringing my count to 8 books for 2018. And according to GoodReads I am 5 books ahead of schedule, which is great because I know I'm gonna hit a dry spell at some point and do not want to fall behind.
I've found a writing challenge to do for February.
Not sure how much of these challenges I'm going to do, but I'll at least finish February. My biggest fear is that they will start to get repetitive after a while, I mean how many times am I going to have to list 30 facts about myself?
Let's see, anything else?
Well, I guess I can wrap up a few loose ends in regards to how I wanted to start off my January.
I haven't cooked yet. But there is still time for that. I just don't want to mess up anyone's cooking groove, plus I have no idea what my dad (our current chef) has planned for the supplies we have and like I said, I'm not going to mess things up. So we'll see how February plays out and if I start cooking again.
Money... well I could have done a better job. I have no idea what to expect with taxes this year, but if there is some kind of return, I have plans for that return. Mostly paying off my credit card (don't do that again Gabs) and paying off my car. With those two money drainers out of the way, I can focus more on building up my savings and paying off my student loans. I'm looking to do that whole Snow Ball plan or at least something like that.
Since I'm on a zero payment status for the majority of my loans (hey I barely make enough money to support myself let alone pay these loans), I'll start with the smallest and try to pay that one off ASAP, and with my car loan taken care of, more money to them. And I'll just keep at it until I pay them off, I die, or the forgiveness period kicks in (which I think is in 23 years).
The plan sucks because it doesn't account me ever making more money than I do now, but I can't think that far ahead in my life because I sadly have no idea what my future holds, nor do I have any idea what to look forwards to BECAUSE I have no idea what I want.
Some might find this liberating, I hate it.
But I just have to keep moving forward. Unfortunately, I need to keep a positive outlook on my bleak future because if not, then what is the point?
I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, which may not seem like a lot, but it's a drastic change for me, and see if anything comes of it.
Who know, life might turn around for me. If not, at least I'm doing something.
Well, good bye January, you were good, welcome February, don't fuck this up.

You can actually find this one and prompt for the rest of the year at this site.
