Sober Week 2 (Day 18)
YMCA: No
I didn't post
last night. It was strange. I was feeling really good all day long,
but as soon as the sun went down I had a MASSIVE wave of “don't
give a damn.” Hard to describe it as anything else. I think that it
might have been because I spent the entire day sitting here at the
computer playing Fallout: New Vegas. I managed to get to the YMCA
yesterday, but after that I just sat here at the computer just
sitting here. I think that broke my mood. It's just so strange for me
to go to bed at 10:30pm
I'm going to talk
about financial stuff. I was a big hesitant at first, but then again
1. I usually only get about 15 views on each these posts, and 2. If
anybody if thinking about stealing/scamming from me. Calm down I work
as a supervisor at a grocery store.
Paycheck
deposited today because tomorrow is the 4th of July about had a heart
attack. It was about 10% bigger than I was budgeting for. Last week
the pay check was more than I was budgeting, but it had “retro pay”
on it. That means that I got a raise, I didn't re-balance the budget
spreadsheet because it's hard telling how much the actual pay check
is and how much it is plus or minus the retro pay.
spent all morning
and all evening re-balancing the budget spreadsheet, probably should
have waited a couple of weeks to make sure that this week's paycheck
is going to be the average amount to expect from a paycheck. Next
week's paycheck having holiday pay on it isn't going to help with
finding out what an “average paycheck” will look like. (Not that
I'm complaining about the Holiday Overtime) But there wasn't anything
abnormal on this weeks paycheck to make it an abnormal check. And the
CSM said that if you work on the holiday it doesn't count towards
“Holiday Overtime” which doesn't make much sense to me, but
“making sense” is almost the opposite of what is actually what
they are going to do. But seriously I was weeping in joy for how much I am making compared to how much my bills are each month.
The financial strategy is that each week I'll transfer all but what I want to be a weekly "allowance" into my "Bill Savings" account and then on the fourth Thursday of the month I'll pay the bills for the next month transferring enough from the Bill Savings to checking to pay for the bills. But the latest raise makes each paycheck to be enough to pay the monthly bills! I'm still trying to come to grips with this. But it's strangely euphoric to make enough each week to pay the entirety of each months bills!
Really kind of
proud of myself that I didn't buy anything during the first half of
work. I have a bad habit of buying energy shots/drinks while I'm at
work. And I have enough food at home to last until August. I have a
couple more cans of Sugar Free Monster Energy still at home. So I
didn't have to buy anything for lunch. I did have to fight the
habitual urge a couple of times looking at the Energy shots I just
kept telling myself that I wasn't tired. And as I was leaving for
lunch I was able to convince myself that I had food and drink at home
and I didn't need to buy anything as I was leaving the store. I was
able to avoid buying more energy drinks for the second half of work.
Again I am proud that I left the store for the day without buying
anything. It seems to be such a simple brag. But it won't mean much to make enough to pay the bills each week if I'm spending all of each of the weekly pay checks on extra food and meaningless "energy" drinks
Quite a bit of
fireworks going off outside tonight. Considering that it's the night
before The Fourth of July I'm not hating on anybody launching the
“Rockets Red Glare” or the “Bombs bursting in air” but I'm
just thinking that it would be nice to have the money to light on
fire. (my opinion on fireworks)
I did receive
some coupons in the mail. Supposedly these coupons are biased on your
shopping habits. And considering I received a coupon for free seltzer
water as well as coupons for ground beef and bratwursts they might be on to something.
