Feeling a bit depressed over my job tonight...it's just too hard to do. And there is too much drama involved in getting it done......

Well, I am having a tough time with finances right now...too many things coming due this month and Xmas on top of it. Such a bummer. I have written so many checks this past week, and only 2 have been cashed so far. I have transferred a lot of money I wanted to save for my investment account in order to cover the checks. Xmas is going to drain my accounts even further, but I am trying to figure out what to do. I get a big refund check soon from a medical thing, but I am still waiting......

I had to pay $28 to attend the company Xmas party...I really did not want to go, but my teammates wanted me there....I have an impossible project to work on, and I have to go thru a move with the team to a new office location, but I have to play that teamwork game......$28!!!!!!! I hope they have shrimp as big as my fist and lots of chocolate...........

I am wondering what to expect in 2 months with upcoming raises at work. I'm not that hopeful.......not if I have to pay $28 for the Xmas party......

My debt repayment efforts have not been going well. I am going to kep trying, keep plugging away, keep snowflaking away..... Can I skip Xmas and Xmas gifts this year???!!!!
I keep getting more and more behind.

Anyone see a high energy/heating bill yet? Mine is still within normal range.

I probably will not be Xmas shopping for another week. I still have no lists, no nothing. I will not shop until I know what I am going to be buying and what the budget is. I am seriously considering just going the gift card route.

Have a good evening............Littlesbigs

HUGS!

Don't let buying gifts stress you out! Set a budget and stick to it! You will be proud of yourself!!!! :)

I hope things at work start to settle down a bit.

Keep doing what you are doing, and it will pay off soon enough!!!!

Hang in there Littlesbigs!


I just shipped off my holiday package to my mom, dad, and sis, and let me tell you - I absolutely went the giftcard route this year.

All my best,
