The Weekend 5 (Sunday, January 31st 2016)

We are saying good bye to the month of January. How can we possibly be at the end of the first month of the year already? That means either 2016 is flying by or it just seems like it. So far nothing great for me in 2016 but hopefully something great for you!?

1. Workouts this week I did manage to do 2 walks. I did them in a row as in days and then regretted it. I felt the pain from day 2 and I have no idea why. I walk ALL the time. I walk to the Sprinter to and from, around school, at work and then I workout. Truly I am shocked by anything. But I could have just been feeling weird for other reasons. So I walked twice Thursday and then Friday because I had 2 free days when I home in a row and tried to enjoy them.

2. Work this week I worked a few times. I worked on Sunday a smaller shift of just 4 hours. It was an opening so I was gone by 2pm. Which was nice. I got off and went home. I closed on Tuesday and it was a long short shift. I had that after my job interview so that was a long day. I had an interview and then later I had work. I was just glad to be off before 10 as I had school next day. Thankfully this current week my last week where I will be closing. I did this for 2 reasons: school needed to do stuff online at night on Tuesdays or Thursdays sometimes & also because I hate closing then school next day even if not that early! So there you go. This week and next are super busy for me. I am working 4 days each week and taking in around 20 hours. More about that next weekend.

3. I did my taxes this week and I was very disappointed. I got back $577 which sucks. I got $700 last year. I was going to get over $1,000 which I have NEVER gotten back that much. The most I got back was around $900 in 2010 it was beautiful. We bought a keyboard, I bought my sister an ipod that she lost later, other stuff. So I was like wow. Then I put in my PC stuff for school. That check I got last year that was nice also wasn't taxed. So it counted towards my financial aid and it made it look like I MADE that much. IDK why either. I think something got changed for taxes due to the president this year. I usually have breaks since I am single and make so little. My job w2 came in under $8,000. So I wasn't making that much. So the majority of my tax return is my dog. Unless PC gives me another check I will have no free money I am broke again on my own. Just waiting for my money to come in my account. $550 for my dog heart thing in June. I love her so NO complaints there but I wanted just a bit more. I thought $700 would be okay. I would have some for her and a little for me. Now I am on my own for school books in March, the race in March, anything else. Forget Harry Potter land in LA in April. That wont happen unless I have a check or a better job. Which I am trying for and trying to be hopeful about!

4. School was okay this week. Getting more into my editing class. Trying to understand my online English class. My literature class for libraries is interesting so far. But we are barely into it. I will look into volunteering soon for a library or some place. I have to decide where by end of Feb. And then I have to do 15 hours sometime in the semester. I am still aiming first for our library then moving around but shall see!

5. This weather is what end my update this week. It was raining and windy today. And then it has just gotten windy. The rain is going away but the wind is not. It is just insane out there. The whole house is shaking making me nervous as nothing else. No jinx the power or anything here but we need this to be just wind and nothing else. This isn't TN or AZ no bad weather I hope. No tornados but still wind wow it is crazy out there!

I am going to go now. I have a lot to do tonight and very little time to do it. And my energy is zip from this weekend of working and not sleeping enough. Till next weekend. Have a nice week. See you in February!
