1. I got my tax money this week and I am happy. It came in on Friday but I was not online all week. Then I see the date reads the 22nd so I was not able to still use the money. Its not a lot of money and most of it is already spent before I got it. But its important stuff the most important. I would have gotten more stuff but did not make that much. I still have to file my state tax one. I have been waiting for my sister to get her taxes done then we can file our state taxes together. You learn every day and we will learn from this too sadly.
2. Our second walk/race of this month was today (Sunday 20th). Sadly it was raining even though it wasnt a huge chance of rain. It was only a 30 to 60% chance and usually in AZ that doesnt mean rain. But of course it does mean rain when it shouldnt and was a bad time to do so. It rained a lot on Saturday and we thought Sunday we would have a break so we left early to see the walk and then had to park so far away a good 20 to 30 minute walk so we missed them starting. This walk was simliar to the walk in October for Autism we did last year. So we walked around instead got free dog stuff for Rainbow like treats and toys. We signed in early at 11am because it was pouring rain and we got soaked coming there to do it thinking we wouldnt be needed or get our early. We then left at 12 when we were supposed to start mostly because we were so cold and wet still and worried we would get sick. It took forever to
get warm in the car but we got warm and did a little shopping. That was not a fun race/walk. But we got two free shirts each out of it. I am going to need to start hanging these shirts there are SO many since we began this in 2009 :)
3. Wednesday two things happened. But the first was I found out Borders Books is now bankrupt. They are closing 200 of their 665 stores. And of all stores to close includes all in our AZ area which means I am glad I didnt get a job at one. And the other is our former store in TN. The one I worked for nearly 3 yrs. I cant believe it. Not one store but theirs in TN is closing. Sure they could get jobs at other stores if they wanted and they would take them on. Worse yet is that if the company does not get it together ALL the stores could close. I loved shopping there even if I was not working there. The thought the store we worked for will be gone deeply saddens me. We cant visit anymore and all our friends will lose their jobs. So this is not great or good news. I'm SO sorry Borders Books!
4. Last week was Valentines Day. I hate that day. I have been single my whole life. There is no other day where people are so excited about being in love then that day. So to me its just "Single Awareness Day" because no other day do you feel so single. One day sure I will get to celebrate it for real but for now nothing is great about that day. It is however my moms birthday so we do celebrate that she had fun. But although we had dinner out at Mimi's Cafe it was my sister and me and not a guy. You get the picture...
5. So Wednesday I also found out my phone was broken. Simply put. Tuesday night early Wednesday it was plugged in. I unplugged it and about an hour before bed I then plugged it back in and it wouldnt charge no matter what. I tried 3 different chargers and then hoped it was the charger itself. I woke
up too early on Wed and decided to see if my sisters charger worked well it did not. So my mom said I had to take it to an at&t on Thursday. Well we did and the charger she had worked but the battery she could not test it because she had none. So mom said go to best buy to upgrade for free since we havent gotten new phones since 2006. I did get my replaced in 2009 but not the same thing as this. Best Buy had some nice phones one I was okay with. I wanted a smartphone but its $20 a month and sadly I cant get it. So we almost got it but the computer down and my sister had to work. So Friday we went back to there and got me a new phone. Its blue and its called a Pantech Pursuit. Its more oval then rectangle and it fits in my palm of my hand. I got a case for it and I am anxious to get it protected as I am worried I will drop it. Sure I miss my other phone but I am getting used to this. It still has the keyboard, it still has a touch screen. It has some cool features too. Oh and we tested my old charger on my sisters phone and it charges that one JUST FINE! Yeah I dont get it either. She will upgrade hers too she found one she likes but we dont know when that will be. It was free just $18 to activate it.
Till next week...
