Woo money! And bills paid off in full for a change...say what?

-
Finally received some money through the virus funding thingy, and promptly paid my internet bill in full and made a payment on my electrical. I'm very glad that I don't have to deal with a separate heating bill...sometimes having electrical heat isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I've got it set up so that my government payments go directly to my refillable credit card, and from there I can transfer money to my bank account. I did exactly this for a couple of reasons, one of which is to cover any payments I've got set to come out of my bank account and another reason is so that I could make the payment on my electric bill because for whatever reason they won't permit payments made from refillable credit cards. Oh well, such is life.

I'm trying hard not to let the remaining funds on my card burn a hole in my pocket. I'm not sure when the next payment will hit my account, and I know I don't want to blow through it all in the event that something major comes up. It's just so hard to refrain from some serious retail therapy right now...*sigh* Perhaps some minor retail therapy won't be a bad idea...there are so many things I've put off because I have needed to hold onto the bit of money I had left over from my final paycheque.

Cleaning and organizing has tapered off over the past couple of days. I just don't have the energy to do much right now. I'm maintaining what I have already cleaned though, so there's that. I also started going through my pile of laundry and gotten that started early this afternoon. I have a lot more laundry to go through but I'm not in a huge rush at this point, which I think is understandable under the circumstances.

I did manage to get out to shop yesterday and hopefully have enough food to tide us over for another week. I managed to get to the stores I needed to before lineups started happening, thankfully. I have little to no patience for lines right now, although I would have endured it regardless and bit my tongue when people started bitching about how shitty everything is. Yes, I get it, things really ARE shitty for a lot of people right now, myself included, but to have to hear it everywhere just isn't helping the situation at all.

The last I heard from work is that we *may* open for June 1 as we actually do have some reservations still booked for June. That can change, of course, so I'm just going to make sure that I've got a couple outfits for work set aside for the eventuality that I get called back sooner rather than later. Otherwise, I'm mostly going to stay put for as long as I can and be grateful that my kid is still able to work from home.

For now I'm going to dive into one of my many video games or do some online window shopping...I could use a new computer...

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
