So much going on and in a way nothing at all. Things take time, and some things are coming up or could be coming up but taking their sweet little time to get here. One thing is that our basement is finally going to be fixed!!! YAHOO. That means that this summer when it rains, no more leaks. I can finally put the couch down of my Tupperware containers that are holding books and other things from the basement living room. YAHOO again. I can make it livable and functional again. I can perhaps have this feeling of overwhelming clutter taking away once things get organized again. They are starting on the leak in the laundry room. This leak has been there for a long time, started off as a small leak years ago, that well when it did leak would go right to the drain anyways so honestly not really a big big deal. However; this past year this little leak turned into a huge leak. Add the fact that the cold room, (just off of the basement living room) decided it was its turn to leak this year. Two massive leaks, I lost a lot of stuff, got rid of a lot of stuff and for the most part put everything up on Tupperware containers.
That is the first big thing, second, Mom is finally getting the surgery on her knee. YAHOO again. Nearly three years it took to get in to see the specialist and now finally they told her they would do it in June or July. That is great news!. Dad seems to be doing a bit better, although moody as ever. Nothing new there, but this is just as bad as it once was. Can't talk to him, he is a grumpy and short with people. I wanted to discuss something with him but honestly I think I am just going to shrug it off as its not going to happen.
I got in to see Dr. Toy, he is the one who is going to or may be doing my surgery for the extra skin removal. I have two choices, and after doing the pros and cons of it, I want to go with one of the options, the main issue is the cost. Now I have many ways to look at covering for it; I do have some insurance provided by my work (my flex dollars). The whole thing should cost about 6000 dollars plus tax. Now that isn't horrible, I can carry over it on my flex dollars for two years. It's going to make things tight for a little bit but waiting on tax return to see if management, I mean due to having cashed in my rrsps and that want to make sure I don't owe and can pay my insurance this year. So basically a waiting game.
I need to see what I can do, and save up for a few things. Some plans would need to be put on hold but that is part of life right?
I have lately been thinking about the little things that drive me crazy, or people who rub me the wrong way. I made the decision for those people who just really get on my nerves to let it pounce off of me. I just don't care and I don't care. It sounds sad to say but these people are digging their own "graves" so to speak. If they want to go and get an IPHONE and then complain about not having any money to move because they hate where they live. Not my problem, that 200 to 300 dollars you spent on that phone could have gone towards that move you want. Let alone hey let's make enemies out of the people who do drive and could move you. Good luck with trying to get that now.
I realized if I have the surgery in Sept (17) if things go as planned . . . then I need to work on losing more weight to make it even more beneficial. Make the surgery people tell me is a rather tough one really fully worth it all. That and needing to save means I need to sit down, take a look at everything and figure out where to cut back and what to work with. I don't always buy Timmy's but do I really need to stop that morning for one? No, that is what three dollars I could have saved instead of getting the french vanilla or ICE Cap. That is the first step in the line of getting on track. I also started looking for other ways to save money. For example, I do chores at home to lower my rent. I started to more chores to help out with that. Anyways to save money. I am not looking to be cheap but pull my expenses and seeing where I stand. Also going to Vegas but going to watch my spending. Nothing foolish. The changes have started
