I felt I needed to post something. Lately I have not had any one reason to post my thoughts. It has been more of the same, just getting to the next day, trying to keep up with the routine to give my self a reason to get up the next day.
I will say I have been sticking to my plans to pay down some of my debt, and not make any major purchases unless needed. So with nothing to buy, and nowhere to go, I have been paying down what I owe.
The attempt at the theft of my identity, specifically my unemployment claim that I did not make, fortunately failed, and allowed me to put monitoring in place and with that I get alerts when my credit score improves.. so far so good. It has been climbing a little every month. I may need to look at refinancing some of my higher interest loans, because the interest rates are low. If I could knock a few hundred dollars of my monthly bills, I could make a few of them disappear. I have paid off a few in the past year, and reduced a few to manageable payments.. I may make the 5 year financial plan work, maybe even early.
Of course, there are things I could buy, maybe a truck, some pricey home improvements to increase the value and function of my home. Or as I am.. just wait a while longer. We will see.
Personally, I am still very separated from any friends, I dont visit anyone any more, it just stopped. I dont have daily texts or messages from anyone, just emails from people looking to get stuff fixed.
That in itself is good, the stuff I an working on has increased, I am fairly busy with that. The satisfaction of fixing, or improving this stuff, does my brain good. I know I am using the skills I have learned to fix stuff, and most people will pay me a little to do that. The nice thing is it is different from what I do at my work, so it is therapy for me and it does keep my skills sharp.
My road trip that was postponed from last year, got postponed again to next year..L still does not trust going out to eat or traveling anywhere. So that part of my life is still on hold. Other than a day trip once a week in the car, that is the current extent of my recreational driving. That used to be one of my sanity outlets.. Being able to get in the car and drive to a new destination and see new things. Now I am sticking within a 100mi radius of home base.. sometimes a bit further.. sometimes not at all.
Tomorrow is my chore day, I already have the laundry done, but I also have some car maintenance to do, if it is a bit warm.. and I should vacuum the house. and of course, I have a couple radios to fix..
So I guess not much to say after all..
