Monday was well... a Monday. I had such good intentions and I did get the taxes started, but realized I had not been sent all the forms by the accountant and had to run and pick up copies. So hopefully I can finish tomorrow. The dining room table is covered with the mess.
Daughter came down with the kids and we took a long walk and then she went teaching. I made cob salad for dinner and it was so good.
I was able to pay $300.00 on my bill for the month. I pulled up the card and noticed two charges one was not mine and the other was a subscription that I had cancelled a long time ago. I even called the card company and told them not to accept it. Well they waited a few months and then put the charges back on.
The young man I talked to said many of these services started doing that during covid. Now they put a 4 year stop on these companies so they can not turn around and charge you again when a charge has been stopped. How dishonest is that? Of course this charge was only $9.00 a month but still I did not notice it, so the card company is researching it and I will get a refund for the months they charged me. You really need to pay attention and I often don't. This is something I need to work on.
I did not get one call for the shop today or one client in, although I stayed busy all day. No sewing got done but if I can get the taxes turned in tomorrow, I should be able to get into the shop.
I had terrible chills last night for about two hours. I am afraid to go to bed tonight for fear of it happening again. I have extra blankets on the bed. Just in case. I swear the worst thing about RA is the night sweats and the chills. My heater/cooler does not work right. I say that now, but as soon as I have a set of joints flair the heat/cool thing won't be what I complain about. I took a really hot bath and I hope that helps keep my body temp up.
My baby chicks are growing so fast, I swear they have doubled in size. They are getting longer necks and will soon loose that little chick look and become small birds. Well they are birds so?
I was able to get rid of two plastic containers of taxes which is so nice to free up space. After this mess is done I really need to get some pictures hung and photos framed that I have been putting off since we moved in. It is time.
DO you ever put things off for months? What do you do to fight procrastination?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
Kim
I am good at putting off things I just don't like doing.
ReplyDeleteHope you got some sleep.
I did but I am still tired this evening and I think I will go to bed early!

ReplyDeleteI have a notebook that I write everything in. When a to do item has been moved to the next week two or three times I highlight it to remind myself that this needs done ASAP. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea, what happens when you get to the last page of the notebook?:)
DeleteI start a new one. One usually gets me through a year or more.
DeleteCob salad sounds good, Kim. You have to really stay on top of those credit card charges, don't you? I hope they get that taken care of asap.
ReplyDeleteSo aggravating. I love cobb salad but it is a lot of work to make.
DeleteProcrastination is stronger than I am so I learned to not fight it!
ReplyDeleteI that embroidered on a pillow please.
DeleteI should get it on something for Hubby
DeleteI had to go through my Mum's bank statements for her (she cannot see clearly now) & I was shocked to find two companies with magazine subscriptions that I had cancelled had re-started her charges again. You are right Kim- we need to be diligent & check all the time!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that so crooked? I just can't beleive they will do this.
DeleteI really do about nothing by paper check but I do like some magazines and when I get those offers/envelopes I order by check. None of my magazines have a credit card attached for that reason. I’ve texted myself what I ordered to not double order (sometimes check on bank statements is not specific magazines) as I’ve done that. Usually great offers in the mail or attached to the magazines and when they auto renew its full price! Often three years for price of one etc.
DeleteHope you are able to get some sleep tonight. Sorry about the chills; is that one of symptoms of a RA flareup? Do hope you feel better.
ReplyDeleteGlad you caught the charges on the cc bill. Thanks for the reminder to check the charges.
Hope you have a good day.
I slept much better last night, but am very tired again tonight, I will go to bed early.
DeleteI check my bank and credit card statements daily. Easy to do as they are on MY PHONE.
