The Lord Knows How To Set Things Up

Weeks ago, maybe even more than a month ago, I decided I wanted quarters. A LOT of them. I notice that the more money I bring with me when i go out, the more inclination I have to spend....or even needlessly spend.

Lesser denomination...less spending. I'm not taking 20-50 dollars worth of quarters to have a shopping spree with, ya know?

So getting there has taken a couple weeks, and has not been easy. Breaking down bills nowadays is hard.

I tried doing it at self-checkout to save my embarrassment (making a tiny purchase to break a larger bill) but doing it too much breaks the machine. I kinda fear I might even get fired if I keep doing it at work. In fact, it broke Target's machine down yesterday, and ate my change, and I was mysteriously late for work because it took 8 dollars in change that I waited for them to give me. 

And the bank wouldn't do a bill exchange without an account. .__.

Laundromat is the biggest helper, when I can get someone to take me.

But to come to the point.

I thought I had one intention. God had another.

Saving up my cash...limiting my spending quite a bit for a couple weeks...and saving up a LOT of quarters...ahead of the washer machine mysteriously breaking down. Several households all use one washer on one plot of land. I had two overflowing baskets worth. So at 10 a.m. ish today Grandpa kindly took me to wash my clothes. I dropped a couple socks, but it all got cleaned.

I won't even have time to dry it all. I gotta leave for work in a couple hours.

The point being though...is that God had me financially prepared well ahead of time to get my clothes washed. Pray He helps with the washer situation. In Jesus name, amen.

Last night was slow. Just Marcus and I. :) Easy shift. Today it's myself and a couple ladies, so that should be good. And tomorrow is my day off.

I love taking it all a day at a time. I worked Sunday, had a day off, and THEN had a few days in a row to work this week, and we're already at the last day. :)

I'm so accustomed to part time its hard to believe I used to work 40 hours a week at one point. I haven't done that in a couple years, I think.

This week is about 30 hours, since my boss is on vacation. But the following week I had quite a few days off, so as not to go overboard I guess, and a much needed break.

Anyway. That's the update.

- I'm slowly working on a new blurb book for the first time in a long while.

- Mild crochet break.

All glory, praise, thanks, and all things be to God on the highest forever and ever in Jesus mighty and wonderful name, amen. P.S. I lvoe you, and Jesus does too.

Ugh.

 Last night was not easy. I'll back up a bit, though. My boss not only approved my Saturday off, but she switched it to Friday morning (without me having to open the store) and offered me to come in yesterday from 5-9:45 p.m. which I did. I worked with Chris and twas' all good.  Last night I came home and finished up a crocheted doll I was working on. I got bit by a large ant that crept in and went in my pants (I had to get the pants off to find it) and several other ants after that, and a heinous large winged bug thing...whose species I'd never seen before. I recently got a handheld bug zapper and that thing worked like a beauty. I went to bed in Mom's RV around midnight with Bella. I didn't feel like dealing with bugs in my house tonight. My overactive bladder rode me to death, of course. You could sooner throw a parade than have me go one hour without the bathroom. I tried listening to bible movies and 4 a.m. came and I barely slept.  I went home and tried to sle...

Tolerable

 My title posts have not been much, lately. Thank you God, Jesus, for everything written. I'd have to think for a minute if I want to remember the major events of the past couple weeks. This thing of working with Jesus (Hey - Suse) is getting better, if 'better' means I'm being more tolerable and accepting.  I did wind up talking to Lindy about it and she said she'll talk and see if it's at least related to any illness. She told me to mentally track his bathroom trips and I did, and it didn't go any different than expected. So I told her that later. Else: I've been continuing working on my princess crochet collection. The spaghetti dinner at church went amazing and the kids had a blast. I took videos and photos. I've been working a LOT and casually doing cardio at the gym when I'm able. I bought the NLT Illustrated Study Bible and I'm already getting some use out of it. Bought bug traps and they've made live easier. Fleas are worse. Despi...

It Hasn't Been An Okay Week

Image
The other day I started my day by confessing, for the first time, my long history of abuse to a family member. Including from my aunt, God rest her soul. Brought us, back, a few bad memories. I had very few good memories of her, but she asked my forgiveness when she clearly knew she was dying, and I readily gave it. I saved over 500 new family photos, memories and a few ancestors. Even the family tree Jen out together. Below is one I found of a bunch of animals. The past week it seems I've been looking for many chances to go out and spend up my savings on stuff I don't need, despite a short pay period this month.  I went from 300 to 222 dollars. Some necessary...some not.  Last night I did something that could get me fired. I left the cash register drawer out on the legacy desk, (so awful I hesitated to write it)  We weren't closed, and though I kept it within a few feet of me, I put it down to go make a purchase at the register with Kelsey.  I felt so very horrible ...
