I find it very hard to stay on a budget I have created for myself. This stupid budget sheet I started couple of years ago didn’t even get to be implemented! Most definitely I need some budgeting tip to help me how to use my money wisely within my means! I really suck at this, especially in our situation now, I am trying without an actual budget but it is not working. Major failure.  I’m a spendthrift, how to change that behavior  will have to take some time…hopefully soon!!

So what do you do when you spouse is putting on pounds? DB is putting the extra pounds from snacking in between meals! I am glad I don’t anymore for many, many years. DB, however, said he snack out of boredom. I understand that. I told him I can even lift him up with his “handles”! I’m bad, ain’t I? But it’s our joke….we have good sense of humor to humor each other in these tough times. I told him if he so need to subdue his appetite, he might have to try those appetite suppresant pills. I told him back when I was a teenager I would buy Twenth Century Fat Burner pills….take them like downing candies! Those pills worked but definitely screwed up sleeping. So back to DB, I said if he’s bored of doing the same thing in the house, he should sign up doing reviews like weight loss pill reviews, shopping, car, etc. That will keep him busy for a bit plus he might get some kind of income for himself, too.   If only he will proceed to do what I had told him…..

It’s the time of the year for me to make and appointment with my regular doctor for an annual exam. Honestly I don’t want to since every year is the same results and I just had my BP checked last month when I was in the clinic for my cold. BP and oxygen level were perfect. I had my blood work done last year, results were very good, too. I don’t need to get my bloodwork done again till next year…it’s a every two years thingy till I reach a certain age, or if the tests come back not good, then it will be yearly. The only thing I need to see a doctor for is a specialist for my joint pain, the kness to be more precised.  I think they need to be replaced!  Nah, I’m kidding!!  The doc needs to look at them and go from there if I need PT or what needs to be done.  I bought knee supports for them, but it’s not helping…I still think i over used it every day.  DB is pressuring me to get my yearly annual in….coz he already had his done and it’s my turn now.

The weekend is approaching…yes, been waiting for it since Monday. I know it’s so sad that I’m actually wishing my life away, but I totally can’t help it. anyways, this weekend I got myself an appointment to get a hair cut and also if time permits, a facial too. It’s been 5 months since I last had my hair cut. Facial wise, it’s a hit and miss thing….depending on how much extra buckaroos I have left for that week. I know it’s good to go at least once a month facial in as my friend said is a good acne solution for those who are prone to acnes.  Since my zits are pretty much under control now….yeah, had acne problem when I’m an adult, not during my teenage days, I didn’t really bother with the facial thing.  The price per facial is $45 which I think is not too bad of a deal.  Haircut alone without the facial is $20 and if it’s together with the facial – all in one session, than the price of haircut is $15 and sometimes she charges even less.  So I am really looking forward to Saturday.

The robins are out and about in our yard. I saw a couple of them last weekend….it’s actually nice to see the robins out and the good old brown chickedies (not sure the name of it) but they are busy chirping everyday. The temperature for the past couple of weeks shot up to the upper 30′s and lower 40′s. Snow is melting pretty quickly during the day and then it freezes during the night…..so that’s good….will slow down the potential of flooding. The snow on the trails are slowly melting….my form of quick weight loss is slowly taking away from me!!!  Darn….I really love walking the snow packed snow trails, but oh well, can’t have it all the time!  At least I can see what grass looks like  again!
