Day 1 of the Rest of My Life in The Adventures of Sugarbear and Cupcake

So today was a pretty good day. I woke up tired, but in a good mood, and I was actually productive! I cleaned the kitchen, didn’t overeat, and I actually did workout video. Granted, it was one of the easiest ones I could do, but I gotta start somewhere. I did a Walk Away the Pounds 1 Mile video. Gosh I’m out of shape. I used to be able to do the 4 mile video confidently, and now I’m breaking a sweat thinking 1 mile is good enough for now. But hey, I’ll get back to where I used to be and even better than that. I have 3 dogs I’m watching (not including Jack) and I had one for 1/2 a day of doggie daycare. Fortunately they have all been really well behaved. One is going home tomorrow morning and 2 more are coming to stay. It’s going to be a full house this Thanksgiving! But that’s a good thing. I did have conversations with 3 new people today (the UPS driver I said “hi” to when he delivered our boxes of XS energy drinks, and the 2 dog owners who dropped off their dogs today). Unfortunately I didn’t really have time to go out and find more people to say “Hi” to, but I’ll make up for it tomorrow. I’ve got to go to the grocery store anyway. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of people there to talk to. I did take a longer nap than I wanted to today, but I still got stuff done. Hopefully I’ll go to bed earlier than 2:00 in the morning tonight. I have to drive my boyfriend to and from work (he’s a CNA doing homecare). He works mornings and evenings. At least it’s not overnight anymore. Just got home now actually. I used to manage a dental office by the way. Well, I only managed it for a few months. I worked for the company for about 5-6 years as a receptionist. I hated it. Now I work for Aflac with my boyfriend, I petsit, and work our online business. I like making my own schedule but I need to put a lot more effort into the other ones aside from the pet sitting. I think we’re figuring it out though. Cause if we put in the work now, we will have the money and time to live the way we want to live and be able to take care of our families. That’s the goal anyway. It’s been a struggle since I quit the dentist office, but things are starting to look up. At least financially a little better. We’ve had our water, electricity and heat cut off since then, but we’re finally caught up and I’m making payments on my riciculous credit card debt (a story for another time). We were actually asking each other how in the world we’ve been able to make it this long financially getting by and all I could say was God. Cause the money always seemed to show up just when we needed it most. We had to get creative when our utilities got cut off, but we made it work. And we certainly couldn’t have done it on our own. At least that’s my opinion. So tomorrow’s a busy day (and we’ve got a meeting tomorrow night too). But things are looking up and for that I am grateful. We just paid our rent (we rent from my parents and pay less than the place is worth, especially for the area we’re in). And we still have money left over for groceries and to pay our water bill! Huzzah! Anyway, until tomorrow!
