2018

2017 is certainly ending with a bang.

My father in law is in the hospital with the flu and pneumonia. This is serious since he already has lung issues as well as heart problems.  He’s asking my husband to bring him cigarettes. The man needs to quit once and for ask and he’s already in the hospital.

Not to mention, hubby is very sick. He’s coughing and dizzy and his mom asked him to come over tonight to get gas in his dad’s truck because she can’t get the has cap open. He left about a half hour ago.

Don’t they get that he’s sick? My daughter is upstairs sleeping as she’s sick with more than likely the same thing. I’m taking her to the doctor tomorrow because she’s been coughing for a while.

It’s me and the cats tonight and TV. I’m never excited about a new year but nights like this make me winder what might happen next. I did lose a client yesterday. My day job normally slows down after mid December but the tax change that involved property taxes screwed me. We’ve had a baby tax season number two and I’ve been tired and didn’t get a project done. I could have never predicted this and there’s not much I can do but I’m disappointed. I did take a lot of time off from writing in December as it was.

I’m focusing on finances in 2018. I’m tackling the late credit cards and it’s nice to see that they’re willing to work with you. I’m using a couple of budgeting apps to help with money. I’m going to work and earn as much as i can without burning out.

As busy as the office is, it’s my escape. I get to listen to my podcasts, audible books (which I love since I don’t read nearly as much as I did before. Audible had a new romance package that I’m crazy about. It’s research, you know!), music and just zone out in general. It’s my peace.

Tomorrow i need to buy my cats food. I blew that off today taking a nap in my bed. With hubby coughing, I’ve been sleeping everywhere but there. It’s not the most comfortable option.

I want him home and resting again. I want to text his mom and tell her she’s insane for having him come over but I’m sure that she’ll see that on her own.

Tomorrow is just a day… the beginning of a new year. It does not set the pace for the other 364 days. I just want things to be normal again, whatever that is.

Happy New Year. I hope that 2018 is good to all of you.
