Hey, Miss J!

I feel like I’ve taken like 13 steps backwards. I’m struggling to balance bills, but to keep my house in order and clean, I have to purchase supplies.

I’m working overtime to try and organize the basement. There are things that need to leave the house. I’ve been told to hang on to these typewriters. Out of three, I only want to keep one of them, which is my own.

If I give it a few more months, I’ll probably toss it too.

Time will tell.

I have to do my bill balancing on Wednesday or Thursday… and I’m angry because my car insurance went up yet again! In January 2023, it was $132 rounded up. Then went to $150 rounded up. I just got my newest bill… and now I have to pay $170 rounded up.

I don’t get it… Food goes up, bills go up. Income stays nearly the same or goes up $50 a year, which puts my state health insurance at risk.

I’m spending so much time feeling disoriented and dizzy after dealing with medication, doctor’s appointments, scheduling transportation… and keeping tabs on it all.

Adding in the cleaning today has my brain feeling more than a little bit foggy.

I have to scramble to get what I need to get done right now… done, and then get my sleep in. I managed to squeeze in my medication for tonight, and I’m angry about it.

“How on earth do you track it all?” … in reference to the doses, times and frequency.

Pill boxes and alarms on my phone.
