Last night I went to bed around 10pm and tossed and turned
till 12am. The night before was much the
same. I need to work on building better
sleeping habits. There was a time when I
was able to go to bed when I wanted to.
I’ve decided to start doing something I used to do for years
but had stopped a while ago. That is,
make a list of things I want to accomplish during the day. Of course, not everything always gets
done. Other priorities get in the way
and some tasks fall by the wayside.
Last night, I didn’t plan on having to go by the store or
help cook diner. Not that I minded doing
those things (they were nice) but they didn’t fit in with my overall
plans. Still, I was able tick off the
most important items on my to-do list and that’s what’s important.
I re-setup my old diet tracker and have gotten my old
budgeting software up and running. I’m
making a deal with myself to update them both daily for at least a month and then see
where it goes from there. At any rate, I’m
now more informed about my life than I was a day ago and that will help guide
me in making better decisions.
One of those decisions which doesn’t fit in well with my
overall goal of saving money is a tool I need for the house. Very soon, I’m going to need an air
compressor. Dana got me gift cards to
Lowes for Christmas but they will only cover half of the cost. I could wait, but there’s a good sale right
now and I’m afraid that it will go away before I’m able to take advantage of
it.
I’m going to sit on this decision until Friday and see where
I will land on it. I’m thinking I will
go ahead and buy it but anything could happen in 24 hours. The sale could go away or we could have other
expenses which I’m not anticipating.
At any rate, I hate spending extra money so soon into the
New Year but this is truly something I will likely need within the next month
or sooner and it’s now marked down by $100.
Difficult to know what’s the right thing to do here.
