My credit is pretty good and it qualifies me for some good interest rates and loans but that also means that credit card companies are now sending me 'you're pre-qualified for up to $1000!' cards. Yes it's very tempting to have 'money' to spend, especially with my car needing a good 200k mile tune up and an oil change right now. I want to pay down my current sucky card (only $200 limit) and close that out before I get another one. One card even said 'as a welcome back' in other words it's a card I had before that went behind and then finally was able to pay it off and close it. My current card I'm using for paying my cell phone bill which I forgot changing over so that's a recurring charge I need to keep track of.
So being a very good girl and tossing them in the trash for now. Jon's never had a credit card from what I understand and a while ago I had to explain to him that if he gets a credit card it will bump his credit rating. I also had to explain about what to look for on a card, interest rate, fees, penalties and all that. He brings in an application he got in the mail for one and said, 'is this a good one?' He is not the least interested in getting one so I am not going to push it.
We discovered a nice little walking park in Santee, was looking for the library but found the park instead. Libraries were giving out free garden seeds for Earth day so wanted to score some but found the park and I'm good with that.
A lot of native plants, cement and fenced path, very well kept and had a good size dog park and a disk golf course as well. Blustery day so walking in the sun wasn't bad. Not going to take that one in the middle of summer for sure as there was no shade at all on the path. Nice relaxing day with wonderful weather.
Not looking at house listings for a while because I need to focus on surviving right now and finding ways of getting more income. Will be calling the local SS office on Monday because, as far as I know, I didn't get a call. I also have an early doctor appointment for another check up on my stats for diabetes and cholesteral and all that. Been trying to be a good girl but it's hard. I am eating more salad, drinking less soda and fruit juice, trying to get more exercise and yada yada.
Next month I can apply again for unemployment and double checked to make sure ss doesn't conflict and it doesn't either way so that's good. The extra money will be greatly needed, and before that obviously I need to get my paperwork in order and numbers aligned..it'll be easier than previous attempts since I haven't had a job in almost a year. That will likely take an additional month to kick in so still that waiting game but I know better days are coming and have to be patient. Someone once said I had the patience of a saint. Oh not anymore my friends... I know my time is even more limited now for living longer and want to get a few things done before that happens.
It's a beautiful day, need to do a small grocery run then homemade hamburgers for lunch.
