I get a natural high checking my energy bill. Lol. My next bill is projected to be about $52. Wow 😮 is all I could say. If I can get that bill down to $52 that would be awesome!
Yesterday I did not have one soda, I also only bought what was on my list, while grocery shopping; in addition , I stuck to plans to not donate money an event I had attended. I always feel guilty but I didn’t budget for something like this, so it was a no for me.
Checked my Murphy points and I have about 720 points, that’s .72 cents off gas per gallon. I’m waiting to get to 1,000 points, that will give me a buck off each gallon.
Family news
I realized that the way my mother speaks is simply by yelling, all weekend when she called she was screaming, so much so, it gave me a headache. I don’t think it’s intentional, just believe that, that is all she knows 🙄🤦🏽♀️
SO stop by in tears, I just listened didn’t respond. I’d told him awhile ago to seek counseling so it’s up to him. He needs to come up with a ton of cash by tomorrow or the bank will take the mom’s car. He called his siblings for help, but no one offered to chip in. I did tell him he can’t wait for an offer, he needs to ask.
If it was me I’d let the car go. She shouldn’t be driving anyway, and he can’t afford it. One thing he did say was, he got himself in this mess. I’d say he sure did, if he refuse to take things over because he fears hurting the mom’s feelings, well he’s right where he wants to be. He’s a fool

I have had many situations with people that continue the same pattern and expect different results. If i had a nickle for everyone who said they "know" and they will change but never do i would be very wealthy.
For a big payment or else situation they must have missed more then a couple payments i never understand why some wait until it is a last ditch effort to address a problem.i honestly think this type just are addicted to Drama.

Glad you are doing well as far the power bill.
Every store we go to is asking us to donate money for this and that and all are worthy charities, but...we already donate to charities and I feel badly about refusing these others, but one can only do so much. Same with all the phone calls and mailings from charities wanting donations.

I have a few charities that I support, and I don’t feel badly saying ‘no’ to the requests at grocery stores, etc. I usually say ‘not today, thanks’ which seems somehow kinder to me. I know there aren’t tax deductions for a lot anymore, but I still like to be able to add up charitable donations at the end of the year, and the dollar here, dollar there seems like unaccountable money to me.
One thing I find interesting in these blogs (and anywhere online) is that people have patterns - some are happy no matter what. Some are in a mess no matter what. Some feel like they can solve their own problems. Some always feel like ‘it’s not their fault’. You are someone, IMO, who constantly strives to do better, work harder, give more, live a full life. I admire your tenacity.
