Oh, and surprise, surprise, surprise ... guess who wasted her $2.00 in quarters. All I want is enough to pay off my "bad debt" and a decent chunk of my "good debt" I'm sick of worrying about when what is going to get shut off or repossessed...
Evening babble: I looked through the catalogue I got from National American University and found several different Business Administration courses, one with emphasis on Management, another with emphasis on pre-law. Both could lead to advancement opportunities within either RCIS or Wells Fargo, something to think about anyway.
Here's an example of how scattered my thoughts have been today. Both dogs needed bigger collars, so I scraped together some cash and Scott and I headed into Sioux Falls on a collar buying expedition. While in PetCo, Scott fell in love with the ferrets (who would have guessed?), but this time I didn't get the pleading puppy dog eyes "Can I have one?". After we left I found out that it was because a guy had come into the store with a wolf mix and Scott decided that he would give up on the ferret if he could have a wolf instead ... and I said "Sure". We talked about wolves during the drive home, but I found my thoughts drifting to having to collect my pee tomorrow, then about how long it was going to take me to wake up after surgery, then I started thinking about the deductible I am going to get stuck paying .. OH, I have $2.00 in quarters, I should buy a couple of lottery tickets, I mean the chances of getting Thyroid Cancer are pretty slim, so maybe I will have the same luck with the lottery? We stopped at the convenience store, I went in to get the lottery tickets and noticed a "Now hiring Part Time help" sign on the door and thought, "Hey, I used to work here, I know I can do this job and I really need the extra money right now. I should apply" so I bought the lottery tickets and picked up an application. We got home, I walked into the kitchen and wondered what I had been thinking. I'm scheduled to have surgery in a touch over two weeks and don't know how long the recovery will take, why would I want to start a part time job now?
Scott laughed and told me I am having a mid-life crisis......
On a different note, Elton came and picked up the Coca Cola refrigerator that Brad gave him a number of year ago, but left here because he didn't have room when he moved. While I have room for it, I have not used it in over a year and just couldn't see having it taking up space in my basement and felt it only right to ask him what he wanted done with it ... so anyway, he and Doug came and picked it up this afternoon. I didn't expect to feel sad, but I do. Seeing Elton and Doug brought back waves of nostalgia that I don't think I was prepared for.
There are so many different emotions whirling around in my heart and brain right now, I'm not sure which end is up.
Early morning babble: I looked into some online courses for IT-Webmaster/Web Design. I love doing this kind of thing, but don't know that I have the patience to endure the 4 years of classes that most companies seem to require today (and let us not forget tuition costs and having to repay a rather substantial student loan). You know what's amazing to me? I had NO desire to work in the insurance industry at all and now I've been working in crop insurance for the past 16 years! I've learned so much and become so specialized that I'm just not sure I have the capacity to learn something else, especially at 38.
