My birthday ramble bamble

Yesterday I turned 48. Having a birthday right after Thanksgiving, Christmas, NYE and the first week everyone going back to work after the holidays is just dumb. 🙅‍♀️ Can’t really change the day I was born though. 😂

I went to work and everything seemed like a chore. I cleaned my two houses for the day, did errands and came home. Grabbed my coffee, snack and fleece blanket. I just felt so tired. I’ve owned my own cleaning business for a very long time and my body is starting to react as I get older. I have an on and off sciatic nerve issue in the lower back. It comes and goes and is bothering me currently. For a continuous month my right arm I use to scrub everything has been aching with sharp pains at times. I’m sure it’s tendentious from 15 years of using that arm heavy. Trying to use left arm more in hopes to get my right arm better but that’s a chore in itself. I can’t even sleep on my right side without waking up in pain. Not going to the doctor as we pay out the ass for shit insurance. I can’t afford a doctor visit bill with possible X-rays and such only to tell me to rest my arm.

So enough whining however I think that’s why I was just tired and blah yesterday. I’m tired of dealing with a constant achy arm. In the future I want to change jobs but right now I’m stuck. We only have 2 cars and a child that wants/needs an after school/weekend job. We live in the country so I will share my car with her. I start cleaning as early as 8am so am usually done by 4pm. This leaves her time for an evening job and weekend hours. I don’t normally work weekends and when I do in the summer maybe she will have some money saved for a vehicle or I can even take her to work on a weekend and pick her up when I need the car also. My husband works long hours so he is unable to share our other vehicle.

So with enough rambling again I’ll end this off with I had a good birthday. Hubby brought home pizza and I kept the couch warm after work. My youngest is a senior and plans of going to college. In the future it will be just me to worry about and I plan on changing jobs. Not sure what to though. I thought about now taking some online classes but not sure where to start. A business class or maybe nursing? I love to take care of people. Who knows what that would cost though. Right now we are not in a financial place to take on any more debt.

I’ll keep thinking on that and one thing I am proud of I did not drink on my birthday! ( frick yeah!! 🎉 ) ( I took your saying, Dwight! 😉 ) This is the first year in years that I haven’t. I did dry January last year and did have some drinks on just my birthday. I didn’t even care to have them yesterday. I like where I’m at and heading. ☺️

Have a kick ass day! I’m almost done my second cup of ☕️ and ready to make sure I have a mentally better day than yesterday. ✔️
