Been thinking a lot about my goals and things.
Always good to keep track of progress.
I found a list of sites that are free (not sure if all of them are.)
So far I've only tried one of them. It's called Mint.com
It helps you track your finances and budget.
I'm going to start fresh next month and see how it goes.
It links to your bank so that you can see where you are spending and saving.
It lists all your transactions and the transactions interact with the budget thing.
It's pretty neat, actually. I like it and I'll probably use it more.
It has an app so people can use it on their phones, too.
I haven't used my cell much at all for a long time.
I just use my home phone. Landlines are actually getting kind of expensive.
I don't like cellphones. There are studies showing that they leak radiation.
There's a documentary called Wi-Fried. It's about wi-fi, and cellphones.
If what they are saying is true, it's pretty freakin' scary.
Another thing I find scary is the addiction to these devices.
I was watching a video the other day about crimes committed by kids.
One teen girl shot her own father in the chest with a cross-bow
because he took away her cellphone. Insanity!
Then she wouldn't let him use the phone to call for help
so he had to crawl to a neighbour's house.
This sh*t is really happening! Over cellphones!
This is the reality of modern technology in our society.
I'm happy not to be addicted to texting or whatever.
Bad enough I use my computer as much as I do.
I don't need a mobile device to be on all day every day.
As it is, I get headaches when I'm online sometimes.
I'm pretty sure its from wi-fi. It gets hard to 'unplug' sometimes.
As much as I hate to say it, it's true.
I do have my hobbies, but most of the time I'm watching something
online while I'm knitting or crocheting.
I read before bed, but an actual book. So at least I give my brain a rest.
And I have been doing my chores, but rewarding myself with episodes
on my breaks after a chore is completed.
One thing I need to get on top of is organizing. Which is in itself not hard.
The hard part is finding a place for everything.
I've got all my movies in one place,
all my tapes and cd's in one place (yes, I still have cassettes.)
I have most of my wool in one place.
I have a place for my needles and hooks.
I have a place for my books.
I guess what is still left to organize are all my papers.
Which will likely happen tomorrow and over the next few days.
I've already sorted them all so there's that.
But now I have to find a place for the piles I made.
I have to get all my poems together in a box. Things like that.
I got all my photos together in my filing cabinet.
I have a box for my most precious items.
My computer stuff is in my bedroom closet. Old computers etc.
I'm just wondering what my boyfriend will think when he sees my stash.
My wool "stash" is immense. Insane, actually.
But it's a hobby. Sort of an addictive hobby. It helps with stress.
If I ever start teaching knitting/crochet, I can use it for my 'classes.'
It's something I thought about doing for a long time now,
but to teach, I need students and nobody has shown an interest in learning.
I taught my mother how to make squares. She's working on a blanket.
I'm joining the squares for her.
She wants to finish it before I teach her how to make other things.
I mostly make hats. But I make all kinds of things.
What I'd really like to do is start selling some of my things.
I've started a web store thing, but only sold one hat.
I'd like to sell some of my photography, too, but that isn't going anywhere.
At least I have my web store and my gallery set up, just in case.
Never know, just not expecting much to come of it.
I guess it's just to put myself out there more and see what happens.
