Give Me Back My Five Bucks

I have too much “stuff.” I need to declutter – give things away, sell things – do whatever it takes. But lately I’ve been feeling weighed down. And this is after only bringing “the essentials” with me when I moved to Vancouver! What I think I’m going to do is slowly itemize what I own, and then figure out what I use, and what I can get rid of. Then, I’ll see what I can sell on Craigslist, eBay, consignment stores, etc, and give the rest away to goodwill. I don’t have the time or energy to list and monitor … Continue reading →

So far this month I’ve made about $100 US (about $125 CAD) extra from doing sponsored posts, and an additional $90 working at the PT job. That’s not bad. I’ve really limited the amount of PPP opps I’ve been taking … especially because I see they’re offering opps for $0.50 now (are you serious!?), and that’s just not worth my time. I remember back in the day, there’d be $20-25 opps. And now I’m lucky if I can scoop something around $10. Ick! I see not many other people are doing PPP opps anymore. I wonder if it’s because of … Continue reading →

I really want to get a part-time job. I know what you’re thinking – I’ve talked about getting a PT job before, and that never resulted in anything. Plus, I already have a PT job. And that’s true. But it only brings in between $45-80 per shift. And since I only work once or twice per month, that money is eaten up by the cost it takes to travel there. So the PT job I have really doesn’t bring in any income that I can see. And, it’s coming to an end as of April. Or May. I want a … Continue reading →

Yesterday after work I went to my old job to help them with the website. It only took about an hour, but I’ll have to go in again near the end of the month to help them out a bit more. Basically, I’m teaching two girls (who have no prior website knowledge) how to update the most ridiculously confusing and poorly organized website I’ve ever seen. It’s going to take a while for them to figure it out, and I think I’ll be spending more time there than I originally planned. That also means that I might have to postpone … Continue reading →

Today was a really relaxing day. BF and I slept in late, and then he made me a yummy breakfast (lunch). In the afternoon, we went for a walk to Crystal Falls. It was really nice and I stuffed my face full of huckleberries and salmonberries that were growing along the trail. Then this evening, we came back to my house for dinner and a movie. We made a conscious effort not to dine out at all this weekend. I won’t see him again until tomorrow evening, and I don’t anticipate even leaving my house tomorrow, so I’m sure that … Continue reading →
