Something always happens to delay me money

I'm starting to wonder if I'm being punished because I'm not at the right place or with the right person or just not making the right decisions. The lady that I've been taking care of is in the hospital.... NOT my fault! Anyways so that means I'm out of work for awhile. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I definitely need to do something!

I need to start my own job, business, etc. I just don't know how and plus advertising takes money and it's dangerous! You never know who you're going to run into, hire, or even have meetings with. Even in real estate there are so many women getting raped by a*holes because they're showing a house or the such.

Anyways, my thoughts today are to start looking into schools and get most of my stuff out of storage and possibly sell 3/4 of it so I won't have to deal with the lugging around anymore! It costs me more money to lug that stuff around and put in storage than what it's worth. I might as well sell it all, save up the money from storage costs and buy all new things when I get a place! Ugh! Okey dokey, I'm going to eat and make artichoke dip!

A beautiful idea

I don't like the idea of using people, but I totally have an awesome idea. My bf has been pestering me to go out with his sister and party. Well talking to his mom today I came up with an unbelievable idea. I am going to write a book or a large blog about going out with her because she knows all the hot spots for night life and also the vip spots in LA as well. This might just be a golden opportunity for me to explore entrepeneurship. I'm going to start this probably next week. Lots of pictures and lots of information about the type of music, best days of the week to go in, best djs, cleanliness and affordability. I need to get the list a bit bigger.

Cancellation already....

Well I was supposed to go to an appointment today for my new job but there were some hold ups. I definitely am starting to lose it! They're waiting on my 3rd reference to respond and if it's good then they're going to get me started. Well, I called them with a different reference today and hopefully that went well.

I have a huge migraine today, enough to keep me from doing anything at all even eating. I made dinner for everyone here but I couldn't even eat myself at all. I'm probably just going to wait until my boyfriend gets home and I am also going to give the home care place a call and see how the references went. If they have to wait at all, then I am just going to refer them to someone else again!

I also started using that twitter thing and I am not too sure if I like it to much. I'm starting to get followers which is weird and I don't know if I should be posting some smarter things or what. I also want to get my hair cut again. Not shorter at all just layered the way I had it when I first met my boyfriend. I am definitely working on a design still for my aunt and uncle. I have it all planned, I just need to price everything and present the details that I would like. It would be more of surprise of some sort. We'll see...

Saturdays

Today we spent the day looking for a car for my boyfriend only to come to the realization that Matt needs way more money because of his terrible credit. We don't have the money right now and now is when we need two cars because tomorrow I start my job and he also needs a car to get to his work. Terrible how these things work out. And because his car is such a pain, he wants to use my car and give me his! My car is new!!!!! I don't want his old car that he bought to fix up and believes that he's going to make so much money off of when he's done...

I'm going to keep whining because it's MY car! I'm really nervous about the whole meeting the person that I am going to be taking care of and also that I am going on the cruise with. I never have been on a cruise, let alone taking care of an elderly lady at the same time. I just don't know what to expect and how I'm going to feel on the trip. We'll see what happens. I am definitely nervous about the whole thing.

Trying to save money is way hard!

I finally start my job here in California. I don't know why my brothers or anyone else can't get a job. We moved here about 3 weeks ago and took about a week of vacation. My brothers were down here for about 8 months and didn't find a job. I think that maybe it was pure determination that helped me find a job.

I hope that all goes well when I go on that cruise here in a couple of weeks. The women that wants to have a caregiver with her on the cruise seems to be perfectly enabled. We'll see how it goes, but I am certainly thrilled to go on the cruise and get some pictures of it all. I'm totally excited.

I'm going to see about food.

Still trying to figure out what I can do to make extra $$$

I am trying to come up with an inventive idea or something of the likes so that I can start earning my own income. I have a problem with trying to come up with ideas to do things. I am going to create a list of talents that I have and maybe go off of that. Then I can start advertising or something.

The only thing at this moment that I am sure of is that I need to go to school a bit longer. Most of the things that I know for a fact that I am interested in all require school for an extensive career in.

Here's a short list that I plan on adding to in the future

Cooking
Interior design
Home staging
Hiking
Camping

(BTW the list is intended for me to keep my brain decluttered so that I can try spinning off something soon!)

Moving to California


It's been about 2 weeks since we moved our roots to California. My boyfriend and I decided that after living in Boise, Idaho for the past 6 years was enough! We couldn't take it anymore! Our jobs were depressing and the people at our work having such a large demand for sales and numbers... we're just not that big on pushing sales down customer's throats! We packed up our small 1 bedroom apartment in one day and said goodbye to our friends.


It's been rough looking for a job. My boyfriend, of course, picked up where he left off, at the same pizza delivering job that he had been doing for 7 long years. He also picked up the complaining about work where he left off. The amazing thing about this job though is he went back down the ladder to doing the deliveries instead of managing. And he's doing that with my car, which leaves me with no transportation and making life hard as heck trying to even get a job.


Although it's been hard, I did manage to find a place that I think I would like to work. It's a nice little home care agency. Unfortunately at the moment they are so busy that they've seem to forgotten all about the fact that I need to have a job ASAP!


So far what they've offered to me was to go on an Alaskan cruise to take care of a nice rich lady who basically just needs someone to make sure she doesn't wind up handicap and they also offered me a job in Malibu where I would have to live and have my car in case there's an emergency evacuation due to the infamous California fires. My biggest worry right now is how my boyfriend is going to handle it when I tell him to go and buy his own car. Don't get me wrong, or do, but it's my car and definitely NOT his.
As of right now, we've both been taking it lazy on our days off. Going to the beach, getting burnt from the unforgiving sun, went to Rockies and Dodgers game, etc. Too bad my boyfriend isn't more into taking pictures. I like to save my memories...
Until another day I guess...
