This has been a surprisingly lovely Sunday. I’m sick and have been for a few days. It’s just a cold but it’s sapping my energy. I went to bed yesterday after my son’s games. My son has three more today (I’m typing in the car as we go to the second one). and I’m already looking forward to the laying down I will do later on.
My house really needs a deep cleaning. It’s just gotten beyond me. It’s an old house. I sweep and mop and scrub and dust but I think it would be so amazing to have it really really clean. Doing a full cleaning like that costs hundreds though. I should have done it when I was making money.
Didn’t Plan Well
I’m really regretting not looking for more colleges for my son that were in driving distance. Even 10 hours is doable. Now I have to pay hundreds for us to fly out for one of the freshman days. I want to do and am excited to see the campus again — especially with just me and him or me and him and my stepdaughter who lives out there.
I’m glad my husband won’t be able to make it. I feel like he was pushing our son toward this school because — despite wanting to move away from that part of the country— he wants to go back now. He hasn’t embraced where we live and is basically lazy. So give him a condo where he doesn’t have to do any upkeep or maintenance and he will love life.
He is good at sitting around watching videos or reading. He is not good at being a homeowner.
I have a lot of random things to do this week, and they are all random things. One of the biggest is to write a senior letter to my son. I wish I just sat down one day to write anything because then I could be editing it this week. Ohmywow my son has less than 2 weeks of high school left. I’m so glad his high school ended in such a high note given it started out so crappy with Covid.
Now, I just need to get my mind around him going to college so far away. At the same time, I have to figure out my work stuff. If only my husband would get a job to take the bite out of these upcoming expenses. My websites are plugging along and for sure I’m keeping them because they are still generating income.
And if I can find a developer to fix some issues — I thought I had one and now he is ghosting me — that would be great. I’m mad about this developer because he was sort of pitching me the idea of working on my larger site on a commission basis. My husband was not a fan of the idea. If only this guy would have fixed a few things that we paid him to do so that we could start working together but he blew it. I’m so upset.
Now we are here, and I must go into my son’s games. He’s been playing great!
