What I'm Reading This Week #34
Hello you sassy beast! Ready for another flip flappin' fantastic weekend? Yes indeedy, Ally Sheedy. It's been a week of working ahead for me as I try to work on ideas for holiday posts. I know, no one is ready for Christmas but spit balling stuff is actually getting me excited for the season. I like to try to give myself the month of December off from writing new posts (except updating weekly happenings) so all I have to do is respond if needed. It lets me take a little mental break during the holidays to try to enjoy what I can then hop back into the new year hopefully rested and ready to roll. We did book our 30th anniversary trip, which is the same one we had to cancel this year and of course got travel insurance. It's just nice to have something to hopefully look forward to and it makes you go "where the heck did 4 1/2 years go?" because it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our 25th. Do people even celebrate their 30t...
It's like there are periods of time where it seems like you get nothing but expenses. But then there are times where money just kind of comes out of nowhere and this is one of those awesome times. I hope it continues, like, forever!
ReplyDeleteYes for unexpected money - we booked a trip to Disney with a travel agent and they automatically contacted Disney to take advantage of a reduced rate. I knew it was possible to do this and it's part of the reason I went through the travel agent. Not sure that is possible with cruises or hotels, but I suspect this is most common with Disney.
ReplyDeleteOne bathroom trip a night for me, and it's usually between 4 and 5:30.
It looks like Thanksgiving found you! I love hiking and seeing wild animals!
A few times I've gotten back deposits that I forgot I'd paid, once my gas company sent me a check because I'd overpaid. Few and far between though.
ReplyDeleteOn a good night I don't get up at all, but I'm usually up once sometime in the night.
Usually up once a night if I am doing the water right. Right around 2am.
ReplyDeleteMoney refunds? Hardly ever.
I've gotten refunds on my homeowner's insurance premiums in the past and that's always a nice surprise. And I've had wonderful luck with the dogs' insurance as well. When Finn had tummy issues to the tune of $600+ I paid it and got reimbursed for all of it except the $250 deductible. I was thrilled. I currently have a claim in for his dental surgery so I'm hoping they'll pay at least a portion of that. That'd be the bees knees!
ReplyDeleteAs for potty breaking in the middle of the night, I'm up multiple times. It seems like every two or three hours. This first week after surgery was really something and I think I went every hour. There must have been a lot of fluid build up in me from the procedure because it was constant. I only got up once last night though around 4am so I felt like I got some solid sleep! =o)
