29-Day Giving Challenge

Last week, I ordered coupons from save.ca, and they arrived yesterday. So I placed them with each corresponding product in the grocery store and drugstore. It was a total of about $60 of coupons, so it felt like a good give, even if it was spread out.

Then I left a quarter on the bench by the bus.

Today was garbage day, so I replaced my upstairs neighbours' bins.

I was wiped out today - not sure why, but there's a cold going around (isn't there one going around everywhere this time of year?). So instead of pushing myself, I took a nap. I knew I couldn't be effective at anything when I felt like I was walking and thinking through sludge.

Then I went to pick up the leftovers at the coffee shop, and when I returned, my landlord's truck was in front of the house. I assume my upstairs neighbour called him for some repair, but it really freaked me out, and I wanted to hide... and I hate that feeling of wanting to hide. (I didn't wind up seeing him.) I know I have to get in touch with them, but I don't know what to tell them - I'm getting work in bits and pieces, but I don't know how long it will take me to catch up. So tonight, I'm kind of freaked out, not feeling the faith as strongly as I'd like.

Aside from the financial stuff, there's also a personal situation that I generally don't write about, but in a nutshell, it's not going very well right now, and I'm hurting from that.

Intellectually, I know things will turn around. I know everything is and will be okay. It just doesn't feel that way right now.

And I'm still feeling cold-y, so I'm going to sign off and go to bed.

I hope you all had wonderful Thursdays! Cheers!

You are doing the best you can and no one can ask more of you. I hope the negatives leave soon and you are surrounded by positives! xoxo

For not feeling up to par, you certainly gave and gave....putting coupons with the products was so thoughtful, and someone will surely benefit!  Not feeling well either physically or emotionally can take a toll....take care, I hope you get some rest and feel better tomorrow. Sending hugs your way...

i hate it when i know one thing intellectually and my feelings are telling me something different. it makes me feel like i'm at war with myself or something. i hope that your opposing factions can call a truce so you can feel more peaceful. may you wake up cold-free! angels on your bedposts :o)  Hugs, Dawn xoxo
