live from the couch
I am so tired. I spent all day yesterday with my family member who’s ill with cancer. She’s doing okay, but she’s dealing with the symptoms of her treatment. The hospital let her go home too early, and she wound up having to go back to the hospital. Believe it or not, that took all day yesterday. I’m trying to step up more with helping her since I’m not working right now.
In case you didn’t see it in my comments, I started the rollover process for the 401K I had with my job. It was easier than I thought it would be. First I opened a Traditional IRA account. Then, I filled out a termination form for my 401K that listed my new IRA as the beneficiary of the funds. Pretty cool.
Next on the horizon: I’m going to finish reading this book by one of my favorite authors, I’m going to finish this scarf I started knitting when I was with my family member yesterday, and I’m going to keep sending out resumes and looking for holiday party networking opportunities to attend. I keep meaning to go finish my Christmas shopping, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. There’s something about having lots of time to do something that’s helping me to drag this shopping thing out (that and indecision about that to get my dad and my honey - why are men so hard to shop for?)
