Sylvaa Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Catching up a bit - I pay yearly for Beachbody on Demand and, while I don't use it regularly, I use it enough to justify the cost and recommend it. One caution I will say about it is that the $99 yearly subscription is that you don't get access to the newest programs right away (it's definitely months before you can do them). They are also coming out with a new option called Bodi and I don't know how that will impact the yearly subscription going forward. Glad to hear the kitty is being taken care of and fingers crossed on the job piece! 1 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment

I hope you get a really good offer for your house and can find something decent in Atlanta.

I hope you can get a nice raise too. 19 hours ago, RES said: Sellers market everywhere I think, and she's said as much, but I have issues depending on anyone No, no, you are looking at it from the wrong angle. You are not depending on D. You are providing valuable expert services for D (and yourself) as she starts a new job. There are companies you can hire to pack your possessions and move them to a new location. They charge big bucks for their services. Likewise, there are people you can pay to stage your house for sale. You may still want some professional help, but you can save thousands of dollars by doing some of those things yourself. Use your professional analysis skills to set up a cost-benefit analysis for the two of you. Make a list of all the things that need to happen for your move and settling in a new place. Write down how much time each will take if you do it, and how much it would cost to hire out if you don't. There will likely be some things that you and D want to do yourselves (like looking at houses) and some things you want to hire out (like loading a truck with furniture). Take a look at what it will cost if you leave your job a week or two sooner. Would your time make your life better? Enough better to be worth the money? If you look at this like someone else's project, you could do the analysis in half an hour. Think of what you would tell a friend, then repeat that back to yourself. 2 Quote Level 62 Viking paladin My current challenge Battle log Link to comment

The Plan...Week 5 Cardio - I'm going to plan on and hold myself to 20 minutes on the treadmill 3-4x a week and one strength training a week: Got up on Monday and got on the treadmill, then it sold that night (I'm getting a better one after the move) Update - Post in thread three times a week: Track - Sleep (at least 7 hours a night) Food (eat when hungry, stop when full, track to be mindful): Sleep - Tracking - Extra - Rides, 5k's, events, and any other random stuff goes here: Rode on Sunday, Most of the next challenge is going to be packing up and cleaning the house, this Monday I'm going to tell my boss what is going on, I know if I were in her position I would not want to be blindsided, then I'm going up next weekend with D to meet the realtor up there and check things out while they have an open house here....I've checked out the U-Box option and that seems to be the best for what we need, we can pack them up and they will store it until we have a place to deliver it to. Here we go again... 6 Quote RES...and I want to live days worth dying for Current: RES: CUTE adjusts Spoiler Magickal, Eclectic, Goddess, Level 68 |1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|27|28|29|30|31|32|33|34|35|36|37|38|39|40|41|42|43|44|45|46|47|48|49|50|51|52|53|54|55|56|57|58|59|60|61|62|63|64|65|66|67|68|69|70|71|72| |My Character Page | Tracking Spreadsheet | My Blog | Growth happens when you care more about the well being of your future self than the comfort of your present self!
