New Survey Sites Page

Leave a comment

I’ve been doing some rearranging, and thought that I would move the survey section to it’s own page.

There are several apps and sites that will pay you to take their surveys. A lot of them are very time consuming, and don’t pay very well. I have done several of them, and gave up quickly. I have a short attention span, get confused easily, and forget. So surveys aren’t the best for me. I have read about lots of people having a ton of success, so please do not let me discourage you. I hope to focus on this a lot more now.

On the new Survey Sites page, you will find the ones that I have been able to manage so far. I’ve made about $500 with them, and I’m currently testing a few others. Try some out with my referral links so that we both may receive an added bonus. Thanks!

I Just Wonder

1 Comment

I’m currently updating things again. I wonder if anyone ever notices. Or if they get irritated when I move something. I change things a lot, but who is really paying that much attention. Whenever I’m able to, I kind of just constantly try to improve, update, add content, and more. Then I sit back, hoping and wondering if anyone is out there watching.

I know I could do more with my site if I focused more, but I honestly have a lot on my plate that I should be more focused on. I feel like this is my outlet, where I can express myself to an extent. With that, I also feel selfish when I’m working on it, or writing a post. But then, later, when I see my stats, it makes me feel like I was actually being productive. That makes me happy.

But, then I get nervous. I wonder if everything looks okay. Does my site make sense? Did they find anything helpful? Will they return? I get inspired to write, but I want it to be valuable or interesting content. I then realize I haven’t written a post in a while and wonder if people think my site isn’t active or current. I panic and wonder what I should write about. My mind races, and goes blank. I can’t think straight. My anxiety takes over.

Sometimes, I’ll just post about something already on my site. In most cases, I write nothing. It takes a lot in me to not draft a post, and hit that publish button. When I do, I wonder what anyone thinks about what I had to say, when I finally said it. It’s not like I’m even controversial or anything. I just always wonder and worry.

A lot of times, I will then get side tracked with something else. This gets put on the back burner, and I wonder if anyone is looking forward to updates.

Dream Status

Leave a comment

So, I started the lucid dreaming classes. I’ve been writing down my dreams on a few days. I should be doing it daily, but I seem to get lazy about it.

This is what I’ve gathered so far. I often dream about having several pets, and they seem to scatter and get loose. I also often get stuck in walls with stairs, locked doors, and small parts that I can’t fit through. I don’t start off there. I’m going along my way, doing whatever I’m doing in my dream, then all of a sudden, I’m lost in a labyrinth within the walls. I sometimes dream about a few of my past jobs. Specific people from those jobs always surface.

That’s all I can recall for now. I’ll try to pay more attention. I’m just glad I’m finally having dreams again.

Lucid Dreaming Quest

Leave a comment

My newest obsession is Lucid Dreaming. I’m currently taking a course on the subject. I’m about half way through it, and it’s been pretty interesting so far.

For the longest time, I swore I didn’t dream at all. I could just never remember a single bit of any of my dreams ever. I also take several medications. So, I figured that may have something to do with it. A while back, I severely messed up my medications and didn’t take them for a bit. When I restarted them, I actually started to remember my dreams again. Not that I recommend anyone ever doing what I did, but I found that to be very interesting.

Recently, I was obsessed with trying to remember my dreams, because I wanted to be able to communicate with spirits in my sleep. That led me to needing to have better control over my dreams, which brought me to learning how to lucid dream.

So far, I’ve learned that I should wear an eye mask to help me to remember my dreams when I wake up. Apparently, it blocks out all visuals so that you can focus more on recalling your dreams. When you wake up, you should ask yourself “What did I dream about?”.

I also learned that it’s very important to keep a dream journal. Even if you can’t remember anything, write that down so you have an entry for that day. It’s also good to know your mood before sleep, during your dreams, and when you wake up. Keep track of other things too. You may want to write down any supplements or medications you may have taken.

I just finished the part that goes over a few techniques to fall asleep, and I am getting into different ways to control my dreams. So far, I’ve recorded three nights of dreams.

I have more to learn in my lesson, but I think I have a good start.

MenaTilda

Leave a comment

So last night, just after midnight, we heard a loud crash and our kitten Matilda came running.

She was climbing around, being a menace. I call her MenaTilda. She somehow got herself wrapped up from head to toe in one of those sticky fly strips that you use to catch and kill flies.

I grabbed her, trapped her in the bathroom, and pulled it off. Then I got her in a bath and scrubbed her as much as I could with Dawn dish detergent. The poor thing gave up fighting part way through. I combed through her fur as best I could. Then I wrapped her up in a blanket while my daughter made a cat cone out of a paper plate. She wanted to prevent Matilda from licking herself. We were scared the strip was toxic and she would get sick.

Meanwhile, I called the Animal Hospital. They had another number on their voicemail that I had to call. They said I did the right things so far, then directed me to Animal Poison Control. I waited thirty minutes for an agent to answer the line, but she turned out to be very helpful. The call was well over an hour, and I had to pay a fee for the consultation, but it was well worth it honestly. I feel much better. Also, my vet or I could call back at any time with my case number if needed.

Matilda is doing well for the most part. We haven’t noticed any of the symptoms that were mentioned by the agent. She’s still sticky, so I may need to give her a vegetable oil bath next. After that, I’ll see what the vet says or can do Tuesday, when I bring her in to get spayed.

This kitten is giving me even more gray hairs.

Rebates Update

Leave a comment

I used to write quite a bit about rebates, but I have since removed all pages and posts on the subject. I just need time to clean things up a bit. Some rules have changed in the rebating world. This has caused other things to change as well. Along with this, some companies have shut down or altered their practices. I want to make sure I’m providing correct information to everyone. Thanks for your patience.

In the meantime, please check out some of the other money saving tips.

Rearranging Again

Leave a comment

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been cleaning and updating a bit here. I’ve added some random pages, removed a few, took down some posts, rebuilt pages, and so on. I kind of do this all the time, but every so often I feel the need to change things up a bit more. My interests, phases, obsessions change so usually this site follows suit. I don’t post often for a few reasons. I don’t like to spam people with things they may not be interested in, and I do tend to either hyper focus too much or I’m frantically scattered all over the place. Why would I want to put anyone else through any of that. Especially people that actually have signed up to receive my blog updates. Although, I have actually recently considered writing a little bit more there. I’ll try to still keep it minimal and hopefully something strikes your interest. Feel free to join in the conversation if you like. I’d also like to get a lot more information on the site. I thought that since I’m constantly on a new search for some sort of knowledge, I would share along the way.

Thanks for joining me in all of my adventures!
