I had a rather quiet weekend. Yesterday it poured rain almost all day so I stayed home and did some cleaning and other chores. I went through a box I had in the closet of collectible angel figurines my mom had given me. I'm still undecided on what to do with them. They probably have some monetary value, and lots of sentimental value so for now I will keep them. I did get together a box of other random things to donate to the goodwill and will drop them off this week after work. Today I did some cooking, reading, and relaxing. I find I really need peaceful, calm Sundays to prepare myself for the work week. Work is just such a drain these days.
In my last paycheck I got my annual bonus. Since I am at the top of my pay range I no longer get % of salary increases. Instead, I receive a once yearly bonus. This year it was $1200. After taxes I realized about $830. This went straight to savings. I cashed out $125 from SwagBucks so far this month. I decided to just set up a PayPal account and start getting cash instead of gift cards. Not sure yet if I'll just send this savings or use it to pay a bill this month.
I made up a mixture of the blue Dawn dish soap and vinegar. I put it in a spray bottle, shook it up, and used it to clean my shower. It really works! I've been meaning to try this out for a while and finally got around to it. My shower was sparkling clean!
I have possible jury duty this week on Wednesday. My # seems to be right in the middle of the range so I'm hoping to not have to go. I wont know until the day before.
Not too much else happening. Have a good week all!

When I was working, I needed Sunday to regroup before heading back to work. Going to church, then relaxing, sure helped.
I had jury duty a number of years ago. I told DH that if anything would scare me straight, seeing some of the folks on the jury most certainly scared me. I would hate to think my fate was in their hands. Now, not all were bad, but egad.
Hope you have ag good week too.

I really like to set aside my Sundays as a stay close to home day. That's my little rule: that if I have to go to the store, I can do so locally, but the rule is I can't go any further than my own town. Most of the time, I don't go anywhere and am content to read, clean, relax and cook for the upcoming work week.
