So I discovered I accidentally mailed in an extension form for my taxes not my actual taxes so while I'm on my vacation I will be mailing out my taxes.
I got my SC taxes back and I was very adult and responsible and put the majority of it towards a big credit card payment and that card is almost paid off. I'm going to use the rest to renew my costco membership and get more stuff in the freezer. I've been doing fairly well with getting my credit card debt under control. Maybe not as fast as I would like but I have been paying more than the minimum and doing extra payments on one card to chip away at it.
This is my big adulting thing. I buy lunch too much for work so I have to get back to taking lunch.
I have just over a week off, which is nice. I spent the last three days working 7-3 and that's over. The company has been testing all the stores with new plans on how to deal with online order fulfillment (they are getting really serious about it and creating new corporate and store level roles for this). I was a support person, doing second looks for things that couldn't be found and trying to keep people within their time frame. I got good feedback on it and I found out that when the managers found out about this test and were planning I was someone they thought of for this and the store manager asked me if I was interested in doing this when it's peak season.
I really liked it, it was oddly less frustrating than just pulling the orders, it's kind of a leadership role and a support role. Not only was I looking for things but I was being asked to make judgement calls about when to give up on a search for items and tell whoever it was they could just go ahead and submit their lists as finished or if I needed to pull in a manager to check behind me.
Also even running around the store and walking over 15,000 steps I wasn't as tired or as achey as I normally am.
I haven't thought about Thanksgiving beyond - the mall will be closed and we still don't know if our store will be closed. I guess M's family will do something and I will try to stay away from that because they aren't taking precautions and 3 of his extended family members now have Covid.
If the hurricane hadn't happneed I would have been very very very tempted to drive down to FL and see my Dad from a distance and stand on the beach because I miss it. People from work keep going on their break and coming back from vacation somewhere and I want to go but I'm also not going to risk it.
I want to hug my parents damnit. I want to see my Dad face to face. He doesn't do any kind of video chat so I haven't even seen his face since last year.
