You guys. Iām feeling like we havenāt fully gelled as a message board thatās known each other for a long time because we havenāt bankrupted wall st. Why arenāt we working towards these goals?? I did get that stimulus check a couple weeks ago.... When do I become a billionaire?

The heating situation in my new building is bonkers. Like, I think that it's entirely possible that this whole 16,000 sqft building has no insulation. Like at all. And there are vents from the living space into the roof cavity and even up through the ceiling. I paid $4,000 in propane last month. So I'm going to call in all the state incentive deals on weatherization and see what I can do to improve this situation. But this morning I was comparing fuel bills from my old property to the new ones and noticed that at the old place I am paying 50 cents per gallon less. What?!?! That would currently save me $800-$1200 per month. My pricing there is based on the landlord, but most definitely I am going to work every angle that I can to bring that pricing over here. Holy moly. I want to make that happen today.

I picked the wrong color for my master bathroom. I couldn't figure out what the "right" color was until MH commented on it this morning and now it's driving me insane and I want to repaint it immediately. I want to do it myself though, since I already paid someone to do it once š¬.
It's light blue right now and should be a super pale rose.

Also, did you just tell the people the wrong color, or did you think the blue was hoping to work and realize now that rose is a better choice?

The last owners had it painted a blue gray that looked fine so I assumed a lighter blue would look even better but I assumed wrong. Our bedroom is all gray and rose so I should have continued that theme which would have blended better with the beige and gold accent tiles. I guess one room wrong out of the whole house isn't bad! But yes, as soon as we are back here next month and the painters finish up I'm going to repaint it.

Their feelings wonāt be hurt. And they are already there and set up and have the supplies. Itās not that big of a deal.

I actually enjoy painting though (and I'm really good at it) so I'm kind of looking forward to doing it. And other than being on a ladder, it's an easy project. Plus if it's STILL the wrong color I'll know right away hahahaha.

My husband is already deeply regretting mentioning the paint color because I keep talking about it and he knows I won't shut up until I fix it.

I've got a fractional share of GME. I bought it Thursday. I made tens of dollars, then lost tens of dollars, then made it back. I'm currently back at the same place I was at the beginning.

I am irrationally excited to "celebrate" Groundhog Day tomorrow. We've been reading a cute picture book, the kids made groundhog headbands yesterday, and I'm polling family today by text for L's graphing/prediction worksheet if he will see his shadow.

We are expected to get a bunch of messy snow - something around a foot, plus rain and ice mixed in.
I have the little kids here today and I spent the last two hours ignoring them in favor of taking down the Christmas lights (DON'T JUDGE ME, THEY WERE RAINBOW SO NO ONE THOUGHT THEY WERE CHRISTMASSY ANYWAY), tidying the porch, tidying the yard, dismantling the snowman's accessories, and helping an idiotic FB marketplace person pick up our futon and load it in her too-small car.
Good luck getting home. Also, who doesn't disclose that they need help loading, during a pandemic? I checked the little "this will be a contactless pickup" box. But I felt bad, and can't have a futon in my driveway with 12" of snow coming. Oh well.

Kudos to the Punxsutawney tourism board! If it wasn't for MH's requirement to be physically at his job, covid, and lack of funds, we would be there LOL! #goals2022

I couldn't sleep between 1am and 530am last night. Just a constant stream of negative thoughts. I'm so exhausted this morning, there isn't enough coffee to get me through š“š“š“

Before we left the house Saturday I set up all my indoor security cameras so I could keep an eye on things since we won't be back until next week sometime. The painters came today to finish up and unplugged all of them and didn't plug any back in when they left. So I'm super annoyed and I guess I have to ask someone to go back over there tomorrow and plug them all back in for me. I could care less about watching them while they are there I just like to have eyes on the place so I know it's not burning down/being burgled/etc. They were all out of the way of the areas they had left to paint so I'm very wtf about it.

I ordered some bargain books from a Canadian website and Iām so impressed with the quality! I got a Star Wars ādroidographyā for B and he hasnāt asked for screens in two days. I love how much he loves books and canāt wait for him to learn to read.

Isnāt there someone on here who likes coffee from Aldi? Maybe Dramaphile? Which one is it? Does it come in whole bean? Iām looking into ways to save money, and as much as I love my coffee, it is pretty pricey. Thanks!

My dad told him the story and he has quite a bit of Star Wars Lego. I was thinking of looking for some kids' books about it for him.
