How are y’all hanging in there? Some days I’m good and some days I’m ready to toss a blanket and pillow into the backyard and lock my husband and daughter outside, just so I can have a little peace and quiet. I love these people but I’m tired of them, y’all. Calgon, take me awayyyyyyyy.
The Force was not with me this week. I scored a few secret shops that I was able to add on to my grocery order last week- the payment finally came, so yay! That was really my big earner. I’m plugging away on various sites, trying to meet the minimum threshold to cash out.
I was pretty excited the other week when I found myself qualifying for a ton of panels and surveys! That all seems to have dried back up. I’ve done this long enough to know it goes in cycles but man, for that one shining moment it all kinda felt normal again. Still, panels ultimately pay out well, though they can be a little slow to start. That’ll be something nice to work towards while I eke out a vacation on the week to week basis.
We haven’t started trying to solidify the budget for the future trip. To be honest, I’m finding it hard to get the motivation to plan a trip when we don’t know what next week will look like, much less a year from now. That seems so far away!
