My chrysanthemums are flowering! – they are a cheerful spot of colour in my overgrown garden at the moment. I’ve been doing a bit of weeding each day and am making very slow progress on the garden beds.

I’ve paid a bit more into our emergency fund so our balance is now $240.

My second job is very late in paying me this month. Its really annoying when they do this! My pay is now almost 2 weeks overdue.

Yesterday I felt just really worried about everything. An email from work about going back (yes, they had confirmed last week I was supposed to continue working from home) just set me off really. I just felt anxious and worried all afternoon and didn’t sleep well at all. I just want to be finished with working so much! I’m tired of it, I really am. But all I can do at the moment is keep plodding along with saving & reducing debt.

I really hope this pandemic does not set our retirement plans back but realistically I think it probably will. Anyway, I guess we are all entitled to have a few anxious days at times like this.

Well I’m going to go and try and get some work done before DH wakes up and the emails start arriving for the day. I think I need to keep busy today so I don’t think so much!
