Becky's Random Thoughts

 I am in the process of finalizing the sale of my YouTube channel. In the past week I thought of all the ways the money would help me. Now I find it will help others instead. It is what it is and I am still blessed to have experienced that grace.  I have taken a more careful approach to my depression. We have hot water now after a leak in the building for the past few months. That was rough! So soaking in a hot tub with my scented bodywashes makes me not only feel clean and spiffy but relaxed at the end of a stressful day. It is about minimalism!  So all of the excess stuff is out of the house. We are operating on just what we need and what makes us happy. Things seem easier overall with the new look. We are treating ourselves to a deep clean of the apartment to just have a massive reset. It is money well spent.  Overall, we are embracing a newer leaner lifestyle. One without the stuff for the sake of having stuff feel to it. 

 Attitude is everything.  I find when I slide mentally and emotionally into despair, anxiety or being glum, my work life suffers greatly. It is hard for me on the best of days to feel well enough to ATTEMPT work, let alone do a good job. Some days are good and some are spectacular failures.  However things have been on a quiet upswing this week. I have a VERY PT position. Just 10 hours or so per week most weeks (not all). This provides me the money to pay off medical costs. Per the news, there is a surge in wanting to add medical debt back onto credit reports. I am careful with mine. I make sure that by the end of the year, I am paid up and paid off fully.  But work is about more than paying bills. As someone who has chronic health conditions, it is a part of feeling productive. Like a "real" adult that contributes to society.  Work is about more than a paycheck. Never think of it as just a bank deposit. 

 It is almost end of the week! Yes, what a weird post title after the last few I have published online.  After Friday morning, I will be in nesting for a new client on LiveOps. Just a few hours per week but this feels suspiciously like - progress! I am ALWAYS ambivalent about progress. Too many times I have taken steps forward only to be tripped up and left behind in life. If I was another kind of person, it would leave me extremely bitter. Thankfully, I choose to believe that we are on God's schedule and not mine because my scheduling skills blow dust bunnies in the air. I am also extremely blessed to live with family. We pull ourselves together and face whatever may come our way. The joy of having a poor background is that when the poo hits the fan, we step aside and brush off the excess.  The sale of my Youtube channel is going on as planned as of the writing of this blog post. It is still up for consideration in an auction. I have a specific number that is the reserve...

 OMG I took the last one.  One of the most frustrating things about having a chronic condition is the medication. Whether it is long-term or acute meds for issues caused by your chronic health, it just sucks. I have had a leg infection for almost a year now. Just finished (as of this post time) the last of the antibiotics. Like folks...my foot was purple.  Another thing is just being so dang ole tired all the time. For my mental health, I am advised to limit my caffeine intake. However everything makes me so tired all the time. No matter how much sleep I get, it never seems to be enough. 

 Hey hey hey! I have so rarely felt the need to start with a clean slate. This week has been crazy!!!!! I am finishing up the antibiotics for the leg infection I have had for a year now. My previous Dr said it was nothing to worry about for the past several months. My feet and lower leg turned purple and I went to the Urgent Care. They freaked out! So now I am close to finishing up my second round of antibiotics. My legs and feet look almost 100 percent cleared up! I am still so very apprehensive and excited to sell my main YT channel. The money means paying off some debt.  Toodles for now!

 Hey all! Yes I am a glutton for punishment!!!!!!!! I just feel that the ability to master the top ten position in the Humanatic leaderboard is just out of reach! I can do this!!!!!!!! So I am determined to try to do as many calls (1K you say?) in a week as possible. I have just ONE category of call reviews that I am good at right now. They pay 3.5 cents per call reviewed correctly. So if I chuck out 400 calls, that would net me $14 per day. Humanatic is open 24/7 with thousands of calls! Some pay less and some pay way more but let's stick with what I know for right now! Back to the math! $14 per day X 7 days = $98 per week. This is WAY lower than what the DAILY people make on the platform. Some folks are netting $50 or more per day, not taking half a week.  Wish me well guys!

 OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be in the market to sell my YouTube channel. I have had some interesting feeders. I am not going to jinx myself right now with the prices they floated around. But very, very happy with the range of numbers.  I am also published on KDP - again - and added WebNovel to my list. Put my first two chapters for my fantasy novel, Of Elves and Bears up there. So far I have over 860 views on that story. Ya'll can hop on over there and review it! Of Elves and Bears: https://www.webnovel.com/book/33175825608514705/89071115648948319 Love ya!

 Hey Hey Hey! I am not one to wax poetic about life and such in most cases. However, I know that having a brief time of reflection most days helps put you on the right path. For me, that reflection is online church services.  I love listening to Christian music before I get my day started and combining that with a simple 30 minute service makes it seem like I can conquer the world! No matter your religious beliefs, I will always say that the 30 minutes I spend each morning sets the tone for the day.  If you google, (name of religion) online services, then you will find the appropriate ones for you. So spend half an hour as often as you can in reflection!

 Hey Hey Hey!  Oh boy, oh boy! What a week. I did okay but honestly I failed at this challenge. Let's talk about where things went wrong!  First I did not stick to the schedule I set for myself. A big nope! If I had done so, I could have easily reviewed 200 calls each day. Instead we had a family vacation during this time, a home reset and three days of flu.   But I digress. Overall I did a few calls each day. I can see where the potential to do this as a money maker is there. Many people are making $40-60 per DAY and the cashout minimum is $20 per week.   I have thought out a better strategy. I will simply pick one category and not stop reviewing calls unless I need a bathroom break or food/drink. It is a lack of discipline on my part. This error of ways WILL be corrected for the next time I try this challenge.
