A day off after a string of closing shifts, let's go.
Frankly, the day is already thrown off schedule by the fact that I have to overcome my phone anxiety several times in a row to call my representatives and urge them to fucking do something about the federal funding freeze. Of course, they won't. They're all republicans with a desperate desire to be reamed by every nazi they see. Not that democrats are any better, I think they lose on purpose because they get more donations by people desperate for them to win, then. But that's just infuriating, and I've been under enough stress lately as is. Endless rage isn't good for the heart.
Well, anyways.
I've been a boring adult lately. I'm finally at a point with my new job where I actually have leftover money from each paycheck, and so I'm learning more about savings and investment and shit for it. Only short term for now. I only wanted a new place to park my savings, as my normal banks saving account interest rate is literally like 0.002%.
Yesterday I made a high yield savings account with a 3.8% interest rate and put the savings money there. Keep it far away so I can't impulsively dip into it all while it at least generates *some* interest.
I've also started playing around with stocks again. I apparently left $12 in my Robinhood account so I've been fooling around with it. For example, I am currently up $0.13.
I was also thinking about T-bills but frankly that shit's confusing as fuck so I dunno.
In other news, I'm contemplating embedding this blog onto my Neocities. But the thing is, I am quite private... I feel apprehensive about more than 2 or 3 people reading this. But I'm sure Neocities inflates its viewer stats, and embedding would only bring it up to 5 viewers after all, but dang, still, y'know? Eh.
It's also time for me to lock the fuck in with my side business because now that I'm feeling recovered enough to dedicate time to, well, anything beyond survival... Well, I should do it.
