Cleared for hire and a Beach Day!

1:12pm Phew! After mild panicking this morning about not being able to log onto Big Pharma's onboarding site, I just got a confirmation that I'm cleared for hire. You know my mind just thought the worst - I can't log-in because I don't have the job anymore. So, the email was a welcomed affirmation.

Still can't log-in. I guess I'll try again tomorrow? I've sent two emails now - 1 to the recruiter and 1 to the guy I've been working with for onboarding. Still awaiting a response.

In the meantime, after much hemming and hawing, I applied for the PenFed bank bonus and was DENIED. I had already said I was going to wait till June after a couple recent rejections, but you know me - can't wait.  Well that stopped that train. I wish I had just applied 2 days ago and been denied instead of spending the last 2 days giving it my mental energy just thinking about applying.

If I do get the Wespath deposit tomorrow, there're still 2 more accounts I want to open to churn that money while COVID takes a tour around America. For now, the funds are eventually getting invested, but I want to sit and look at it (j/k) for at least 3 months. It seems like what a financially responsible person would do given #pandemic. Some people seem to be hoarding money anyway.  I hadn't given it much thought. All my regular savings are still on automatic, so it's just these new influxes of money that have a question mark.

And while the stimulus check has not yet been received (I hope it's not lost), I hadn't really thought much about what to do with it. I think I'll churn it if I can otherwise it's going in savings for now, but optioning it for potential homemaking purchases.

Beach Day
It's supposed to be in the 80s this weekend and the North Carolina beaches are mostly open! I haven't been to the beach in at least 5 years, and my grief is just calling to feel weightless and unburdened. So, in the middle of buying bacon this morning, I just decided I was going to the beach.

I bought a beach chair ($6), beach bottoms ($11), sandwich stuff ($3), chips ($1), soda ($3), and a beach towel ($5). Oh and 1/2 a tank of gas ($10). I'm not even totalling it. But the only thing stopping me now is me!
