Interesting timing
Sep. 1st, 2025 04:29 pmIt's Labor Day in the US and we spent it with Garrett's mom at a combination driving range and mini golf place. I thought they also had a golf course, but saw once we were playing that I was wrong. We had lunch in the clubhouse first, and it was good and I liked the menu and would definitely not say no to going back. The mini golf course is pretty hard, though.
I'm glad we ate first because once we started playing, the next group behind us happened to be someone we know and his girlfriend. We haven't seen him since we held a Friendsgiving party at our place in 2023. We had them join us rather than be one hole behind us the whole time, and it was a fun way to catch up. His girlfriend was nice, which is a bonus.
If today wasn't Labor Day, it'd be the day my new job goes from part time to full. So, starting tomorrow I'll finally be getting back into that routine. Wake up, work a little, shower, teach a class, shower again, work some more. I don't have a class on Wednesday and sometimes I'll go to one, sometimes I'll walk instead, and I'm sure sometimes I'll just work and be done early. It's a relief to finally be going full time, financially speaking. Of course, it won't matter if we win the $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot tonight.
I can't remember if I posted about it when I matched all but one number on Lotto. That got me $1000 which isn't bad it kinda seems like it should be more? The jackpot for that drawing would have been $2.9 million and I've since decided I won't play unless it's more. $200 million is the new threshold. Keep in mind you instantly lose a great deal of it to taxes, so when you think of an amount you'd like to win, you should double it.
