Sick --- 81 days.

Turns out a good nights sleep was not all that I needed. I still felt like crap this morning, and called into work sick. In the movies they always make sick days seem so great. They are not. I have a pile of things to do, but didn't get around to hardly any as the almost the whole day was spent in bed or laying in front of the t.v. and I missed out on a days pay. Sick days are not fun!

In more happy news, today for the first time since hurting my knee I was able to sleep on my stomach. This may not seem exciting to most people, but it is my favorite way of sleeping, and not being able to do it for a month was a real pain in the but. I also see it as a sign of healing, which is great. Next week I start physio, and I am super excited to starting getting the use of my knee back.

On to another topic, I love to read. Being in school and being forced to read textbooks does take the fun out of it, but as soon as summer beings I start reading for my own enjoyment.

My first book this summer:

I realize this may not be everyones idea of an "enjoyable" read, but it is a fantastic book. My dream career: Personal Financial Advisor. I find finances very interesting, and I am passionate about managing them well (maybe even to a fault).  I have found some of this book a little inapplicable because of a lack of debt. It is still very interesting and is even a motivator not to go into debt, as she does many interest calculations that are shocking.

She has written the book in a way that is very easy to understand and work through, even if you are not knowledgeable in the area of finances. There is also info in the book about creating budgets and planning for the things that you want that are useful to everyone.

I would definitely recommend this book to everyone interested in controlling their finances and especially to people who are in debt ( even if it is just a little bit). That is were I will end it, to avoid getting into a rant about finances and debt (it is on the tips of my fingers).
