Stepping into Spring
March 22, 2023 | BestLifeGlenn
It’s spring and I’m refreshing my style, checking out high yield CDs and getting ready for my fitness routine as I continue my journey to better health. Georgia is quirky. Waking up to 28 degrees on the first day of Spring, I had to retrieve sweaters, pullovers and jackets that I had put away. In this post are some of the remix looks that reflect Georgia’s fickle first week of Spring.
Spring is the time that I like to look more closely at finances to see if there are any improvements I can make. I’ve received several special offers from banking institutions for CDs ranging from 4.05 APY to 5.13 APY with $1,000 minimum deposits. I was interested in these because any boost in traditional savings accounts would be a miracle. Many traditional savings accounts earn very little —pennies really. Spoke with a credit union representative on the phone and Val and I headed out to get more information.
When we stepped out on this particular day, we needed jackets. We grabbed our black leather blazers from the foyer closet.When you’re dressed in black, trust me: Everybody thinks you’re ready for business. People are super polite. They say hello and greet you with a smile. So we wore our smiles, too.
We continued our Spring mission the next day by going to Academy Sports + Outdoors. Went to check out fitness gear for myself and Val, and to pick up a colorful tumbling mat for our granddaughter, Luna, the 7-year-old budding gymnast. These mats must be a thing. There were only a few on the shelves, so I grabbed one. Val looked around at outfits for Luna, trying to guess the size she needed. She’s growing tall fast and seems to need clothes every month. Shopping sales for future clothes is tricky. When you’re a grandparent, you’re always on the lookout for GRANDKIDS! Meanwhile, I spotted some winter clothing on clearance for 25% off and some packable chairs($5.99) perfect for outdoor concerts and outdoor movies. I enjoyed my trip to Academy Sports + Outdoors. It was just the inspo that I needed. I’m planning resume my workout with LA Fitness in a few days and I’ll let you know how it’s going in a future post.
I’ll show you what I bought at Academy Sports + outdoors in a future post. Feel free to share a comment. We would love to hear from you about this post. And don’t forget to subscribe below to bestlifeglenn.
