I took time off this week to have “fall break” with my sister and the twins and then we decided not to go anywhere. I’m still taking the time off and we’ll go have fun around town. I’m happy with that decision. It’s actually supposed to get cold and rainy on my 2 days off so I’m finally getting what I’ve been asking for. Ha ha I will make sure I have some time for 1 or 2 of my rainy day projects as well. Last night after family dinner we walked to a park and enjoyed being outdoors. It was a really glorious evening. I’ve nothing to complain about. I was happy with the way my dessert turned out. The kids thought it was fun.
After years of streaming tv and just paying the subscriptions, I’m finally taking a look at the money I’m spending for the value. The channel I watch the most is YouTube because I stream a lot of ambient noise/music. Most of the time, the ads there don’t annoy me enough to stop. So I’ve canceled or will be canceling most of my subscriptions.
I decided to keep Amazon prime because I do use it and so far their ads are doable and not super annoying. I donated enough money to PBS to get their full streaming services. I feel like that’s doing a good thing and will satisfy my documentary wants.
I canceled CrunchyRoll and AppleTV (it was a free couple months from my new phone which I then forgot to cancel). And in November I will be canceling Disney+ and Netflix when those expire. I watched a movie the other night on Netflix and they showed an ad every 13 minutes. It was way too much for me and I don’t get enough value to bump up to the non-ad version.
Who knows, with the money I’m saving, maybe I’ll bump up my YouTube to premium and have the place I stream most be ad free? Something to consider.
