I'll steal your heart, too.
I'm never going to get used to this bloody shift...
I think I've made a crucial error by signing up for the nightshift at work. Yes, it's more money. Yes, it is, in many ways, an easier job than day scheduling. But it's bloody hard on the body. I can't eat, I can't sleep, and I've missed a period. And, since there's been no joy for what seems like decades, something's definitely going on.
I like it better, though. It's hell on my social life, but it reigns in my partying nature, so I have saved some coin. I've gotten to know a lot of other people at work that I only bumped into once in awhile during day scheduling.
I hate to admit it, but I'm a bloody useless adult. If it weren't for my sister and her sometimes useful overbearingness, I'd be up shit creek. She's great at balancing the books, and has worked out a functioning budget for me based on my income. While she may raise the occasional eyebrow about what I think necessary expenses are, she doesn't deny me.
In all, I get daily coffee, the occasional pint, the occasional pack of smokes, and the occasional purchasing opportunity of new reading material. Yes, that is all it takes. It's taken trade-offs though. My daily coffee is granted so long as I forego they buying of regular priced cigarettes. It's rez smokes all the way for this girl. And only one pack a week. Sigh.
I'm socking away money for the future, and for my student loan. It feels weird to have a weekly review of my expenditures, but its working.
I was asked out by someone quite unexpectedly. I blushed, stammered and didn't exactly agree on a date, but he had a pleased grin nevertheless. I get the feeling that he thinks he has the upper hand, now.
Silly boy.
I updated my Favorites List. Deleted some on the following criteria: off with their heads to those who haven't posted a blog since August. Added others because I've either just discovered them, have always meant to add em and have just forgotten them, or have caught their blogs by looking at other people's favorites lists. I'm not surprised to see that recomendations made by writers I like are good reads as well.
And that's all for now.
