'Tis a rainy halloween morning. I am snuggled up on my leather recliner with my laptop listening to Sleater-Kinney's "Dig me out" album. An oldie but a goody! I just washed most of the dishes save for a couple of "soaker" items, put a load of laundry on and I am also thinking I'm nearly done Helen's letter. I just need to make an envelope/decorate one, and start stamping it. I have three stamps on me, I'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to get a couple more. I never really know how much postage to put on her letters and usually I'm not just dropping by the post office so I just overstamp it to assure its arrival to her in Wales.
Next for letters I want to send one to Mom, one to Dad, and one to Asia in that order. I'll have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to get my tips from work to pay for that postage. Wait, actually I might have change enough to post Helen's letter today. I just remembered I have some change from yesterday...yay!
Normally today would be my day off but since I took last Friday off I decided to pick up a shift for tonight when I was offered it by my boss the other day. Since I have a bit of an advance taken off my cheque from two paydays ago (it was a mistake made by the accountant) coming up I want to at least make sure that my cheque is almost up to par with my usual hours. Since our new place is inclusive utilities with rent I only have one monthly payment to worry about (besides food and that kind of thing) so even though this cheque won't be the greatest it won't be so big of a deal worrying about bills n' such.
I have been window shopping my face off on the internet lately. Mainly the "Forever21" site. I've just got to get myself some clothes from there. I learned that they accept paypal a couple months ago and I've been daydreaming about a clothes shopping spree since then! Perhaps if I remind myself that $$ I don't waste buying cigs (and then guiltily giving them away!) could go towards some hot new threads instead.
I think part of the issue with me smoking again is my workplace has slowed in work pace and I'm doing it out of sick laziness and boredom, discontent. Only the catch is I'm just becoming more discontent and feeling slowly uckier. In fact this morning I woke up with a sore throat and it really made me think, "Ew, am I really going to go down this road again"? NO. Please don't, Ashley. For your own sake.
Yes, I just talked to myself in the 3rd person (what's it to ya?!) LOL
It's time to go back to kicking ass instead of having my ass kicked by negative thoughts and consequently, negative actions. Time to switch gears and flip the script.
