Dry
My big birthday present this year was a large gift card to Home Depot. Mom, Dad, my brother and sister-in-law all chipped in. I used it this morning to buy most of a new dryer, which was kind of the idea, as my current one doesn't heat up anymore. It's scheduled to get delivered next Saturday. Soon, I will experience warm t-shirts again, and the house will look less like a 1900s tenement.
I'm kind of stressed about money. I'm not in any immediate trouble, but summer was expensive, and it was exacerbated by a combination of bad luck and me being stupid. I had a nightmare last night about running out of money, and having to live for a month on just $18. My brain tends to work on the odd side of things. It's very unusual that I have a nightmare about something so mundane. Regardless, I'm calling a moratorium on media purchases. No DVDs, books, comics, etc, for the foreseeable future.
Other than that... hell, I don't know. Recently, I've been feeling real nadirs in creative bankruptcy and social isolation. Not sure what the deal is. Maybe it's just birthday blues, but it feels deeper than that. Even incredibly simple stuff, like tossing "I liked that movie" or even "hi" into a conversation, has been difficult. So anyway, I'm not going to fight it. I'm canceling my vague evening plans, staying in and not doing anything in particular. Maybe that's the wrong thing to do. I wouldn't know.
