Errant Errands
With every errand that I cross off my list, I feel like I'm recovering so much more. :)
Today, I went to Citibank and cancelled quite a couple of my cards. I had signed up for them years ago thinking I could skimp and save with rebates on every fucking thing. Dumb. I'm quite happy I needn't look through so many things now. Also increased my credit limit in anticipation of the big ticket purchases I will be making for the house. At this point, I got pissed. Do the Citibank people not know discretion? They might as well announce my salary over the PA system. Saving grace was the counter girl who was chirpy and very pleasant.
Then I went to the condo to get the car decal and pay maintenance and to DEAL WITH THE SHIT THE TENANTS LEFT BEHIND. I have more to clear tomorrow.
And then M1. Everyone was nice but service took wayyyyy long. But I have a new phone line now and I qualify for the multi line saver!... I'm a cheapskate and I know it.
These weekends are far more palatable than those where I moped and sulked all day at home. I would rather be busy and not have time to think, than to have time and imagine the worst of everything. Yan once said our lives cycle in decades. Apparently, if you were on a high ten years ago, you'd be a happy cow now as well. In July 2001, I was spending my last days in hospital, before I was transferred out of Guards and into MDC.
Feels just about right. But I'm going to fucking break this ten-year shit and be mega happy.
