Life goes on.
I've settled in and resigned myself to my unfortunately tax-high life for the recent future. I'm trying even more so than usual to not go out and stay away from sites that I spend money on too quickly such as BPAL, etsy, or Napa Japan.
It hasn't been all that hard though as I've spent most of this week being under the weather through various causes. Today being the latest in a string of headaches that will not go away. Waking up with headaches is the worst. Going to bed with a headache and waking up the same way makes things far less pleasant. But, well, these things happen.
It has been a somewhat stressful week at work with everyone else in my pod also under the influence of various ailments and not coming in.
Add in the fact that I'm pretty sure that my parcel of delicious Japanese snacks most likely got stolen this morning from my door stoop where I think FedEx left it while I was at work and I am just not having a good week.
However. There are bright spots. My housemate Jack is awesome. He knows I've been down in the dumps and rather grumpy as of late so we bummed around last night with wine and Chinese food and the new Star Trek movie playing on TV. He also dragged me out this evening to a local casual-fancy bar that he frequents around the corner from us for delicious cheese and meat (he ate that) and bread and booze and paid for it all.
This time next week I will also be in Toronto which is good. It's something to look forward to even though I'm trying to figure out how much money I should conceivably bring with me without going over budget. But still. A couple of concerts lined up, a couple of friends to meet, a couple of places to crash so I won't be paying for a hotel room, and I should be pretty well set.
Life isn't so bad and I think I'm just being more negative that I should be. So. Life goes on and so must I. Back to my tea and books.
