"Life is indeed difficult..."
Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor. -- Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams, Lidia Dengelegi, The Art & Science of Rational Eating, 1992
Dunno, just chose the above quote.. spoke to me today...
I want a slow cooker.. I've been thinking about this for a while. I think 'investing' in one would be brilliant for me! I could leave things cooking and come home to some yum food. I don't know why I haven't gotten one yet. I need to. And I was just checking Targé and they're really not all that expensive. I need to check Bed Bath & Beyond since I have a coupon for them... hmm... maybe this weekend...
Today, no work for me. I don't talk much about my mental state. But, I have started going to a shrink again. I started back in December (or was it January?) I can't remember. Anyways. I have an appointment with him this Monday. Not a moment too soon (okay, sooner seriously would've been better) because these last couple of weeks have been kind of rough. Then this morning was a sort of breaking point. I had a rough day at work yesterday, kind of stressful, due to others and due to the pressure I put on my self. I know I'm hard on myself, a lot, but it's because I want to do a good job. It also was because of the way I was brought up. Just another one of my issues. Anyways, this morning was not a good one. I opted out of getting into my car, driving 30-45 minutes in rush hour traffic, and going into the office. I felt it was probably better that way for myself, and for the others on the road. Hah. So I've been taking my extra little pills today, trying to keep myself calm, relaxing, and organizing stuff since that (oddly enough) soothes me as well. Oh and I took a nap. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. I'm sure it will..
My laptop. I love it. But it's on it's last leg. I'm even impressed it's working again since it died a month or so ago. I'm thinking (hoping) that during the summer I will try to get a new one. Probably through Dell again, since I have a credit line with them. Also, before this I must pay off one of my credit cards. This is my own stipulation. I'm trying to get back on track with money. So until this happens, I must use this old clunker & hope (*crosses fingers*) that it won't give out on me before then :oP. Granted, it's nice that I do have my work laptop I can use. But it's still not my own, which is just nice all around.
TV, no I still don't have one. I was thinking of checking out the sales at Costco come Memorial Day to see if I can find a good deal on a new flat screen. This is where I have my credit from the last flat screen that crapped out on me. Believe me I will be getting a name-brand tv this time, not some random off brand like last time :oP. Lesson Learned. I miss having a bigger screened tv. I honestly don't miss cable all that much. It really helps that a lot of shows I watch are on the web & I can just look them up that way. The intarwebs is awesomeness.
Well, I think that's it for me today.
