Holiday mishigas...
So Thanksgiving is over and I even managed to brave the shopping mania, well just a little bit. I took myself out to iHOP for lunch today and then stopped by my favorite place for ornaments, the East Bay Nursery in Berkeley and got the two ornaments I have been coveting for a while. I got the 20% discount and that was cool. One was a pretty realistic looking hummingbird and the other was a cafetera, silver coffee thing. I have a lot of coffee things on my tree. See the theme? I like coffee. :P My tree is all set up here and looking pretty. I am not even using all my ornaments so why am I buying new ones? Because I WANT THEM!!!
The holiday itself was strange. My friend J*** works herself into a mood of disgruntlement and then tends to make these nasty side comments. Normally, I would hang out over there but I'd had enough of that and realized I would rather be writing or listening to music at my own place than listening to her grumble so I took myself off home. She tends to get moody on the holiday itself so I did not think anything of it. Though today we talked and she told me about the fine time she had when her friends stopped by so I am beginning to think that her mood is reserved for me. Not sure but that is what it feels like. I got more comments today on the phone so I am definitely not needing that. A nice long break is in order and I think I have other things to do than answer the phone right now. I could chalk it up to mood but this combined with a lack of interest from her in my life...well I have definitely reached my limit. I am beyond hurt feelings into apathetic now. I don't think there is anything to do here...I am just posting about it to clarify it in my mind. I won't be ending the friendship and I will probably tell her how I feel. Just writing it down and dusting it off..etc.
Aside from that I feel pretty good. One thing which occurred to me was that I could use more money here. There are only so many ways I can save my meager salary. I am contemplating a very part time second job. It would have to be within walking distance of my home and it would have to be very part time. I have to see about this. I am not into racking up miles to get to a position so I think I will canvas some businesses in the area and see what they say. I am pretty sure I am late for holiday stuff but you never know. Just a little bit more would boost my savings and that is my goal.
Thoughts and ramblings up to the minute here. I am really enjoying time off this weekend and perhaps I will get some things done. I do have a story or two in process and could work on those. I have been reading some great Tolkien fan fic recently too and will do some reviews. These are older stories I have pulled down and printed. Some very good ones. Stay tuned on that front.
Cheers and happy weekend.
