Stupid
I'll think I'm doing fine, and then some stupid thing will be said, or I'll see something, and all of the sudden some memory comes back to me, and it makes me just want to cry. Stupid. Why do I always want what I just can't have? Or should I be asking why the hell I can't have what I want? Either way, it's out of my hands. And yes, I'm talking about YOU. You should know who you are, by now.
Other than that, it was a pretty decent day. I got to go to Half Price Books and take advantage of their super-special half-off the clearance price sale. So, I got a 2007 edition of the novel and short story writer's market, a book about public speaking, another healthy eating/diet book, 2 paperbacks, a journal, and a set of blank cards, all for $4.30. Yay book sale!
Tomorrow I go to the library (my favorite place) and trade in my books. Then, maybe if I can get the timing right, I could go with my best friend, her 8 y.o. daughter, and 10 y.o. niece to the salon for a manicure and pedicure. I'm still a little iffy on the plan. It's awfully expensive. My friend offered to pay for me to go, but I feel guilty accepting that. She and her husband are always doing stuff for me or paying for me to go out with them. I am so blessed to have such great friends. As soon as I have a job I'm going to have to come up with something amazing to do to thank them for all their kindness and generosity.
Meanwhile, my parents put the condo up for sale today. I totally hope that I get a job so I can move out soon. It'll be a pain to be here while they're showing it, and if it sells before I can get a place of my own, I'll be forced to put most of my stuff in storage and move back in to my parents' home. I really don't want to go back to sleeping on a twin sized bed, let me tell you.
