3 good things...

1. I did get talked to about Friday, but far less formal than I expected. It was more of my boss kinda mentioned it rather than a lecture. I'm very grateful, because I've been trying not to go nuts with worry.

2. Despite the wonkiness of the day I hung 360 clothes, which is quota! (for the first time).

3. Friends. Because I don't just make friends, I make family. ^_^ I love my sisters so incredibly much. My first sister is Katie, my second is Ally, my third is Alena ( feels like dancing because Alena is pregnant), and now I am working on a fourth sister, Cassie. Blood may be thicker than water, but a connection of love is far stronger.

3 good things...

1. My friends have been the people who have taken care of me and given me the love and care that I have needed. My friends have been my family. I would not be here without them.

2. God has been the single most faithful person and I most certainly would not have made it anywhere without Him.

3. I am thankful for the continual reminders that we are all human. I am human I will make mistakes. Other people are human they will make mistakes. When I make mistakes I must remember to not condemn myself, but to learn from it. When others make a mistakes I must remember not to condemn them, because they are an important living breathing being, not to mention the fact that I either have or might make the same mistakes as well.

This reminds me of my call to understand. Understand what? Anything and everything I can get a hold of to understand. For me understanding has brought compassion (so I guess this is technically 4 good things, but I won't tell anyone if you won't). May God bless you and bring you understanding.

The "B" Word

Yes I said it, the "B" word! BUDGET!!!!! O_O So I read a few more chapters in Finacial Peace Revisited and worked on a budget. I will get my emergency fund (or as I prefer to call it my shit hits the fan fund, shit fund for short) fully funded by this next paycheck. Then I'm on to save for my 3-6 months worth of expenses. When I'm done, not much of anything money related will scare me (knock on wood for good measure).
As for the earlier part of my day I've spent it playing Dragon Age and running around on Youtube. Really kind of spent my whole last month supremely bored. My counselor said for me to do something small for myself everyday... not much appeals to me lately. I did have some raspberry sorbet earlier though. I bought myself a pint of it last week, promptly forgot about it, then realized I had it this evening. I suppose that was my small thing for the day.
I need to figure out what I am getting up for everyday. The only thing I can think of that I wake up for now is hope and an utterly stubborn sense of self preservation. This is not to make any less of the wonderful friends I have, because you are all awesome.
I need to look at myself learn what it is that I dislike and work on changing it again. I want to be able to enjoy my own company again.
