miko2I vowed to write every day this year. I vowed other things too but I've already forgotten most of them, although I could scroll back a couple of weeks and look if I really wanted to. Which I don't. But the writing thing, so far I've kept my promise, even if it only means I've written every day in my Livejournal. There was one day that shows that I didn't write that day, but I did, only it got posted after midnight, which still counts in my book because I had a different post later that day after I slept. So, anyway, no actual story writing this year so far, but Writer's Night is coming up this weekend so you never know, I could pressure myself into getting my Christmas ghost story done. Or I could watch some anime, box a few things up, and goof around on the computer before going to bed again.
One of my other vows is to put stuff in my car every day to take down to my new apartment. This one is a serious vow too, because if I fail to do it once, then it's a wasted opportunity, and might lead to me failing to do it the next day as well. So this morning, despite the fact that I was running late, I took the time to fill my car with boxes of stuff. After work I went over to the new place and unloaded them, and I also unpacked four of the big plastic totes that mostly had clothing on hangers in them, and hung stuff up, and brough the totes back with me so I can stuff them full of stuff again. ^_^
I should have picked up my car tabs today but I was running too late. Le sigh! But overall things are going very well for me, so far.
Today I broke one of my other promises, and finally spent some money on food. All I did was get two subs from Arby's for $5, but that's the first money I've spent on lunch in two weeks -- at least, running out to buy something on my lunch break. I've been eating soup or chili or ramen noodles or other things I already had at work or had in the cubbord at home, or pizza or other things people at work have left out for others to eat, or I bought some bags of salad and added cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avacado, and a Lite Jalepeno Ranch dressing, that was pretty good, and I still have some more of that for tomorrow. Basically whatever I can do for lunch that doesn't involve me spending $7 to $10 at a fast food place. You have no idea, I've typically over the last three years bought my lunch at some fast food place in Auburn pretty much every single day, which was a lot easier to do when I only paid $310.00 in rent. I'd eat at Arby's, Taco Time, Sunny Teriyaki, KFC, Subway, or at a Mexican restaurant or a Thai restaurant that were nearby, or I'd get something from Fred Meyers. That was the usual routine, and I'm saving a lot of money by not doing that every day, but lunch is a lot more boring. Le sigh!
