Hate, hate, hate:
- Immature adults.
- poor money management. I fucked up bad, hah. That's what happens when we want to take family touring around the island and go nuts.
- gas prices! even though they are getting better, it's still not good.
- stress.
Optimism:
- payday Friday. to fix up the messes I made for myself.
- donating blood. it always feels good afterward.
- sleeping in on Saturday. it's always a nice thing, even if there's laundry the rest of the day.
- August is working its way to being over and done with.
- possibly going snorkeling with Mike on Saturday. it depends if he works or not. if he's not working, then we're going in the afternoon.
- having a great husband. he's still sticking with me, despite my horrible financial skills.
- church annual bazaar. Annual Bazaar=yummy beef stew!
- Thai food. There's a new Thai restaurant near work, and they have a cheap lunch menu. Yum.
- getting my office space a little more organized. it is by no means clean & tidy. I just don't have as much paperwork piled up on my desk (and I have a big desk).
- Puka showing much, much improvement. she greets us at the door and enjoys being held. earlier, when she was sick(er), she would just lay around and that's it. she's still not as active as before, but much better.
- hanging out with friends. this is always fun.
- the feeling of improvement in playing a musical instrument. I'm playing the ryuteki and komabue for the 40th Anniversary Concert at the end of the month, and each rehearsal feels better every time. not perfect, but better.
- good health. I'm not in the best physical shape I can be, but I'm not sickly or in great pain or anything like that. I need to remember to be thankful for that.
(I'm feeling really stressed over my financial fuck up, so I'm trying to think of all the positive things in life)
What T.V. series are you looking forward to starting back up in the fall?
No more fall episodes... Doctor Who will have a Christmas special, and then start up what... May? Torchwood is not scheduled to start until Spring, I think. booooooooo.
Furniture Making/Design class begins tonight at the local college. I'm nervous about managing school while working full time; the lengthy commute to campus; and I'm insecure about my skill level as compared to other students. I am, however, excited to play with power tools and have access to a woodshop again!
This will be the first time I have been a woodworker and a corporate person simultaneously. I have always had the luxury of compartmentalizing these divergent aspects of myself. It will be interesting to see how high heels by day and steel-toed boots by night interplay with one another.
Obviously, this is something I will have to get used to...my goal is to start by having a small shop, while continuing to make real money, until the shop becomes sustainable. I'm not sure how likely it is that I will be able to pull this off in San Francisco - the dream will likely need to wait until we move back to Hawaii. But, as long as I am in that place by my 30th birthday, I will be happy. *knock on wood*
