Day Off

Posted on Thursday, November 30, 2006 at 05:26

Most of the way through my 'day off' and I am exhausted!

I borrowed a car today to do laundry and errands. Picked up an $8 flat rate box at the post office. I guess Dom and I will start filling it tonight and start mailing our most precious things to my brother's apartment in Austin the next time I have $8. Which isn't often lately, all of our 'gig' work seems to be drying up...So frustrating to know that this time last month we were able to pay all of our debt in one week, and spend the rest of the cash on living expenses and savings. My goal has been to save $300 a month, which would have been peachy keen had we not decided to leave a month earlier than originally planned.

While I was at the laundromat I read Real Simple magazine. I love magazines, but I don't let them into the house as they are the epitome of environmentally unfriendly clutter. This was a kitchen issue and got me plotting about our future home. I got so hungry reading recipes and stoicly ignoring the snack machines that directly after laundry I went to the Krogers across the street and bought loads of fresh, organic, mostly seasonable veggies.

I finally got home and started beans and a vegetable stew in the crock pot I found on the side of the road walking home from work last week. Now I'm sitting down, ejoying a hot cup of tea and a celery snack. Beat, though really all I did was read a magazine most of the day...

Sounds like your day off was a very busy one. Girl I tell you I do not miss the laundromat. I hate that place. I know they have nice ones out there, but not in my town. lol
Have a great weekend coming up.
