Tuesday

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)
