twicketfaceI really don't feel like doing anything besides doing nothing at work. I guess that fits nicely with today. Listening to Black Coffee Blues and OCly checking my email.
Last night was our trip to the library with LBEric. It was fun. I found the above and also some more CDs (George Carlin, Rollins Band and The Ramones) and some books on poverty and Buddhism.
Yesterday, I really liked the point hateful_woman made about how when you restrict yourself (as with purchases), the purchases themselves become that much more meaningful. I'd like to work towards that mindset. Not that I just buy whatever I want right away, but I think I could have some more self control.
Sleep has become elusive to me again. The alarm (this morning Billy Joel's "Borderline") halts my dreams and cranks up the grogginess. I just want to wake up refreshed, ready to take on the day instead of drag myself to the shower and fake it all over again. Perhaps tonight will be better.
I'm leaving from work and going to my parent's house. I will download vast quantities of interesting and great music and games and also pummel my father in cribbage. The student will surpass the master.
I just cashed out my two investment accounts, on account of the accident I was in when I was younger and moved them into safer locations, this case being the bank. Had I cashed them out at the peak of their worth, they would've been worth more than double what they are now, which is about $100 more than the were originally. Got that? So I lost all the profit but kept the principal. Which in the grand scheme of things is still a loss, but not all that bad. We're still shy of our down payment amount, but should be where we want to within a year. Especially if Marie gets paid as well as she thinks she will for Great Kids this summer. Perhaps I should look into donating plasma again. Then, if Marie and I get into a heated argument about the house someday I can yell out "I fucking BLED for this house!". Not that that would ever happen, but it's handy to know that I've got the situation if need be.
Therapy is not out of the question.
