- My friends are awesome and made me feel much better about some of the things that have been depressing me lately. To a person, they insisted that the bad karma I'm experiencing is as baffling to them as it is to me, and if they're not seeing bad action on my part that needs to be corrected, then maybe it's not as, well, bad, as I think it is.
- I got up the courage to ask my mother for some help on my Mad Money account. I won't ask her for house money — I got myself into that mess and it's up to me to get out of it — but the Mad Money can't be at a zero balance. I need a cushion, not for buying things, but for making sure I don't get hit with an overdraft when I do need to break into it. It was scary asking her, and I don't know yet if she'll say yes, but I cowboyed up and asked, which is the second worst part for me.
- Accepting it will be the first worst part, but we'll cross that bridge when/if we come to it.
- I had ice cream yesterday. Not a lot by anyone's standards, and I had to have Benadryl beforehand or risk an allergic reaction, which means I pretty much fell asleep right afterward, but the ice cream, it is so good.
- I read somewhere that I should surround myself with the color green whenever possible in order to have my life start focusing on the areas (creativity, balance, generosity) that I want to make positive changes in. I like green.
- I had mint ice cream yesterday.
- This blog got accepted into a sponsored blog program yesterday, so I will put aside some time and start writing sponsored blogs very shortly.
- I got spam in the podcast email account from James Dean. The subject said, "Waiting to hear from you." I said, "Keep waiting till you die. Oh, too late."
- I would feel worse about that if I didn't believe that I'm in less trouble, karma-wise, than whomever took James Dean's name in vain to send spam in the first place.
- It's Monday. Here's to making this week less stressful than last week was.
