I've been Missing In Action from my blog for a while now. Last week, I got ridiculously sick--summer colds are the worst because not only are you feverish and congested, but its also 95 degrees out as well! Talk about being comfortable. I even had to call into work sick--my first time taking a sick day ever. EVER, in all of my 7 years of working, I had never ever called into work. I guess there's a first time for everything. Needless to say, all last week I pretty much did nothing but sleep and watch Tv.
oh, and this brings me to confessing a secret of mine. I spent the hours between long naps last week reading 116 chapters of the korean manhwa Goong, then watching 24 episodes of the drama. It was perverse and addictive and silly and unproductive and lovely and fun. I will be the first to admit that I am slightly obsessed with aspects of royalty, so of course this was right up my alley. So there, my guilty pleasure is confessed!
I'm heading off to vegas in about two weeks, but I am terribly, terribly, broke at the moment. The money I manage to save up I always end up spending on ingredients! Since I am eating my investments, it always feels like I have nothing to show for the work that I do, which is why I sometimes go crazy with online shopping because it makes me feel better that I have something tangible to show for the money I've spent. This, I know, is not very smart or financially sound, especially while I've got credit card bills to pay, so I must learn how to curb my wants to concentrate on the needs.
School is fast approaching as well, and I am also in my last two weeks at my current job. At the end of the month I start a new job at school (hurray!) but I am a bit worried that my first paycheck wont be until early/mid october--we get paid monthly. This means I won't have any cash flow for at least a month! I really hope thats not the case, because I don't know what I'd do in the meantime :(
Since I've been a bum recently, I'm determined to be good today. I made my first meal in days, a simple potato, cheese, red pepper, and onion omelet with fresh berries and mango nectar. Now, off to do laundry, grocery shop, hit the gym, and get so useful reading before the day is out!
[p.s. I am in love with Bath and Body works' Pink Grapefruit lotion/soaps. After using them, I smell my hands all day =) ]
