tell me why, i don't like mondays
Nov. 21st, 2005 11:11 amI bought a car on Saturday. Not quite the way I would have wanted to do it, but it's almost new and it has air bags and a CD player and working heat and it's small and gets good gas mileage--in essence, the complete opposite of my rust bucket.
It was kind of sad to say goodbye to that car, though. I've been everywhere in that thing--NYC, Philly, Pittsburgh, Myrtle Beach, all over Baltimore and DC--even if it did turn out to be a piece of crap, it was a good piece of crap for a long time.
So, I suppose there's no escaping the fact that I am an adult now. Car payments, health insurance, my own place, two jobs, and a real, actual, I-typed-it-up-in-Excel budget. Have I mentioned lately that I'm completely terrified?
I have this thing that I do, wherein I lose important information all the time. I have to run to the MVA today to get a duplicate title for my old car--because I of course lost the old title--and my dad made me a copy of my car's registration to take with me, and I was trying to find it this morning and I had a mini-heart attack because it was no where to be found. After about ten minutes of searching, I finally looked in my purse, where it was folded up and waiting for me to remember I'd put it there, specifically hoping to avoid the panic I knew would happen when I couldn't remember where I'd put it. Again, have I mentioned how terrified I am of this adult stuff?
I'm also exhausted all the time, in a way I don't remember being when I was in school and only sleeping four or five hours a night. I worked all day yesterday, and when I got home, I took a shower and curled up in my bed to watch TV. I fell asleep about halfway through Family Guy, woke up at 10:30, took out my contacts and got back in bed. And still, I woke up at 7:30 this morning exhausted. I don't get it. And before anyone says it (Ashley!), I know my situation would be improved if I exercised in the evenings, but I never have the energy to even start.
But, I have a short week to look forward to, and Thanksgiving and Racheal and movies-galore. I look forward to Thanksgiving all year long--I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's my second favorite holiday (the first, of course, being Groundhog's Day *g*). And the best part is, I have so many families, I get like three Thanksgiving dinners every year. So, there's that. There's a lot of other things, too, so I'm gonna take a break from complaining and go do some actual work. ;)
