Ups

It's weird. I don't think I realized how stressed out I've been over money. For the last few weeks I've had headaches daily. I figured it was just allergies or me not getting enough water and food. Sometimes I probably could have done with a little more water, and some days I did spend excessive amounts of time outside...

Yesterday, I realized I had double what I expected in my Crayon bank. When I got my school money I slipped a $50 into it with the change because I knew I wouldn't touch it until it was an emergency. I didn't touch it until my bank account was nearly 0. Best part? when I popped the bottom off and fished out the bills in the sea of pennies I found that I din't just put a 50 in there, I put a 50 wrapped in a 50, a 10 and two ones. :) I know the exact reason I did so was so that the fear and anxiety of almost being broke would scare me into being smart about my last $100. I also knew I'd forget. I love myself sometimes.

Then on my way home from school yesterday I figured I was so close to Wendy's that I may as well stop in and ask for my job back. My brother starts there Sunday as a manager so I figured I'd at least have that to look forward to as far as the environment went. The whole thing is so love hate with me, but I need a paycheck and me and my brother work together fabulously. She was more than happy to give me hours since she never terminated me officially :) I have a job. I'm EMPLOYED again. I don't intend to work the hours I used to, or the same shifts. I'm getting good grades and I'll be volunteering  soon. I need to be spending about 12 hours a week volunteering, going to school full time, doing homework, taking care of my responsibilities as the secretary to two clubs and still getting shit done with my life. I don't have 35 hours to dedicate to Wendy's every week anymore. If I can pay my phone bill, help out with my car, get gas and still have a bit left over for whatever else I'll be doing grand.

Finally, yesterday was my birthday. I'm 22. Even though I feel old and I feel like I should have done so much more so much sooner, I got monies for my birthday and spent time with my dad and brother.

What point am I trying to make? All those things happening, despite some issues I had yesterday, have put me in a great mood. Now that I'm in this great mood I don't have a headache when I normally would. I've drank and ate just as little, but feel completely different.

Even at 22, life is a big crazy roller-coaster of emotions. I don't know if I mind, but it's interesting to think about if nothing else.

:D

I downloaded this program called Paint.net

It's basically the best photo program you can get. The only real benefit Gimp has over it is the ability to animate, which I haven't even tried on Paint.net, so for all I know making layers will animate this as well. It was a bit tricky, but I'm getting the hang of it.

2 1/2 days. Most shit is out. I carried most of it over today. some paintings, some furniture, my DVD player and some junk on my headboard. I'm getting the rest of my stuff tomorrow besides my TV and clothes. Fuck Yeah.

Work was ooookay. Rachel was there, therefor it was better than usual.

I ate at the Indiana Pancake House today, I got the Chicken Alfredo, which came with a piece of garlic bread and a fucking salad. I LOVE that place. all that for only $7. It's the sit down restaurant in Decatur. I WILL take Michelle there. And Brandon, for waffles and Pancakes.

I'm loving the Brit-spears comeback. I want to go the see Circus.
