Ironically?

I'm never confident when using the word "ironically", but anyway, in a matter of happenstance, the thing that has made me feel better has been spending money. I wished for 3000 dollars and was cursed to be late to work and now I've gone to walgreens on my lunch break and bought things to make me free of guilt and happy again.


Dippin' dots just make me sooooo happy and one of my lovely friends from school told  me that walgreens sells them. Have I mentioned that in a previous post? Oh well it's worth mentioning again. It's so simple, dippin' dots, but I love that about it. It also reminds me of my grandfather taking us grandkids to the dippin' dots ice cream shop in Florida, which is a memory I hold very dear. I also noticed that that walgreens has mini $1 bags of cheese curls. That's the best. I haven't found them at my walgreens back home.

I also bought a movie ticket to TFIOS and The Night Before Our Stars (an unprecedented event). Is it weird that I didn't and don't plan to invite anyone to go with me because I don't feel comfortable enough with anyone to ugly cry that much in front of them. Strangers, I don't mind that much. I am so unbelievably pumped.


And now I feel fine.

Late again

This morning I jolted up at 8:15am and I was supposed to be at work at 8am.

This is problematic for a number of reasons, number one being that it takes me 30 minutes to drive to work. Even if I rolled out of bed and walked to the car in all of my greasy, bed-headed glory, that's still 45 minutes late. I have absolutely no idea how I slept through 2 alarms. I woke up at 6:45am just fine yesterday and the day before. What's crazy is even before I looked at my clock, I knew that I was late. That's why I used jolted at the beginning of this paragraph.
Now I have this tail between my legs feeling that will last for at least another 5 hours. It usually doesn't matter how "late" I am because most of the time I make my own schedule, but some days I have a responsibility and I have to be on time. It's shitty of me, but I'm late so often. I always have people to apologize to for tardiness. If you can count on me for anything, it's that I'll be late. I don't think I'm accumulating strikes, but what if I am? I'm on the last straw, surely.
What really annoys me, and it shouldn't annoy me, is that my grandmother didn't come wake me at 7:45am. It's not her responsibility. BUT she has this remarkable ability to pick days to wake me when I don't actually have to be there early and then she gets upset at me because I haven't told her I'm sleeping in. The days where it could be useful to me, she lets me sleep undisturbed. I know she could hear my alarm clocks. Does she think I play them for fun? I shouldn't be irritated.

It's far fetched, but here's why I think I overslept: Because I wished for $3000 dollars right before I drifted off to sleep. The powers of the universe heard that and were like, "Haha fuck you."

funny

In the past month, I've ripped a pair of jeans in the thigh and just now I've ripped my pajamas in the thigh and I'm feeling like a real fatty.

In other news, I hung out with the cutest pitbull puppy today. He was outside when I was washing the cars and he chilled in the shade of the garage. Maybe it wasn't a pitbull. I don't know dog breeds, but it looked like the kind of dog that the Wheatons have.

Finished project ohhh yeahhh

Look at this cute picture from a past weekend when I was home. I guess it was last weekend.
I stole this from one of the girls in the photooo and it's a cute little sandwich of us. I like it very much.

That very same weekend, me and the fam tried a new restaurant and I think it's my new favorite. They just have everything I like. Also, my mom found this book that my brother made when he was a youngster. It's hilarious, but I don't know if it's universally hilarious or just hilarious because he's my brother.
I mean, no. It is just hilarious.

13. Describe 5 weaknesses you have.


I'm thinking that since this isn't an interview where I have to disguise my weaknesses as strengths,  I can just say 5 cute things that I have an affinity for because that's what a weakness in the real world is, right? I don't have to describe how horrible my character actually is because this is my blog and I can do what I want.
  1. Fruit flavored soda
  2. < $5 sunglasses (Oh YEAH wink)
  3. Polite men
  4. Books
  5. Diy projects
