I know I'm blessed to live without the have to when it comes to having a paying job.
I work because it's nice to have the extra money for the extra special things. Like a gaming laptop - on the list and the fund is started! We're all three being careful consumers for this purchase, Scotty and Hayden knowing their game needs & my request: I'd like to buy from a *person* instead of from a store... yeah, everyone agrees, except the folks who are reselling their computers - they paid a lot of money for their machines not long ago; chances are, I can purchase more, new, for less money, from Mr. Box Store. With a warranty. So, while I'd love this purchase to pay someone's mortgage, I'm thinking I need to make peace with a new corporately purchased totally awesome computer, in the next month or so... and think it saved someone's job.
To compensate, I'm scouring Craigslist for my new bike... I found this one
which really is right up my alley... the price has dropped 21$ in the last few days... I may just call him up and offer 75$ and see what he says ;) (Was 120$, now advertised for 99$). It is pretty dang cute. Cantcha see me and the Big Black Dog out for our daily constitutionals (and there's a place for the poop bags!) ? And yes, I am getting one of those U lock thingiedoos.
Ah! Which leads to a whole 'nother conversation. I've been moving. Like amazing amounts of movement in my life (it's all relative). Walking the dog, yeah, and there's the bus stop and campus and the stairs AND I went to fat lady yoga the other night. Paid for the whole month, for which I am so grateful to be able to do ♥ I think it's the best chick date in the universe! It's more introspective, no wait, I was surprised by the sensation of the introspection. Yeah. More accurate. Even I didn't have the temptation to be anywhere but right there in the moment, the movement, the stretch of Who I Am. There's a Hot Yoga place down the street, it'd be nice to just pop down the street for yoga... though I'm not necessarily ditching my family to work just so I can afford to ditch my family for yoga... I think I'll stick with the once a week women's gathering and perhaps take up a practice of my own. Me and Charlie ♥ In my new clothes :::grumble, grumble, grumble::: I'm not working to buy new clothes! Lucky for me, I inherited a pile of comfy (and work appropriate) clothing that, while just now beginning to slide off of me, I can use Aunt Karna's Magic to alter them :)
And right this very moment, I'm gonna appreciate the walking of the dog, listening to Sue Grafton (R)... knowing that, by golly, Life is Good.
