Dec. 29th, 2015 10:30 amWoke up to an email from Jungle Tribe, they're sending me a replacement leg strap at no cost! (Which in a perfect world will work fine, I really hope I'm right about that particular manufacturing defect on the clip. I think I am.) Got ahold of health insurance, yes the account information is changing but they're sending me the paperwork this week and I have a 90 day grace period so all I have to do is pay January's premium when I get it, February's premium when I would normally pay it, i.e. with the upcoming paycheck, so that's fine. I do have to call the pharmacy again and see if they were able to get one more refill for my birth control out of my doctor before my prescription benefits change with my insurance plan, argh. So that might be a series of phone calls I have to make today, but that's not so bad. And then my hair appointment. SO. Okay, then. This day is actually starting out better than yesterday ended up, that's promising.
Didn't get exercises or Japanese entirely done, but I can finish that at work and when I get home, so I guess there's that. And the news and this country (US) isn't any less horrible than it was yesterday, but I'm at least feeling more hopeful about being able to change my part of it. And I guess that's all I can do.
Things to do today: copy and color some notes in chem and physics, edits. Finish yesterday and today's writing. Possibly do some of the Justice lessons, depending on how busy work is. I know outgoing wasn't left too bad but incoming is kind of horrendous, so that ought to be fun. So, basically, though, my usual stuff plus some copying over of notes and a couple online courses, that's not so bad.
(Not that any of this is helping the nervous jitters? Surge of energy? Something's going on in my head that's making my brain all jumbled as far as thinking goes. I dislike it and wish it would go away.)
Budget for the next month or so will be tight ish, though at least that's less due to me overspending and more due to just, these couple of weeks are surprisingly slow as if to counter the Christmas rush. And my credit card balance is way way down, and I should have enough in my budget to do all the things I want to do, including get my hair indulged, SO. I just have to remember I can't in fact indulge in any comfort spending like I really, really wanted to do yesterday. Even a $20 purchase of more pencils and types of lead. That way lies a cascade. No. I can always indulge in comfort anime-and-knitting, or comfort fucking-off-and-reading instead! I have endless books and yarn. And a Netflix/Hulu's worth of anime.
And. That seems to be phone calls taken care of, so I guess it's time to continue getting to work. And remembering to breathe. The breathing is important. One thing at a time, slow and steady goes the race, and the courtesan's chief virtue is Timing.
