Good Mornthing! [20190307]
7/3/19 07:32It occurred to me that it was getting mildly difficult to track which mornthing post people were commenting on, when checking notifications in my inbox, so I'm trying out a date tag in the subject/headline box to see if that helps me keep things all straightened out.
Birthday time for the lad yesterday was a Huge Success! There was only one thing-present for him, because snowstorm wonked my shopping-with-siblings plans, but it was a thoughtful gift that he very much liked, which is the kind of gift he liked. For post-cake evening plans he had the option of several activities, most of which were solo-with-mom things, but he opted for the whole family to go to the arcade. We all had a blast playing things, and everybody gave him their tickets.
SALM in particular is quite skilled at hitting the jackpot on certain ticket-bearing games, so this was really quite excellent for the boy.
Today is payday, and I have blown through all of the bill-paying I need to do this cycle, AND socked money into Savings, AND....still have money left over? WHAT SORCERY is THIS?! I've heard that being poor for a long time can lead to one's spending habits generally going one of two ways, one being that when you get a sum of monies in hand you spend it right away one things that will stick around before the money vanishes, or you turn downright miserly with it. I think I am largely having a tendency to the latter, with brief little bouts of the former.
Although I still haven't picked out a fountain pen.
I have such a complicated and perhaps not completely healthy relationship with my own finances. There's probably a post about that at some point.
But now: WORK, Long Day edition. 10 hours. much productive. very capitalism. wow.
