Pity Party is Over

Current mood: bearmood — determined determined
Sorry about that outburst yesterday. Blame it on NyQuil withdrawl, my menstrual cycle and the lack of sunshine due to the snow

I'm feeling a whole lot better today. It helps that the sun is out! I'm still totally broke, but I know I'll get through this all somehow (I always do) and I'll be better in the end for it. Finally got my butt in gear and turned in the Starbucks app today that I had meant to do last Monday. Hopefully I'll hear something soon. As soon as I get home from work this afternoon, I'll put up a bunch of junk on ebay.

I'm feeling pretty industrious today. I started cleaning off my desk looking for a receipt for a battery core I need to return (I still had receipts from last Christmas on it). I went to Discount Tire and got the nails out of my front tires so I can quit wasting change on air machines. My friend Nina had me try Tazo Chai when I turned in the app and I really liked it. I've cut a few tiles for my backsplash. Today is turning to be a decent day, I think.

The only really bad thing is that there is a horrible burning plastic smell coming from my car. I ran over a shopping bag on the highway a couple of days ago and I thought it had gotten caught under there. I looked under my car and didn't see it. Marcus thinks it is probably melted on the top of my catalytic converter. With the snow on the ground, there is no way anyone can crawl under there to see. I'll have to wait for it all to burn off or have my mechanic look at it when I get the money to get my brakes fixed. In the meantime, the smell is making me nauseous. Ewwww.

Well, I'd better get to work so I can get back home and get more stuff accomplished. Go, me!
