Did I positively need those two beautiful pair of earrings, on sale for 25% off, the one pair two hues of blue and the other, an intense combination of my favorite limey green and deep turquoise?
In a word, no. However, they’re beautiful and on sale and well, I’m quite happy with them.
Now, that said, I have to get out of here and in order to do that, two things need to happen: I need to find a new job and I need to save enough money to sustain myself for a little while and to afford another move.
So…things to stop buying…I need to cut down on the coffee expenditures, also muffins. Too many lunches out, too many groceries wasted. I can use Emily’s extra umbrella until I can buy one; I can wear the shoes I have until my adorable lime flats go on sale; I can shop more smartly for the things I really do need…it’s gametime now, for a little while.
Cross your fingers, though, that I find something, please?

...in fact, I have probably never had less clarity. =/
I know I’m putting too much faith in the power of a clean shirt, but Opening Day is tomorrow. April is now official and while it may be the cruelest month, it’s also the month that signifies the end of the year for me. I’ve lived too long by a semester calendar, I realize, but as such, I’ve also taken the warming months to signal the end of something and the beginning of something much calmer.
May I remember this more often.
