|2:29 PM| Saw the Doc, Saw my mom, I reacted well. It could have been worse. I didn't even raise my voice, and I didn't leave. Not that I would do such immature things but I had no idea what to expect.
I need a haircut, that's on today's agenda. Laundry is apparently on there is well, since I'm wearing my last shirt and I just spent the morning helping Vorpal move a bunch of stuff. I kind of felt akward, I was tipped pretty well for my time. I wanted to say "Nah, it's okay, he's my friend" but geez, at this point I'm really not going to turn down cash. Even if I might turn around and blow it on something stupid. My friends don't really understand why I'm worried about my finacial situation yet I turn around and blow relatively large sums of cash on weird things. At this point, I can take what money I have, go to the people that need this money, and I toss it down the deep dark well that has been dug for it, and have nothing. The affect on my debts would be negligible. Or I can keep that money and do something that relieves the stress of my situation and the affect on my debts is still negligible. Until things change at work, there's not very much I can do anymore, so I might as well enjoy myself.


Ever do something that in hindsight you realize was ill-advised at best? Even though in the past you've watched other people do the exact same thing and immediately seen the negative side of it all, and wonder why they don't? Well, live and learn I guess. I assume when you're in the thick of poor decision making or what not it sometimes becomes difficult to detach yourself from the situation and judge your actions. Hopefully I can function as a human being a little better. I fear the price of this particular lesson may be incredibly high, though.


Time to defend the donuts.
