Slow Ride

I filled up my gas tank today for a little over $16.

I wish this was reflective of my financial savings in other areas.

I've had to tell everyone this year that Christmas is not really an option. What with the shifts I've been getting at work (almost completely lunches), I can barely afford to pay my own bills and rent let alone purchase gifts for family and friends.

I've even thought about getting a second job when the semester's over. Maybe work at a bookstore. The discount would be nice, the quiet would be nicer, and any down time when I could possibly read or do school work would be lovely.

So everyone is just getting a hug this year.

Things have been really strange lately.

I wish I had time to think. Or maybe I'm glad I don't.
