Such A Pittance

****

I'm so lazy. My first day off (that I didn't already have
something to do), in I don't know how long, and I spent it
laying in bed avoiding housework. Snookums was wonderful.
He tried to get me out of bed, but by 1pm decided it was
futile and gave up trying. He did all the housework on his
own and entertained Kiki (who stayed home because I
couldn't bear to drop her off at daycare and listen to her
cry if I didn't have to). I hid under the covers. I needed
a mental health day, so I took it, now I feel better.

Snookums, Kiki and I went to Starbucks here in Port
Orchard this afternoon, before we picked Annie up from
school. I don't like the Starbucks here. It's a drive thru
one, so it's loud, busy and lacks the comfy, quiet
ambiance the Poulsbo and Silverdale branches possess.
Starbucks just isn't the same without Gen, anyway. I also
came to the realization that I can never go back to
drinking milk. I accidentally took a sip of Snookums'
breve Caramel Macchiato and nearly gagged. It was so thick
and syrupy and had an almost salty quality to it. It's
hard to believe I used to like them so much. I'll
definitely be stickingto my soy lattes!

I got a child support check today. I think it's absurdly
rediculous that my stepfather pays $25 a month in child
support. That doesn't even cover half of what we spend on
her lunch money for a month. One pair of shoes or jeans
generally costs that much and the girl has a closet full.
It's not that we NEED the money. I wasn't even the one who
demanded he pay child support. That was the state's doing.
I just find it rediculous that since he is being made to
pay it, its such a pittance. I spend more at Starbucks in
a week. I won't complain though. At least Annie is getting
something. I'll have something to give her from her father
when she comes of age.

I think I'll go do some crossword puzzles. I need to work
on my brain function. I'm forgetting stuff a lot lately.
My brain needs exercise. Much like my ass does. Seriously
though, I need to get back in gear with my workouts, for
sure. I haven't been putting forth the right kind of
effort and I'm eating more and not being mindful of what
I'm eating. I'll get back on track... As of tomorrow! It's
so hard when Snookums is home. No excuses. I just need to
do it...Ciao!
