Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Confidence Is Such A Beautiful Thing
****
I've been home from work for almost two hours. I don't
know how the time flew by so fast, but it has. I've been
procrastinating. Writing e-mails and messing around on
myspace. Which isn't good. It means I won't get to bed
until late and then I'll be tired tomorrow. Snookums has
duty tonight and when he's not home I stay up late. It's a
bad habit I have to break before I start suffering from
self-induced sleep deprivation.
I straightened up the house today, but that's all I really
accomplished. I don't feel bad about it. It's not like I
set out to accomplish much and failed. I just didn't
expect much of myself today. I gave myself a break. I love
being an adult. If I don't want to do my chores, I don't
have to :)
This entry is scatter-brained. I've got literary ADD or
something, I don't know. I've got a few topics I could
write about, but I don't know what's worth the effort,
where I should start or how I should put it. I went from
having no deep thoughts to too many.
I worked tonight. It was okay. It didn't start out so
great (not because of any work issues. It was something
totally unrelated). Before heading to work, I stopped by
the mini-mart to get a bottle of water, an Odwalla bar and
a pack of gum. A grand total of $3.07. My card was "not
authorized". It wasn't declined, it just wouldn't
authorize. The lady knows me, so she overrode it and
accepted my card anyway. I tried to take out money, the
ATM said "transaction has been terminated". I was getting
worried. I needed money to pay the sitter. Not to mention
it was like reliving April all over again (back when they
detected imaginary fraud on my account and cancelled all
my cards). So, I spent the first 20 minutes of my shift in
the office going back and forth with Navy Federal trying
to figure out why there was a stop on my account. Again.
This time it was because they couldn't verify my address.
I don't know what the hell they're talking about. I live
on government property, there's no reason for them to be
questioning the validity of my address. I've lived here
for almost a full year and they've never been able to send
me anything (statements, cards, checks. It's a mystery). I
have to go pick everything up at the bank. So, they tried
to send me some loan documents (I just finished paying off
a consumer loan last month), the documents got sent back
and they stopped my account. I hate Navy Federal. I got
the stop lifted so I could access my money, but I still
need to fix the address issue. Other than having a rocky
start, work was great.
I'm feeling pretty today. Upon urging from Snookums, I've
been wearing my hair down more and I'm getting a lot of
compliments on it. A few days ago I put a glossing
treatment in it and it's so shiny and soft :) All of my
life I've fought against my ethnic hair. I hated that it
was curly, poofy, frizzy, not straight. Anything negative
you can imagine. Even if it wasn't necessarily true. Now
I'm starting to be more comfortable with it. Probably
because I'm much more comfortable with myself over-all.
Confidence is such a beautiful thing.
Alright. I think I'll retire to bed now. It's almost
midnight. Ciao and goodnight.
