Putting A Stop To It

****

Maybe if I stop telling myself to go to bed early, I'll
surprise myself and just do it. That's it. I'll perform
reverse psychology on myself. Last night despite feeling
very certain I would go to bed early, I didn't. Instead I
stayed up until after 3am. I still had to get up at 8am,
of course. So, I'm very tired now and it's nobody's fault
but my own. I wish Snookums was here to make me go to bed
at 11pm. Never was I more well-rested than when he was
here those three months in a row.

I'm a little peeved with housing. Yesterday I went out and
swept all of my patios and walkways. Then this morning
they cleaned the gutters and dumped all the nasty shit
inside right back down on my clean sidewalks and patios.
It wasn't just leaves and pine needles it was straight
compost. The stuff had been in there for so long and had
built up so much that the leaves had decayed into a pseudo-
mud-like consistency. It's nasty. It's too wet to sweep
right now, it just pushes around. So I have to live with
it until it dries out enough to be swept up. I think it
was a very inconsiderate thing to do, especially when
Resident Satisfaction Surveys are due soon. I will be
complaining about this on my survey.

I spent $346.13 at the Commissary today. I got fed up with
not having the usual staples in the house, so I alleviated
that problem. I realized that I hadn't gone grocery
shopping since the 15th of last month. Whenever we ran out
of something, we either got it at the mini-mart or ate
out. Which is a horrible habit and I'm putting a stop to
it. The house is stocked now and I feel much better.

Not all of the food is for our general consumption. I'm
having a little get-together on Saturday. I've befriended
some of the other Stennis wives and we're getting together
to hang out. I hope it will be fun. I've always avoided
getting to know other Navy wives, but after the way I
behaved last deployment, I want to have a little more
accountability around when I start feeling weak. Not just
infidelity, but shopping too much, too. I racked up some
serious credit card bills and I don't want to do that
again.

I think I'm ready for bed. I've got a splitting headache
and my eyes hurt. They've been open too much the past
week. I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow. I have to get
the house in company-worthy condition. Ciao.
