today
i had a delicious breakfast today. the gringo breakfast from bear tooth; bacon, potatoes, eggs, and two slices of sourdough bread with strawberry jam. it's the best ever.
i woke up at 10, went to get a lotus and to the ups store. then i went to the hole look to buy new earrings for my 3rd lobe piercings. reagen was there, which was nice. i bought tiny hoops and went home to put them in. they hadn't closed thankfully! and they feel just fine. i was worried last night for no reason. i much prefer the hoops over the earrings than the short posts that i had before.
i went to target and bought mac russian red lipstick and a new thermos. some pens, and a pack of two sheer black tights. i went home, fell asleep after alec left to play volleyball / gym at 4 pm and i woke up at 8 when he came home. i can't believe i slept so long. i bought two shoes off of poshmark and depop; i bought brown airwalk mary janes and lower east side black mary janes. i've been really liking leather mary janes lately. i have a pair of converse mary jane flats but that's it. i kind of wanted doc martens but i wasn't sure; i need to go the store and try them on first to see. if so i might just thrift some when i find a pair that comes up for sale in the future.
i work friday and saturday. i took sunday off to see a play with my family but i guess that's not happening anymore. i might try to pick up a shift, i don't really have high hopes for that but we'll see.
after i woke up alec and i went to pho lena and ate pho and curry. we went to the store and i bought apples, oranges, kombucha. then we came home and i folded laundry.
i'm pretty tired still.
i don't mind the minivan but it uses up so much gas. i went through a whole tank in just 5 days. i don't know how many gallons it holds. i'll find out when i go to the gas station tomorrow....
it was really sunny and nice out today. the temperature was in the 30s, i think. i'm just patiently waiting for summer. i really miss the warmth of the sun. i know i always write this. obviously the sun is sill out there, but it's not the same feeling. winter sun is bright, the air is crisp and clean... but i want to lay on the grass, close my eyes, and feel the rays of the sun on my eyelids.
the wedding is in two weeks. it's been so long since i've been to a wedding. i heard one of my sisters isn't coming... dunno if that's true, but that's a little sad. i heard the fur rondy start got moved to fairbanks due to safety concerns.. not enough snow, which is unfortunate. when the race starts in anchorage, some of the trail goes behind people's houses and you can watch the mushers from backyards (such as my aunt's house which backs a forest.)
i made an appointment to get my conch piercing resized on march 4. i got it pierced on jan 22. i have my rental car at least until march 8... hopefully not later than that but the auto shop didn't give me an exact date... my charges are going to be like, $700 for the rental car fees and such, and $250 for my deductible for the auto shop... my insurance is paying for $1,000 for the rental car and $6,000 for the damages. other than that, nothing really exciting going on. i have to pay my credit card by the 23rd, my car insurance on the 28th ($170). i get paid on the 27th. i really should try to pick up that shift on sunday. the next sunday i'm off because of the wedding.
honestly, i'm not too worried about the money.. in the summer, as long as i don't spend all or more of what i make, i'll easily be able to pay off everything, and then in august or september, hopefully i can rent an apartment, and maybe eventually go back to school.. i don't know for what.. or just try to figure out what i want to do. in the end, it doesn't really matter though. i mean. we just die, and you never know what's going to become of you in the future. so might as well have fun while we are alive. it's really useless worrying.
