*Note to self..never try to hurry a batch of chocolate chip cookies. When the butter is too warm it melts the chocolate..and they become Chocolate chocolate chips cookies.*
Hey, they tasted ok, but I felt they were not really what I wanted to share with work. Good thing there is not too many of them....*burp*, oh..excuse me. Nah, I am pulling your leg...I cannot do chocolate or coffee after early evening..it will prevent me from sleeping..found that out the hard way when I have been tempted before. There is nothing worse then not sleeping when you need to, and then fretting further because you cannot fall asleep...argh.
Christmas at work was about as I expected. Not so full a house as we normally have, but busier than a weekday. I still had folks that had to be walked out (3) and reports of property damage to complete.
(Note- I will catch him...it's the same guy each time. We just cannot get a clear picture yet nor have caught him in the act..he's quick to escape... plays fast, dumps his liquid on the validators, and then gets out of Dodge. Grr!)
I'll be back tomorrow for another shift on Christmas day. It is pretty much a typical weekend night for Gilly and I. He yells at me for being away so long, I apologize, and we settle down for a few minutes before sleep. Oh, and he pouts, pretty good pouting job for a cat too.
It's getting harder and harder to make it to next pay day lately, the ol'bank account gets pretty darn low. I can feel me scraping the ground and crossing my fingers. I really do not like having to worry that I have no back up means of taking care of emergencies. The electric bill did not get paid last month because a creditor demanded money or they would sue, and that was for only a small amount of what I owe, $56. That drained me low enough that I was not able to pay. I'm hanging in there and praying, and hoping a roommate can be available soon. I don't expect it will make me wealthy, but it might leave a little breathing room, and lesson my loneliness. I don't go out for fun, I have not bought myself anything in the way of clothes for a damn long time, and just getting my hair cut gets questionable. At the food store I go into shock at the register, and that is only getting what is needed and maybe one meat meal a week.
I know I might be kidding myself, but I am hoping and praying that 2012 will bring some much needed relief to people like myself who are barely getting by. I don't care what the economic experts say about taxing the wealthy and their blah blah about how that will just hurt us further. They obviously must not be living in a world where buying hamburger is something you wonder if you can afford. Too many people struggle to just get by, making it worse will only increase the amount of state aid that will be needed.
Sorry, it's Christmas and I am fussing and farting over finances, apologies to my readers. I wish you all a joy filled and peaceful Christmas, and a New Year that will shed it's light on us All.
