Title pretty much says it all. I actually woke up feeling like I got a solid amount of sleep last night (though i can't imagine myself getting more than 7 hours) and that definitely made me feel I started it off on the right foot. Initially got to work and was a bit short on work till the databases refreshed which allowed me spend the rest of the day working away on forms. Since yesterday I started listening to 'The Hobbit', ready by Robert Ingles, and its been fantastic so far. The singing reminds me of something out of a disney film and I'll most likely actually sit down and read it once I finish listening to it in the near future. During lunch break I was unsuccessful at finding a JCP near West End so I settled for getting gas and grabbing a sugar cookie from WaWa for lunch.
Once the work day was over I stopped by my mom's place to grab my federal return which overall is about as much as I had estimated, though actually having the check now is making me a bit flustered about what I want to do with it, spend, save or both. I've found that recently (and for a good portion of life tbh) I've enjoyed saving money so spending it doesn't 'feel' right. Equally I can't think of much to spend it on aside from board games and well of course today cloths.
This was the first time I had been cloth shopping in about 3 years. Sure on occasions such as Christmas or my B-day I would get clothes but nothing on such a scale/levels of shopping that I did today. At work the dress code is casual though I've been dressing formal for a good bit partly due to habit and trying to save money which I did an excellent job last month. I thought about saving money this month but I realized that with the federal and the excess expenditures from the new position that I could well...'live a little'. So I bought myself a pair of khakis, 2 jeans, some dress socks, boxers and...that's about it. The total was a bit much but I had a $50 gift card so that chopped off a bit. Not to mention I had budgeted for potentially $200 so I was way under my original expectations.
With shopping complete I went out to grab food and then make my way to hang out with friends and play Rock Band 3. Similar to all the other genres in its series its more of the same with playing instruments and singing songs with friends. To be honest I was glad to just to hang out with people as I don't get to do it but so often and on special occasions. Good times were had. I should have left earlier so I could get a bit more sleep but I stayed as long as I wish to.
I did get a quick shock as I forgot to turn the lights off on my car as I was listening to NPR while consuming food, but it started right up so no worries. Once I got back home did my budget cringed a bit and shrugged it off as I decided this month was a bit of give and take budget wise and realized in the upcoming weeks I can still meet my budget goals.
As for tomorrow not much planned except maybe listen to more 'The Hobbit' when I get home or read '1984' don't plan to stay up late and going to catch up on sleep so I can make sbos Saturday morning. Should be good fun. Anywho I want at least 5 hours tonight so I'm off to bed night all!.
