THE TWELFTH DAY

The good thing about working? I can usually count on spending little money.

As I STILL have no breakfast foods on hand (I really need to pick up some granola bars!!!), I went to work STARVING. I finally decided to walk across the street to the locally-owned coffee shop and by SOMETHING. I got a muffin (A BIG ONE) for a mere $1.50, but then I tipped the tip jar $1, as I usually pay on card and don't leave a tip (they'd have to report it to the IRS). I figure I'll just leave relatively large cash tips whenever I can.

I went "out" for lunch, but I had already assumed that was going to happen. I stopped at Quizno's and picked up one of their OVER-PRICED, yet delicious sandwiches. I need to remember to order the SMALL and not the REGULAR next time. That little trick gets me every time!

After work, I cleaned out my closet. I now have one bag of trash and three bags of clothes/shoes to donate. I need to get all my old dishes together, too, and donate them. I don't need as many dishes as I have, especially with moving into Nick's house. This summer, I bought a 4 piece set for four people, and that's probably all I need. But you can NEVER have too many glasses!!!

Later, I talked to my sister and was able to get some more of my belongings off my hand. She's gonna take my extra stereo (w/ 8 track/record . . . I already have an 8 track and record player!!!) and all my parents' 8 tracks. SWEET. It was my Dad's teenage stereo, and I couldn't really bear the thought of giving it away to someone else (my grandparents had it set up in their spare room for all of our childhood until they acquired greatgrandma's stereo after she died).

Then, I got a sweet tooth. But instead of driving to the store, I gathered up change I had and walked down to the gas station. WELL PLAYED.
