Another day, another disappointment...
So obviously I didn’t get the job, it’s pretty much a given w/ the tittle... I’m disappointed pretty much 85% and relieved w/ the other 15 %. But good news is I have 2 other callbacks from other fine dining places. 1 is about 20 minutes closer and located going in the opposite direction of majority of the traffic. Overall my day was pretty productive and filled with a lot of cleaning, nothing special at all...
I’m trying out something new, I have my thoughts all organized. This session will be about me reducing stress w/ window shopping, how I might be adding a foodie blog (surprise surprise), and my obsession with putting things off last minute.
Just know I’m dying a little inside, and I’ve already wasted at least 20 something minutes just trying to focus .... It’s like my brain flipped a switch right when I started that last paragraph. I’m not even thinking about anything, definitely not nada I had planned on going over... I guess this is what it feels like when guys say they’re thinking about “nothing”. If I could control the timing of this state of mind, I could use it to relax... But sadly it did not last, however after it passed I was left w/ the feeling of emptiness.
Not a depressing emptiness more like I just lost all interest in anything at the moment.
Any-who, moving right along, even though this blog is fffaarr from successful, or even meaningful besides the minor relief & joy I personally get from writing it... I really enjoy window shopping but never make it to the mall anymore. So I’m going to combine the two and add on an Amazon Wishlist. I’m not begging anyone to buy anything, but I would be crazy to pass up the opportunity to accept free sh!t. I’m just keeping it real *Kanye shrug*, and it gives you the opportunity to support a young struggling family & mom fighting to hold on to her sanity.
But honestly, it gives me an excuse to make a wishlist. I love making list for one, and there are tons of stuff I see & think I ought to get this... Or more like I ought to remember to get this when I can afford it. There’s just something magical & fun about making a list & hoping to get something off of it. It’s kind of almost like sipping on child-like innocence and feeling the joy of X-Mas again. So I’m definitely looking forward to it, I’ve been a window shopper my whole life.
Even when I have the money I normally never buy myself anything. I go weeks and up to years before ever really buying something I truly want. For example, I have an iPhone 6 because my mom gave it to me as a gift when my phone wore out and died (as in it wouldn’t turn back on, period) back in 2013. It’s almost 2020 and I’m still using this old @ss brick, I hate this phone, it runs slower than molasses, barely holds a charge, and never has any memory ... But despite all the reasons to trash it, here I am holding on to it and making it work. (I carry 2 battery banks with me at all times and a 10 ft long charging cable). I know exactly which new phone I would love to replace it with, and I’ve been to 3 different stores and checked out everything. I even watched Youtube videos and read full-length articles over the phone I actually want. For some reason though, I just struggle with buying myself stuff.
It’s not even because of how tight our finances are either. I’ve been this way since I can remember, I’m a hardcore saver at heart. I’m that person who will buy a juice they love and cut it with water to make it last longer. For some odd reason, I hang on to every dollar like it’s my last, and I squeeze pennies until they burst. I’ve gone without and cut back to extremes, just to save for specific things I wanted. That’s on top of having a savings, and living under a budget.
Maybe it’s a control thing, maybe my control issues are way deeper than I realize. Plus with this discomfort of struggling financially for the first time added in w/ fears of failing as a parent... I’m losing my mind and bursting mentally every time I have to do the math over the cost of anything. Talk about depressing, I remember being pregnant and almost crying because I couldn’t buy both tuna & turkey sandwich meet. ... Well actually I did cry ... after I got back home, I just thought about crying the whole time I was in the store. This was with also being on WIC. Talk about culture shock meets the death of my pride.
So yea me making a list of items I hope to own one day is something I can afford to do and control. It’s exciting and something I will look forward to, and hopefully, I can look forward to opening some of those items as well lol.
Moving on to a more fun topic, FOOD! Like most humans I love food and but I can only be in a relationship w/ food that loves me. Occasionally I cheat here and there but it never spins out of control. On top of loving food, I truly enjoy cooking and baking, mostly baking because I have a sweet tooth. But awhile back I became a full out Vegan for a whole yr, and then I shifted into a lifestyle of being mostly Vegan. I love love love llllllooooovvveee LOVE delicious vegan food. It’s like instead of cheating you found a way to upgrade the old and boring usual... For me, it’s like having a genius dork who has the body of a God, and the swag of a Bad boy... For you, it’s like everything that you’re attracted to in one. ( Sorry my brain is fried, *hillbilly accent* it ... does... not ..work too good, soo late).
Back on track, as part of my mission to be one of the Best MILFS ever... I obviously must be able to throw down in the Kitchen duh! Plus I just love food I don’t actually need a reason but it helps. I already make a few things from scratch, but my overall goal is to be able to make all my favorite dishes from scratch, organic, and as vegan as possible. So far it’s been really enjoyable and everything has turned out extremely f#ckin’ delicious, but costly sometimes.
I made myself a chocolate whip, chocolate chip cookie pie for a birthday of mines once. The ingredients all together cost well over $25. I don’t know about you but I’ve never had a pie that cost more than maybe $12-13. But it was divine and I even got to share it with my super picky @ss associates. Creating, exploring, and actually physically baking it was super fun and almost the best part outside of eating it. So I guess if I chalk up, learning experience, fun activity, and obtaining desert all into the equation, then I guess $25 isn’t too much??
Then there’s the last topic... putting things off, like this post. You would not believe me at all on how long it took me to drag this out of my soul. For some reason, I put things off that takes little to no effort to accomplish. Prime example I’ve been needing my tire’s air checked to the point that you can just see they’re low. But to add fuel to the fire, I’ve also prolonged getting gas to the point, that I’m confident my gas light will turn on... before I can even pull out the neighboorhood tomorrow. I stay less than a mile away from the nearest exit so that should draw you a visual.
Why?
..........¿Por qué?
I DON’T F#CKIN’ KNOW! I can only blame control issues, and I guess some part of me is self-sabotaging. The craziest theory my brain has cooked up is that the white (I’m all mixed up) in me needs adrenaline spikes and living on the edge. The whole world knows how white ppl love doing crazy @ss sh!t, swimming w/ sharks, jumping out of planes, Nascar, talking crazy to the police, eating rare steaks, etc. etc. etc. Don’t get me wrong you can find people of all backgrounds & colors doing this crazy sh!t. But these areas are predominantly full of White ppl.
The craziest thing I’m doing now-a-days is just this, driving around all week w/ barely any gas or air. This is a lame example but it also just proves my point. I do this w/ stuff that literally takes almost no time to fix. Like paying a bill... I won’t wait till it’s due but I will wait about 2-3 days before it’s due. Why? I can’t tell you, all my bills are written in bright @ss pink ink on my big @ss calendar. They are also set on reminders to my calendars on my cellie... So trust and believe me when I tell you they are constantly staring me down.
But every month as another one comes up, and even when I have more than enough to pay for it.... Here I am just waiting. It’s like I’m waiting for the sky to fall or something. It’s hard to explain because honestly, my brain will yell at every time I see a bill coming up, “PAY IT ALREADY!” . But nope, I then respond w/ ehh I’m going to I’m going to...
It’s like when the trash overfills and you take it out the trashcan and tie it up. But then you just leave it there to stare you down every time you walk into the kitchen. It makes way more sense to just go ahead and take it out immediately after tieing it up.
All I can say is I’m aware it’s an issue and I am actually trying to be proactive at doing better. But for some hard reason, the simplest things can be the most taxing things for me to do sometimes. I have no f#ckin’ clue why I only understand it just is.
Alrighty then, well that will do it for this sess. I took way too inconceivably long to get through this lol... I think too much time looking for GIFs, and obviously, I gave up altogether. Eh w/e.
MORAL OF THE SESS: “Stick to your guns and work sh!t out. We all need help sometimes so don’t allow your pride to hold you back. But also don’t wait too long before things are irreversible. Do more things that bring your pleasure, and constantly be improving yourself. “.
