it’s just you and me and the rain<\/i><\/p>\n
Whacked the alarm one too many times this morning, including the backup alarm. Got up at 8:05, threw something on as I toasted muffins and spread peanut butter across them. Drove to work, radio blaring jazz, right hand on the steering wheel, left hand holding the muffin. Experienced the usual gamut of tailgaters and generally incompetent Chapel Hill drivers. Arrived at work just before 8:30. Answered emails and got started on the corrections for the Spring issue of Around the Hill. Got a meeting with Scott at 10 to hammer out a production schedule for the maps webpage redesign. I need to make a trip to the bank and the post office over lunch.<\/p>\n
My eyes are burning with tiredness. I don’t know why I go to bed so late… It’s ridiculous any way you slice it.<\/p>\n
Last evening was amazingly productive, though. Did laundry, cleaned up, paid all my bills, took care of all the various papers and such lying around the apartment (well, the ones that were mine, at least), and just generally got organized. Renewed my to-do list and formulated a plan for dealing with finances. I’m going to be on top of this; there’s no doubt. I’m going to know exactly where I stand financially at any time, and exactly what I can afford. I’m going to save money in the little things, spend more frugally, and really save money overall. This is really it. No more slacking from here on out.<\/p>\n
