Happy Valentine's Day, buddies!
I had a good weekend - mostly spent it sleeping and playing the Sims 2. I know that sounds weird but it really clears my mind out to marathon game once in a while. It's kind of a mental reset for me because if I get so involved in something I forget everything that's bothering me and when I go back to the world I'm refreshed.
This morning, I found the best valentine I could've hoped for - the 3 weeks of unemployment I was due! For those keeping track, my last day at my job was Jan 14th and I filed that day but had to go through a whole thing before my claim was approved. For some reason the first two weeks were sent to me on a pre-paid debit card and the third was direct deposited like I asked. Once I figured that out, I went to the bank this morning to move the two weeks from the debit card to my checking account. My tax refund (both federal and state) came in the last week or so, so I'm not flat broke anymore which is a huge relief.
I'm not going to go buy anything really with the refund money. I used one part of it to pay for my health insurance (and I'm now covered until September! Yay!) but beyond that, I'm going to sock some away for rainy days/summer classes. So far, my savings has held up - I had to borrow from it for the rent/health insurance but now that I got those checks this morning I was able to put it back into the various accounts - general savings and tuition fund. (I have to have separate accounts otherwise I'll never have the right amount.)
Anyway, so with that all squared away I'm in a great mood today - even if it's Valentine's Day and I'm single. I mean, sure it'd be nice to have the right guy in my life but as I constantly remind myself that just because someone's in a relationship/married doesn't mean it's a good or right one. I'm single because I'm waiting for the right person, I'm waiting for love. If I really really wanted to be married, I'm sure I could find someone but I don't want to be married to JUST be married (or to have a wedding.) Even unemployed, I can financially support myself, this isn't like 1940 where young women HAD to get married to have any kind of independent life.
Okay, time to send out some job applications and then do some studying before class tonight. Might try to squeeze in a walk since it seems that my favorite walking trail might finally be clear of snow (I can see ground in a lot of places when I look out the window)
Affirmations for today:
1) Being alone doesn't necessarily mean being lonely
2) It's better to wait for what's right instead of settle for what's there
3) The quickest path between two points isn't always a straight line
4) Change your thoughts, change your habits, change your mind, change your body, change your life.
