sherman loves pandora and i'm sick or day 169

last week, i made a budget and damn if i haven't followed it. it's been a little tight this week, but ultimately, this will lead to...wait for it...not getting an overdraft fee! so, not to count my chickens before they hatch, it would seem that i will successfully make it through 2 pay periods with no fees. if my plan works, things should start looking up financially by the end of september and i can start doing things (also on the list) like replace my windshield and buy a new mattress. oh and maybe some new shoes and clothes, since i've been wearing the same everything for too long.

another future purchase will be a rowing machine. since i can't seem to find a class that i can take, i started pricing rowers to buy. i found a rower that i've used before for $350, which is pretty reasonable. i'm hoping to get that by late fall/early winter.

last week, i had set 3 goals for myself to accomplish and i managed 2 of them: i did paper one of the canvases i bought and hung it in my room. i still have the other one to do and think i might even get to that this week. i also cleaned the hell out of my living room. there was dusting and ceiling cobweb removal involved. it still needs a little more organizing, but i feel i did enough to list it as a finished goal. i did not exerbycle. this week for sure!

now, if you don't mind, i'm going to go home early and get back in bed.
