Journal Entry for January 7, 2008 Mood
Monday, January 7, 2008
today we took down the Christmas decorations.  that was a little bittersweet.  It was such a good holiday. and now it is over.  My dad is out buying me cigarettes because I can not afford to pay for them.  I still haven't received a disability check.  I bet I won't.  I will not see any money until i start my new job.  That is hard for me.  If I would have known that this was going to happen, I would not have spent all the money I did buying Christmas presents, and all the high end skin care I bought for my New Year's resolution, which was to use products that will make me feel better about myself, and not feel like I am just covering up imperfections, but for the imperfections to not be there.  It is all working great, but if I would have known I would be down to nothing in the account, I would have never done it.  My counselor told me not to beat myself up because I was doing things to improve myself, and to feel better about me.  And I do know that one way or another, money always works itself out.  But, I'm not used to not having any, that's for sure.  Not sure how I'm feeling today, I guess I am happy I have such great family, and a warm home to live in, a meal to eat.  And I know things will turn around, so I guess my feeling is hopeful...ther's no smiley for that, so I guess I'm in the middle.
