Ok, so the chat thing on here really annoys me.  Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against anyone here and would love to chat some times but usually when I log in I have a limited amount of time (hence why I'm so behind on reading and commenting on my friends journals).  Please don't take it personally.  I do promise I will get caught up.  It just takes me time.  As for the chat...I wish there was an option somehow so that when you log into DS you can stay offline on the chat...or at the very least invisible. That's all.  Just would be nice to have the option.  Okay, end of that rant.  LOL. The sleep goals are pretty much crap right now.  I am trying but not succeeding.  The walking one is going really well though.  I'm getting that one in just about every day and look forward to getting out for a little bit each day now.  I don't even particularly care that much what the weather is doing (unless I have to go to an appointment) but if I'm just walking for the sake of walking who cares.  I have rubber boots, I have a rain coat if I choose to wear it, and I won't melt.  I can get dry when I get home again.  Remember as a kid how much fun puddles were?  I'm trying to remind myself of the simple childhood pleasures and just enjoy it for what it is. Tomorrow I have an early morning appointment which means I probably have to get up by 6:30am...7am at the very latest...unless I want to be rushing around like mad.  Blech.  But I'll enjoy it for what it is plus it gives me the opportunity to go into town and explore.  I do have to go to the library and I wouldn't mind checking out another Asian store that's near to where my appointment is.  Maybe I'll find something fun to treat myself to.   I did my banking and paid my bills.  It didn't scare me quite as bad as I was expecting it since I've been sort of living outside my means the last month or two.  Money will be tight this month but I'm going to do my best to enjoy it just the same.  I've got $50 for the month to get groceries, bus tickets, and any treats...so it's really gotta stretch.  I think mom will help me with groceries though.  I don't tend to get too much.   Mom just arrived...so I gotta run.  I'm sure there was more I wanted to write but this will do for now.  Gonna go get those groceries.  Hehe.
