OH yeah, made it to day 2. Keeping the vision strong so far. Up at 4:30am, probably too early, my alarm would have gone off at 5:30 eventually. I figure if I get tired I’ll take advantage of some biphasic sleep, aka, take a nap.
Today’s big plans are to get to Aldi to shop for the week and get to the library and finally get my library card. There are a few books that I’ve been wanting to buy and it only makes sense that with my limited budget I take advantage of a great program, the library. My local library is pretty well stocked and organized. I haven’t been there in YEARS and I’m looking forward to seeing how new things are. I think with computers and the ease of looking things up and having a budget that could handle buying books whenever I wanted got me hooked on some bad habits. I’ll have some updates tomorrow about how things go.
The other thing I’m going to be working on today is trying to organize my space and get rid of junk. I have a bad habit of using the “stack-things-here-in-piles” of organizing and it works for a while and then months go buy and you end up with stacks of craziness that just LOOM. It doesn’t really help that currently I have a small basement space to hold everything including my studio. Getting a new space is one of my goals/visions for the new year. It’s contingent on me following through with a lot of other plans, but I have high hopes. Just got build on having great days and mostly that’s something I can control. At least I can control how I feel about them and that’s probably a big chunk of the battle.
Well, now I’m off to make coffee. Probably going to use my aeropress today with my good coffee, Reanimator made by Just-Coffee-Coop. I’m not affiliated with them, just like their coffee and values. It’s a bit pricey so I try and wait for it to go on sale and supplement my habit with German Dark Roast from Aldi. My grandmother always said when you’re living on a budget you need to have some things that you can splurge on that bring you joy, coffee was the example she used. There is something about that first smell and sip from a fresh cup that starts things rolling. Hope you have a great day! Do something for the FUN OF IT!
