A week into TwentyTen

So far, this year has been pretty cool. I have been able to focus away from unneeded stress. I can't fix money problems until the 15th of any month anyway. Just this morning I had a prayer session Mandi-style when I started pacing and thinking about my Macy's account that they continually screw up. I send checks and they go into the wrong account. Fuck it. I realized that I am missing a DVD from Blockbuster. Fuck it, I'll just clean my apartment and tell Blockbuster on the 15th. Someone at work seemed mad at me. Fuck it, I wrote them a letter clearing up misinformation they based their frustration on. There isn't a reason to really trip on the uncontrollable elements of one's life.

Last night at the store I was in a rush to get cat food and substance for myself when I ran into a neighbor. Now, this lady is super nice and watches my cat when I go out of town. Although I was planning to meet someone at 6pm and it was already 5:45, I took the time to talk to her becasue she seemed like she wanted to talk to someone. I didn't have too much patience last year. Probably because I was in fight or flight the entire time. Ha. I listened to my neighbor even as she explained how relationships should be run. Yeah-not in one so not really interested, but I still listened and digested the information. I consider this a positive step towards my personal mental health.
