Simplify
Today I called Cox and had the second land-line cancelled, as well as two movie channels we never watch. Lost the bundle savings, and our Internet goes up by ten bucks a month as a result, but the net savings will still be more than $40 monthly. Cha cha cha.
Got a haircut. A pretty severe one, at that. I guess as I get older, my patience for that in-between length (always in my face, not yet long enough for a ponytail) wears thinner and thinner. Almost makes me miss the days when it was more or less acceptable to wear a mullet in polite company. (And Lord knows I wore one of those way longer than was acceptable.) Less effort to take care of, less having to deal with it. Boom. No net savings, though.
Pretty much decided on the not-buying-comics thing. That'll likely be $100 monthly or more at the rate I was going here at the close. I may keep going back for New Mutants for a while (because hey, it's New Mutants), or I may wait for the inevitable trade paperbacks.
Very edgy about going back to work tomorrow. There's nothing like taking two vacation days (the last I'm likely to get for a couple months due to a co-worker going on paternity leave) only to get (what was now almost certainly) food poisoning the night before your four-day weekend.
Still looking for additional ways to simplify, save and de-stress. I'll see what I come up with.
