Remember Lilo & Stitch? I’ve only seen it once because it made me cry my face off.
Aww, hugs. Source: disney-clipart.com
I cried because there’s a part where Stitch is looking for Lilo and he can’t find her. And he says “family” and points at his ugly duckling book. Then that horrible, horrible meanie guy tells him “You don’t HAVE a family” and (yes I am actually tearing up as I write this) then he gets captured or something awful, I dunno, I was too busy crying to pay attention at that part.
This post isn’t really about personal finance, but I recently visited my hometown for a week and hung out with my parents and grandparents for what seemed like about a second. When I came back, I had the post-vacation letdown and was kind of emotional for a few days. I’m an only child and my family is really small (they also all reside in BC), so I don’t get a lot of time to see them on the regular. I really would love to be able to swing by my grandparents’ whenever they have a computer problem or have dinner with my parents whenever I want, but I can’t. And it kind of sucks. Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Dollars and I have our own little unit here, but some days it just seems like I’m really disconnected. And I love seeing the mountains and the ocean in the same place, not like here where you can see West Ed from the UofA’s dorms and everything is brown and dead.
When I got back, I also didn’t feel great about work, which compounded my anxiety (I screwed up a few things, which in the big picture are nothing, but I tend to beat myself up about mistakes a lot). Hence, a lack of not only post-writing, but reading & commenting on my favourite blogs as well. I want to get back in the swing of things, but I’m feeling really unmotivated at the moment. I also only have my iPad, and even though I purchased a wireless keyboard it seems kind of daunting to write on (and right now I’m not even using it, I’m at Mr. Dollars’ place using his computer).
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’ve dropped the ball on posting because I miss my family and work is kind of sucking right now. When I get in moods like this I give myself permission to wallow, but I am in dire need of an attitude adjustment!
