Yup, I'm this guy! Live like a queen for two weeks and a homeless woman the other two! #SadTruth
Oh hey! It's Monday, I know I know. they just keep showing up! Lol be happy about that, imagine the Monday you DON'T see. Now that one's gonna be a doozy lol. I hope everyone had a great weekend and got to relax before today. The weather was finally nice and people were out with their happy faces. You know what I'm talking about, all winter people have been mean mugging and just looking all around unhappy. Soon as the temperature hits near 70 people get their "warm weather" personality back! lol
So this weekend I didn't write because of my horrible, horrible planning! Borrow Season ends on Friday and instead of planning for it like a champ. I completely let the week get away from me in more ways than one. Let me admit that prior to Borrow Season I was a flake. I didn't show up to things, I didn't return invites, I didn't generally send my regrets either. I kinda just started living in a world where I did what I wanted, when I wanted, on my own terms. I know that we talk a lot about living life like that in a positive way, but it is not okay to be respectful! I think towards the end I got better about it, but end of last week I realized something. I was flaking because I'm a poor planner when it comes to my personal life. Especially in the area of money...you can't just want to show up to dinner all snazzy and enjoy a good meal when you do not plan for it! Even when you do things at the last minute you have to move your plans around to accommodate it and for me, a plan that requires true planning is not for me. Do you see how backwards that is?!
So in trying to do all my activities and enjoy life I realized that I do not plan in a way that makes sense. I have two planning routines, either I plan so far in advance that by the time the event comes I've talked myself into not going OR I plan so close to thee event that I have to decide what I "can" do! It's frustrating and honestly, pretty damn embarrassing to be this old and still be saying "No, I don't have money for that!".."Sorry, I'm broke!". Now don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with being broke per say, but for me personally it is a matter of not paying enough attention to what my money is going towards. Too much instant gratification! Way too much time pretending I'm Veruca Salt ("But, I want it now!!") Is that you? You want that pair of shoes today when you know that you should wait because you haven't paid such and such bill? Or are you one of those people I envy who literally shops, eats and travels when they WANT because you plan well enough? God bless you!
The truth is that like all things, getting better at not flaking, planning and managing my money is going to take effort. Surprise, right? You want something you have to work for it! I wanna enjoy this week the best I can with my limited planning skills lol Let this be a real lesson to me in planning ahead and not waiting until the last minute! You too, if there is something you want to do and you're not sure. Plan anyway! You are worth the effort that it takes to make yourself happy! Ok, gotta go handle the rest of my plans for today! #PlanBetter #DIdYouMakeAPlanForThat #BorrowSeason
