What are your plans? For today, tomorrow? What are your plans for self-care for yourself?

Well...hmmm...

The car needs to go to the shop, so me and little PW will be at home tomorrow and probably go to the park. I also need to be looking for a job while she is sleeping. Not the best self-care. Perhaps I'll try to do my nails tomorrow as well as little PW's. I bought some new makeup today.

Doing your nails in the best form of self-care. I would go to get them done, but I figure it's not the best use of unemployment money.

And bubble baths. They are so relaxing and soothing. Can you take a bubble bath?

I suppose I could, but I can only do it after the kiddo is asleep. And I don't like baths that much for some reason. I get bored and then I start thinking about my fingers and toes getting wrinkly! Ha, I'm weird. A long shower is good though. smile

What about getting a babysitter or relative to do the Skype calls so you can go out or something?



What would you do if you were not afraid?

My dad might be able to do the skype calls sometimes, bur he wouldn't committ to it all the time. I couldn't afford a babysitter three times a week to do them since he doesn't pay for anything and I need to wait until March to do my filings.

It has some really good ideas, huh? We should resurrect it with all our Plan B ladies.

I imagine with the name Piglet you would like Animal Farm. The pigs become rulers over animals and mankind.

Just City (fantasy- yeah) and The Secret Life of William Shakespeare (historical fiction-also yeay).

I have indeed read Animal Farm. I am all about the Piggie overlords.

I was going to take Jedi Knight as a name but SOMEBODY took it. Actually, I am a big Star Wars fan, except for episodes 1-3. I try to "Plan B" episodes 1-3 as much as possible.

Now that I think about it, I should have chosen Khaleesi as my name because it is so cool.

No, you cant say that. The moderators are in the midst of a crackdown on bypass of the profanity filters.

I also am not a big fan of episode. 1-3.

All of that stuff in the movie is exaggerated though. When I was an apprentice and attended the Jedi Academy it didnt look anything like that

Ok. Changed the slight profanity. I'll think about changing the name. I'm kind of attached to PW now. Oink!

Hey Guys,

Pray for a job for me soon! It looks like my unemployment claim might run out sooner than I thought (yikes)!

Another reason to just totally exit all of these marriage issues and focus on ME!!!!
