These kinds of days come up about the time I get paid each month. I get paid and want to get the expenses taken care of ASAP. I can deal with all of them on my own except one, getting groceries in the house. My roommate/friend and I go and do this together because they are the one with the transportation and we both need to agree on what is coming into the house but the problem seems to happen every time I feel plans are made. My roommate ends up coming up with other things to do that seem to be more important that stocking up on what we need, today was partially understandable as they needed their work clothes washed. I was told that we would be getting some of the groceries done today but they have made themselves comfortable in their room with no indication of wanting to leave the house again. All I want to do is get groceries out of the way so we can have food that I am more willing to consume in the house but even with very little in the house that even requires preparation.

My overall issue monthly is my seeming lack of restraint on splurging on things from the time I am paid until the time we can get groceries that the budget is dipped into for my creature comforts. We can always go later when my payment for my credit card has cleared but the places we usually go don't take credit cards, only debit or cash. One other problem is that just to get some food into the house on my own, I have to go to a store closer to home where the prices are higher than where we usually shop, I dislike having to do this but I feel that having food in the house is somewhat important. I do have drops in how I am feeling if I don't eat when I am hungry.

Sorry this seems to be a vent about funds and food. Looking at that and the thought in my mind does improve my mood, even if only slightly.
