Its still snowing. It snowed plenty this weekend. I'm still in awe. But winter is making me depressed and moody. Last night I was invited to a little game night at a friends house about 3 miles away. It was really nice and I have a lot of fun. I got lost on the way over there, I knew where to go, sort of, but it was snowing and my (riding) glasses were really foggy and I kept taking them off, but then the snow would get in my eyes, so I 'd put them back on and they'd still be terrible to see out of. And then my feet started to get wet and then they got really cold, but I was actually doing ok as far as comfort was concerned. Anyways, I got lost twice, but I made it safe and sound.
The ride home was simple too. We made it home fine, but most of the ride was a blur. All the major roads are salted and plowed continuously, but the residential roads were terrible. When I made it to my street I went about a block before it was just too terrible to continue. I practically fell off my bike and couldn't get back on, so I hucked it and walked with my bike for a block or two without falling or slipping. Which I'm kind of proud of. My riding shoes soles are totally flat plastic with a little medal cleat, so I have no traction.
Tomorrow is work and we're having a christmas party in the evening at a bowling alley. I've been working here long enough to get health coverage now too. I have to talk to someone to get that ball rolling.
My rent and utilities were $927. My paycheck was roughly $1000. Its getting frustrating paying rent here when I'm finding cheaper studios near work. But its going to take a while to save up a deposit to move anywhere.
Next paycheck I'd like to finally start paying back my car, I think its been over 6 months. I'd also like to buy an acoustic guitar and try lessons online. It's getting really boring not having a TV, and I listen to Elliott Smith so much, it would be nice to be able to make art that sounds and feels like this music I enjoy so much. There aren't really any visual artists that I connect with anymore, and I don't really want to write. So maybe music is a nice option.
