A day of new beginnings

Well today was the day. Day one in the six month journey I have planned for my immediate future. The day to do the right thing. The first day of the rest of my life.

Literally

Today I got rid of the last of the pot that I had in the house. I have made a 6 month no weed goal for myself. I really enjoy smoking. I feel it mellows me out. I'm the type of person who is running at full speed all day every day and sometimes I need help to slow myself down. I know that not everyone approves of what I do, and I'm not apologizing for it. I just do what I do. No need to really explain myself to others. But as of late, I've been feeling a little fuzzy headed. My thoughts have been clouded and I feel restless. I feel the need to clear my head and think about my future. I need to set some short term goals for the immediate future. In order to do this I need to leave weed out of the picture for the time being.

I have a few good ideas of goals to set for myself. I won't post them yet, as they are still in the dream phase.

I will, however, post the second goal I've set for myself. See I would go to beer Thursday every Thursday. I've decided that that is a waste of a day. Instead of going to beer Thursday I'm going to do some sort of chore that will take me closer to my goals.This Thursday I'm going to go down to the union hall to go sign up for classes and pay my tuition. 415 dollars is going to be a big hit in the pocket book. I wish I could put off paying it for a few more weeks, it would sure help things out for me, but I should just do it and get it over with. I know that paying it now is going to affect plans for the weekend, but pay bills then play. We'll just have to be a little more thrifty this weekend.

I'm also going to cut down on impulse buys. I have a tendency to love to shop. I buy a lot of stuff that I do not need. I'm going to make a good effort to curb all the impulse shopping. I'm good at writing lists, so when I need to go to the store... Write a list and stick to it.

I'm so excited about getting started on these future plans. I just need to remind myself to take things one day at a time.
