♪♫ Venice Bitch - Lana Del Rey
Sadly, I must start this blog with some bad news; I was let go from my job. The boss said that everyone liked me, but the position just wasn't a good fit. I was very upset at first, but now I'm just disappointed. It never feels good to lose your job, even when you're told in a nice way. I've been doing lots of self care since then. I think its a very important that I take care of myself right now. Once I feel better, I plan to start applying for jobs again. Hopefully in a week or two. Wish me luck!
For self care, I've done the following:
• I got a new cute haircut, then looked around the mall and bought myself mint tea at Starbucks.
• I got three new boxes of tea. Do I have a tea problem? Probably.
• Watched the premiere American Horror Story: Apocalypse with some treats.
• Binge watched Season 13 of Supernatural. I'm halfway through now!
• Bought myself three new things online; Supernatural Season 13 on DVD, a new hair straightener (my old one broke) and Lost Encyclopedia (I found a really cheap used copy in good condition).
• My boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary at an Inn out of town, which is made from old train carts and a train station. So cool! The inside of our room was absolutely beautiful! We had dinner at a nice restaurant (& got turtle cheesecake for dessert), got ice cream, exchanged gifts, did some window shopping, drove around and more! He gave me a beautiful tree necklace! For souvenirs, I got two buttons with Dumbledore quotes. My boyfriend also gave me a Slytherin pin that he got for free recently.
• Done some serious cleaning/getting rid of things. I need to de-clutter badly!
I also bought a ton of Christmas gifts lately! I've got almost everyone done, except for my boyfriend, my dad's girlfriend, my boyfriend's parents and my best friend's mom and fiance. I've decided to make my boyfriend something, which will cost around $35. He will absolutely love it! For my dad's girlfriend, I have no idea what I'm getting her yet. My boyfriend's parents will be getting a tin of my homemade shortbread cookies and my best friend's mom and fiance will each be getting a $15 Tim Hortons gift card. So... you may be wondering why I'm Christmas shopping in September... honestly, I just hate the mall in November/December. Its crazy busy! Also, the mail gets backed up around that time too. I figured its best to get it out of the way now and I won't have to worry in December!
Here is a list of everyone and what I got for them...
My grandmother: The angel necklace. Its sterling silver with real diamonds. I paid just over $100 for it. Its by far the most expensive gift I bought. Why? Because my grandmother has done so much for me and I wanted to give back to her. She deserves it!
My best friend: A wine glass that says 'drink up witches' for her birthday (December 6th) and a Jeffree Star makeup bag (for Christmas).
My boyfriend: Nintendo power #37. He told me recently about how he was been searching for it to add to his collection, so I bought it! He will be getting it for his birthday (January 7th). For Christmas, he is getting the homemade item that I mentioned before.
Marta: A shirt that says 'All I care about is my pekingese and like maybe 3 people'. She seen it on Facebook recently and got a good laugh from it, because she felt it was very fitting for her!
My best friend's son: The first 4 Magic Treehouse books for his birthday (November 28th) and two science kits for Christmas.
My best friend's daughter: A sparkly playdough set and a plush doll.
My dad: A book of H.P. Lovecraft stories.
Tomorrow I'll be doing lots of laundry and more cleaning/getting rid of stuff. I'm oddly excited about it, haha! That is all for now!

I'm so sorry to hear about getting let go from your job. That sucks, I have had that happen once before at a car dealership they liked me but it just wasn't a good fit position wise as I found it a struggle to keep up. I'm glad to hear you are taking care of yourself and are going to be looking again soon. Any idea on what kind of job you want?
ReplyDeleteThat inn sounds pretty cool. I think I know which one you are referring to. I have always wanted to go. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
Wow Christmas already. I can't believe it is almost October. I am a last minute shopper and will hold off on everything till the week before likely and then scramble to get everyone lol
