in order to better position myself to buy a house next year, i'm eliminating all manner of unrighteous (read credit card) debt. i'm nearly there, but of course i need to maintain these beautiful zero balances for the long term. it also makes sense given how perilous the economy is these days. actually, it makes sense all the time, but there's a new urgency to have one's accounts in order. i feel it just like everyone else.
at the same time, job certainty in limbo (i guess that would be uncertainty defined), i'm still doing my part to stimulate things. a meeting on the horizon (not a date) for early next week requires something new to wear. the errand coincided with plans to see a dear friend for belated birthday festivities, so i just combined all that spending. clothes, shoes, two new handbags, dinner out... all paid for in cash.
it's a new day of personal responsibility and i'm excited to embrace maturity in this way.

I love the song that's playing on here. Black Coffee. I don't think I've heard it before. But I grew up watching Ed Sullivan and hearing people like Ella, Sarah Vaughan, Johnnie Ray, Vic Damone, Sinatra, etc. Still love this music.
