    Happy birthday DT. Love youse…

    because I am complaining about spending money and that's kinda privileged....

    I am usually frugal but I when I have to buy things I just put my head down and do it all at once…so this week I have purchased new prescription sunnies, new backpack (good bellroy one that will last forever), bulk foods (cleaning things and flours etc) and then a couple of pretty and good work tops from my fav little shop. And a nice combo card holder and pencil case so I can keep my things together and not forget them (geeky but I ADORE IT).

    Feeling a nice dopamine rush and slight panic (I had money aside but still). I am having a beer at hopheads and might buy dinner tonight to cap off a day of running around shopping. I am not going away for long weekend so this so this is kinda my holiday…yeah?

    I am very good with money and on top of bills and fortunate in my current job and but I still struggle with buy good stuff that will last forever (or worse buying something new because the forever thing I own actually doesn’t do the job anymore) versus make do with nothing. Oh to have a brain that could be happy.

        They were 500 bucks because I need multifocals. Could have got the for 450 but I figured 50 buck to make them polarised was worth it. Specsavers has a deal on some of those extras at the moment.
