Ups and downs

wakeiseiyoYay deferred expense on getting my tooth filled! (They're billing insurance first and waiving the patient portion, assuming insurance will cover it. If they won't... I'll be on the phone raising hell.) Which means I can kill myself getting another 5-10 hours of overtime racked up and be able to pay off all my other bills before I face some monumental debt from the medical industry. [I love my dentist, but his prices are crazy-high sometimes.]
Boo having spent too much money lately. I really need to keep better track of my impulse buying. I'll remember one purchase* and forget about three others, and then wonder why my credit card balance is suddenly so high. :( Not cool. I also really need to just sign out of eBay for a few months. >.<
Work wasn't TOO crazy today, at least. G's all-day project turned out to take about half as much time, y'know? So I managed to get some class-time in, too. Tomorrow, I have no idea how things will go, but I'm crossing my fingers I'll be able to take the part two of the class from today.
Tea tomorrow, and I need to remember to hit the ATM so I can actually pay for my lesson. I hope the weather stays pleasant enough that I can wear yukata without being miserable, as it's the first lesson of the month. (And until it gets cooler, it will be yukata and not kimono...) I still have these sky-high hopes I can lose enough weight to wear an L-sized kimono around the hips**, even if it's the wrong length for the arms, mostly because all the fun and interesting patterns stop at L-size. LL (and above?) are largely solid-colored polyester because it's assumed fat and tall people will only be attending very formal events, I suppose. None of that tasteful daily wear for anyone over 5'6"! Bah.
* Ichiroya sells LLL and LLLL-sized yukata. Just, yanno, FYI. And they're only $38 each. Plus shipping. FYI. :D :D :D I'm tempted to start a campaign to petition them to seek out LL+-sized komon.
** (If I actually found the $$ to join a gym, this might be feasible. For now, it's not real likely.)
