It&#8217;s Friday and I did spend  &#8211; well dangit &#8211; I can&#8217;t find the reciept.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have to find the recipet and then I can update&#8230;it was approx $50.  I bought a large block of Sheep Cheese.<\/p>\n<p>There is a part of me that is feeling a little bit pressured to hide things like paying a large amount of money for cheese when that money could be someone else&#8217;s entire weeks budget for food. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, I&#8217;m not trying to live anyone else&#8217;s life.  We have made some choices for our life (and health), and some other choices were made for us (allergies, intolerances, etc) and we have to live with (and within) our choices.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I do buy speciality cheese, but not all the time, and we ration it out.  I won&#8217;t be apologetic for the choices that I choose to make. So&#8230;.that&#8217;s that.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the deal with being open about stuff, and then dealing with the reality that you make choices that are different than others, and then dealing with your preception of what others might be thinking based on your choices.<\/p>\n<p>It all comes down to judgment doesn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s amazing how judgmental we can be, and I think that we expect the same kind of judgment to come to us that we dish out.  I hate judgment.  It sucks!  I try hard to not judge, not that I&#8217;m always perfect at it, but I try.<\/p>\n<p>Okay &#8211; I could get all deep here, but I was just trying to whip up an update about how we are doing and what&#8217;s going on, and I&#8217;m getting all sidetracked&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I blame it totally on the downstairs renters.  They are totally blaring their music right now and all I can hear is the thump, thump, thump of the bass in whatever song they are listening to.  It&#8217;s AWESOME!<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ve had a party every night for the past week and a half and it&#8217;s getting old.  We&#8217;ve asled them to be considerate of the fact hat we have a family living upstairs, and then&#8230;.that night they are still going strong at 4am.  IT ROCKS!  In SO MANY WAYS!<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m tired!  I&#8217;m also wondering how this <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Seasonal_affective_disorder\">fall\/winter\/spring&#8217;s cold, wet, dark, rainy season<\/a> is going to affect me.  I can feel the tiredness already starting to hit.  That sucks, too!<\/p>\n<p>Alrighty, well, now that I&#8217;ve spread my love and cheeriness all over the Internet &#8211; I think that I&#8217;ll just be done now.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to check out the store and to <a href=\"https:\/\/xangelle.com\/dailygrind\/?p=282\">ENTER THE GIVEAWAY!
