What do I do?
Jul. 11th, 2003 08:37 pmAgain, I haven't updated for a while.
The sum of it? I worked my first couple days of official work. Had to even extend my hours already once. Felt bad for -already- requesting time off (which I didn't want to do, but I guess I had to if I want to go to Anime Evolution). Overall, it isn't bad. I like my job well enough and I'm getting paid, so it is all good.
My car's front driver's side window got smashed for no reason. So Hotaru-chan (my purple Saturn) got a new window.
That sucked.
The reason I decided to post today though?
Finally get around to it, is because I need some advice.
Badly.
I don't know what to do.
On Tuesday I went to Value Village with my mom and found an almost perfect Tsuzuki coat. Didn't get it then cause it was like $25 and my Mom would have never let me do it with her there. Plus, she had even offered to keep a look out for something similar for me if I could get her a picture of it. But cheaper...
Cut to today.
Returned to Value Village with Marina to look for more costume stuff (along with some other places and such)...
We bought the jacket.
>.<
Split the cost.
Now, we get home and my mom asks if I got anything.
I decided to be truthful and said we got the jacket but I only had to pay half.
She was -annoyed- and I could tell. She was upset because I should have waited at least a little bit according to her to see if she could get that one or one like it on sale for less.
...
Then she seemed all REALLY annoyed right before she left tonight (I'm baby-sitting... right now they are out in the living room watching Spirited Away). I ask if anything is wrong and the first time she says she is fine - but in that unconvincing way people who aren't fine say it.
I ask again. She says she is just upset at something. She also had said earlier that things are bugging her and we need to hold a "family meeting." I fear those words.
But I'm beginning to wonder if her foul mood had to do with me getting the jacket or Marina paying for part of it, or most likely both.
>.<
I shouldn't have spent the money on it either now that I've had time to think about it. I REALLY am supposed to be saving for school. Everything that I can...
So here is where I need advice.
Do I take the jacket back and just skimp MAJORLY on my Tsuzuki costume which I plan on using for two conventions and a (hopeful) photoshoot we wanted to do?
>.<
I just don't know now that I've thought about it.
*sighs*
I keep having to spend my money on smallish things lately and it is going to start adding up... I don't think I should have bought the jacket, even paying only half...
