good morning

Slept around midnight last night, and I think I started dozing off early from the double portions of Chipotle as a result of the BOGO deal. On that note, sour cream and lettuce doesn't bear well in taste from the microwave.

Some life adjustments I've made in the past week - I bought an programmable coffee maker to essentially encourage myself to wake up. I basically use it as my alarm clock, and it's been working -- sorta. Better than other alarms I've used, I suppose. I always have enjoyed a cup of coffee anyway, but I'm quickly realizing coffee isn't as cheap as I thought it would be.

In addition, I put my nightstand on top of my normal table to form a makeshift standing desk. Although, I think this has made me more eager to work when I'm using my this desk, I get quickly get tired of standing up and then go laying-desk -- my bed, which proceeds to make me do nothing and makes me sleepy, a wonderfully dangerous combination.

Nevertheless, I've been eating out a lot this past week, partially because I've been too lazy to cook and also because my canker sore is finally healed, it's good to eat again.

...I think mostly because I've been lazy though. But I really need to learn to cook consistently. Not only does it save money, but ever since an old friend began housing a homeless man, I've begun wonder to how can we simply? I'm a terribly cheap giver, and an unhappy one at that. But I thoughtlessly drop $10 on a lunch here and a dinner there, yet I struggle to give a mere dollar to church, to causes, to the homeless. Definitely something I'm not proud of.

I'm reminded of Ghandi's saying -- "Live simply so others can simply live."
