🌘 becoming a 🌒

mature, responsible, confident individual, as the result of the direction and guidance that my sponsor has provided to me, is certainly worth celebrating today. on my second day of FREEDOM from being a wage slave, i have not yet begun to spin down into disaster. i may bitch and moan, over the course of this stint, about how i am now circumscribed by circumstances to cut back on my life style, but in reality, the wolves are not howling at the door and i certainly have a plan to get “back in the game” as it were. i also need to let go of how long and how much effort this process will take, as my sponse suggested the other day, perhaps it is time to just “take a rest” and allow things to happen as they will, which is not something i am very good at doing.
moving on and into my day, i just peeked at my cell phone data usage and the rat bastards “expired” all my rollover, instead of applying to my last month's usage. so freaking typical for big bidness and something that pisses me off every time i see it happen. their “accounting” system makes me consume all of my current limit, before diving into my rollover, so when their magic sixty days comes along, <BOOM> i get stuck with a data usage bill. i know what their plan is, if i get stuck with enough “overage” charges, i will leave my inexpensive, no longer offered plan and get hammered by their “all-you-can-eat” plans. less accounting and more 💲💲s for them and the customer service rep will be so kind and courteous as they screw me over. maybe it is time to sell everything and become a hermit somewhere warmer and less driven by greed.
anyhow, it is time for me to let go of this, post it for all to read and get some exercise done. i am going to be sitting all afternoon, hanging with some of the men in my sponsorship family, so it behooves me to be active in the here and now and let go of the rest. yes i will listen to music and it will not consume any data, SCREW AT&T and their crappy little games to make me pay more for less, all the while they will tell me that i am getting much more for a whole lot less. it is a good day to be clean and a better day to be okay with where i happen to be, just for today.

their minds, fills their bellies, weakens their wills, and strengthens
their bones.
