At any rate some good things that did come out the last couple days was getting my car insurance squared away with help of my rep, routine exercises with my grandma, tried out a new dish today (one pan bake) and it came out GREAT! Also I haven't really spent any money this week with the leftovers and such. It's been nice just eating my home cooked food and saving money.
At any rate played powerball tonight *fingers crossed* and I'm still stewing on the short story which I'm "The Bite" for now.

“It’s okay, we remember for you so you don’t
have to.”
“But
I want to, for myself I mean.”
“May
I have the mag-”
“Alicia.”
“Thank
you. I received a call earlier in the
week. Seems like you’ve been under a bit
more stress lately, is it because of the anniversary?”
“Yes.”
“You
shouldn’t be so hard on yourself.”
“I
know.”
“But
you have done something terrible and sometimes in cases like yours it’s hard to
bear so we give ourselves allowances.
You see our minds are powerful things.
Once you’ve fabricated a truth you’ve rewritten the memory. Our memory,
unfortunately, can be like a Wikipedia page.
You can access and edit the info there.
But so can others. Before long
what’s on that page will be conceived as an absolute truth to a memory that
will no longer be wholly yours nor accurate.”
“The history doesn’t get lost
though, right? It’s still there. A version control, I think, I’ve heard that
from somewhere.”
“Aw, but you see, even a rapist can
convince themselves that their innocent and the victim asked for it. They will remain free of guilt even as they
recall slipping something into their victim’s drink. History is irrelevant in this regard. We rewrite things all the time I’m
afraid. Even monsters have their brand
of fairytales.”
