What are you doing today to be healthy, wealthy, and wise?

[Glinda]

how you are using your time productively, for positive physical, mental, emotional, or financial returns.

Physical: The sun is finally shining, so I'm going to do some gardening today. YAY! Just gotta wait a bit for it to warm up - quite chilly out there right now.

Mental: Every morning, after reading my email and visiting message boards, I play a few games of Paraben's Mah Jong, using the difficult "bridge" design. Keeps me sharp. I can usually do it in less than three minutes; best time was 1:51!

Emotional: Yesterday, I took one of my kitties to the vet for possible kidney or diabetes issues. Was utterly ignored by the front desk staff when trying to pay and get my stressed kitty back home (the phone rang, and apparently paying customers simply wink out of existence when the phone rings). Had an argument with the girl once she finally stopped chatting with the caller about how to get a cat used to a carrier (!), and was so pissed off about it, I went home and started typing out a complaint letter.

Got a call this morning from the vet (who also happens to be the owner of the clinic) to say that my kitty may be in the very early stages of kidney failure, but she's currently in no danger, although more tests are needed. Then she said she'd heard about the poor customer service I received. She completely agreed that it was not acceptable, and said that the matter would be addressed in this afternoon's staff meeting.

So yeah. My complaints did not fall on deaf ears and my kitty isn't dying... yet.

Financial: I do pet sitting on the side. Got an easy and nearby pet-sitting gig through the 25th - $14 per visit to me.

Start my new job next Monday. *dread* I haven't had a real job in nearly six years, but the economic hard times we're in have forced me to not only search for a full-time job, but to accept one. Grocery store cashier. *dread*
