i have a lot to work on

Yesterday I was running around town doing some errands - I'm now onto the stage of moving where you change all your addresses, update car insurance, that sort of thing. I'm also in the slightly awkward phase of trying to find some local spots to get everyday things done. In this case, I needed a tailor - at 5'4", I basically have to hem every pair of pants I buy.

After some googling and driving around the area, I decided to make the 15 minute drive to one of the local malls for a tailor. I reasoned that it's closer to work, so it will be easy for me to pick up and the hours are longer at the mall than at a small business. But on the way there, I got a phone call from J that was threatening to become a full blown fight. After hanging up before it got bad, I continued on, trying to stay positive. But outside the mall entrance, he called back - and it did erupt into a fight.

Now I'm emotional and frustrated. I drop off the pants at the tailor, and I was going to leave but thought better of it - I stopped in at the MAC store to update my info with them (I have a Pro card). Well, it turns out the best way to do that is online or over the phone. But instead of just leaving, I spent $40. I was upset, and browsing makeup with some girls was making me feel better.

I'm spending my emotions...literally. This is frighteningly similar to last weekend. I need to learn how to control this.
