Motivation Monday #1-School Stress and Doggy Stress


Hello Dahlings.
I've decided to do some themed posts throughout the week and planned on starting with "Motivation Monday" today. But then I've had a stressful day and was like...how can I motivate myself and others on a day like this? Then I had a DUHH moment. There really is no better way to start a series like this. I need motivation...on "Motivation Monday." Perfect. 

It's really been a hell of a stress-packed day. 

First, at about 12:30 this morning, my dog peed the bed. MY bed. As her new owner, I didn't scold her because I knew it wasn't her fault, but boy was I pissed. I threw my sheets and blankets in the washer, gave her a bath, put an old top sheet on my bed and grabbed a throw from the couch and tried to go back to sleep. Then she did it AGAIN. I spent half the night researching and trying to find out what could be wrong. She was my grandmother's dog. My grandmother moved out and left Emma here. It's been weeks so I don't think it was anxiety from that. It's not like she moved houses or anything. I called the vet today and they think It might be a urinary tract infection. Poor Pooch :(


Then comes the school stress. My books are $873!!! What?? I'm  going to COMMUNITY college. Yes, I know that college is expensive, but 3 books that cost $150+ each? Ridiculous. I have $415 dollars left over from student aid, but that's still $458 that I don't have. 

First World Problems.

Today's "motivation" will be a list of positive things that happened/will happen today. 

1.) I applied for a car loan (fingers crossed) It's kind of an ugly car that makes 
a loud vibrating noise when you drive it. But it'll be mine. 

2.) Regardless of insane book prices, I'll be starting school!!

3.) I'm finishing my Harry Potter marathon with my mom later. 

4.) I woke up today, as did my loved ones. 

It's a good day.
