Can't Get my Act Together to Post

I just can't seem to get it together to make any kind of post. It's getting to be pretty rare anymore that I actually try and review a new perfume. Some of the motivation is there and so is the desire but after being bitched at at work, I lost some of the motivation to try out new things. It's trying to wear and cherish what I do already have. The finances aren't there too for a lot of new perfume and I've spent more than enough on perfume this year.

There is some good news. I don't have to really scrimp tons at this point but still want to save up a little bit. In a about a couple weeks, I get to take my dogs to the vet for a rabies shot and a heart worm test. I'm budgeting for that and I have more medication for Jake than I remembered. I had forgot that my vet wrote a script for a 6 month supply. That is what happens with a supply like that, it's in what seems like a million pill bottles. I've pretty much worked out a food budget for when my parents are in California but I am not so worried about that. It's only going to be me while they are gone and the dogs will be home.

Right now, Bath and Body Works is having their semi annual sale going on. I was initially excited when I got the email the night before and when I went to the website, I wasn't too impressed with what I saw. Did they get me to part with some money? Yes, but not as much as they probably hoped. I stuck to 1 candle and two stocking stuffers. The sale didn't wow me like in years past and I am okay with that.

What I am waiting for is Amazon Prime Day, even though I don't think that the deals will be all that great. I don't need a new Kindle, I don't need an Echo or Fire TV, I am looking for books and a couple other cheaper things. But shopping Prime Day for the sake of Prime Day is not my thing anymore. It seems like the pandemic took it's toll on the sales and the sales aren't so great any more. I guess it's more cash in my pocket at the end of the day.
 

Unmotivated

For the past couple months, something happened between perfume and I. I am not talking about the two month heat wave, Chanel no. 19 EDP or nothing lasting on skin because I pretty much beat that to death. I'm talking about not wanting to really try anything new or get anything new. Probably due to the issue of I had bought so many decants these past few months and may have tried only 4 or 5 of them or I'm just a little burnt out right now. The last scent that really knocked me off my socks was Deneuve in extract form. I love Deneuve and wish someone would bring it back but if someone did, it probably would be a shadow of it's former self. At this point, I am wondering if the uncertainty from my job is creating this not being motivated. Naturally, it doesn't help either that a friend of mine has become critical of my perfume choices. I mean super critical for some reason. Just like I was wearing Mitsouko and tells me that I smell like I have not showered in a few days. I've known him for years and until a couple of weeks ago, there were no comments. I retaliated by letting him know if he wanted to criticize my perfume, I could harp on his lotto tickets. Shut him up real quick and this is the same friend who uses me as a sounding board and a nose for his mom's Christmas gift.

I am a little bummed out that after accidentally knocking over my makeup bag of decants onto my bed, I lost a 2ml of Sarrasins. Let's just say that Sarrasins doesn't mix too well with wearing Mitsouko and luckily I have some back up decants (I adore the skankiness of Sarrasins). Even washing my hands doesn't completely make it disappear. Let's just say it has stained one of the sheets of my bed but now my sheets smell really nice.
