i woke up to rain this morning. i really need to get an umbrella. the good news is that the water is back on. the bad news is that movin' out is a very loud show, and it's difficult to read eighteenth-century literature with billy joel blaring in the background. that reminds me, i've a new attitude on work. keep in mind, i am currently reading moll flanders.

a long time ago, the only way women could become financially secure was to marry someone with money. if that someone dies, they are left with a sum that has no opportunity to grow besides a little interest. i've realized that i just take the opportunity to work for granted. when i need money, i just pick up some more hours. i don't have to toss and turn about finding a husband or a benfactor fast. that's a nice feeling. yay for free women in the workplace! j.crew really isn't that bad. i just got a $98 skirt half off.
