Day Two Hundred and Forty Seven.

    Today was my day off and for once it was pretty relaxing. When I got up I had cup of coffee while I wrote my blog entry from last night. I was thinking about possibly making a trip to the mall because I need some clothes for my vacation as well as presents for my sisters Birthday. However, I decided that I really didn't want to go out because I knew it would take most of the day. I think I'll probably end up doing it on my next day off, which will be Tuesday. The only errand that I really had to do was to get to the bank to drop my check off but I had until 5pm to get that done.
    After I drank my coffee I had to pay some bills, so I did that as well as balance my checkbook, before I had a Lean Cuisine for lunch. Then I got a burst of energy to sort through a few boxes which I have had in the spare room from my Mother's house. That ended up taking a long time and I thought I did a good job of throwing away a lot of things I'll never need to look at again. It's amazing how much paper accumulates! The only thing I need to do is get a nice storage bin so that I can store the items I have to save in the basement. It was a very interesting mix of items from grade school through college and it was very nostalgic.
    It was almost 3:30pm by the time I was done that so I quickly got in the shower then got to the bank before it closed. The plan for this evening was to have dinner with some of my co-workers and it happened to work out that one of my boyfriends co-workers joined us as well. My friend who lives near me drove me to the restaurant and then I met my boyfriend there because it was near his work place. It was a very fun evening out! When we got home we didn't do too much more and my boyfriend ended up passing out on the couch.
    I did a very good job of not over washing my hands today even sorting through the boxes on the floor of my spare room! I've been trying to remind myself something my Mother has told me since I've acquired this OCD, which is "don't forget that these are your germs". It's a very true statement and I feel it's something I should remind myself constantly when I'm having days where I'm not even leaving the house. I don't need to constantly rewash my hands over and over when I'm not even around other peoples germs. Alright, that's it for now.
