Aw Dang, Now I Don't Know What To Do...

anonymoose_au10:11pm: Regarding the smart watch - activity tracker situation...because wouldn't you know it, but when I picked up the Aldi catalogue for next week I saw that on Saturday 23rd they're gonna be selling...
Activity Trackers! For 70 bucks, and these are updated one's too, with a more watch like band and a screen that is a lot easier to read and it comes in green and is cheaper than the one I got last year. Plus it also has the clip option, so when I want to wear a watch that matches my clothes I can just put it on my pants or whatever.
Soooo...should I return the smart watch then? I really like it how it alerts me to messages and emails and phone calls, I was thinking I'd just keep it anyway, because it's not like the cost of both it and the activity tracker will break the bank for me. But...it's so bulky, so if I shove it in my pocket it's really quite noticible which rather defeats the purpose. Plus it could well fall out! Bah! What to do, what to do...
I suppose I'll ask my parents what they think, Aldi has a 60 day returns policy, although in all honesty if I'm going to return the watch I should do it sooner rather than later.
Or maybe I should just be like Doc Brown and wear a watch on each wrist :OP
Anyway! I was going to make this entry more interesting than yesterday's, which I haven't quite succeeded in doing, but I do have good news about my car! I finally got around to going to Autobarn and having them mix up some touch-up paint for the scratches. My landlord was out in the front yard when I came out to wash my car and he was nice enough to help me out with that. Obviously, the touch up paint doesn't completely cover up the scratch like it would if I went to the panel spraying guy, but you have to be standing quite close to notice.
So that's great! Although it's supposed to rain tomorrow evening - boo and typical. :OP

Why Do You Want To Know That Meme, part three
Stolen from: Love me some surveys
50. What do you spend most of your money on? Rent!
51. Would you rather visit the past or the future? Hmmm, well I've said before I'd love to see George III's coronation, so I guess I'll say the past!
52. Favorite clothing store? Eh, I'm not loyal to one particular shop over others, I'd probably say Charity shops actually, you never know what you'll find in one those!
53. What is the best advice you can give to those who are feeling down? Talk it out with someone who you trust and who cares about you. They may not be able to solve the problem, but they'll at least be able to offer comfort.
54. How often do you think about your future? Does it scare you? Not all that often...and it does a bit! Especially when I think about mortality, I'd rather not go there to be honest.
55. What angers you the most? Dickhead politicians, and unfortunately there's a LOT of them around, jerks.
56. When was the last time you got majorly angry? Well, I got rather angry when I discovered that I wouldn't be able to get my car on the day I thought 'cause the owner of it had gone out of town! But that was more upset than angry...Actually, that was probably when Tony Abbott did or said some dumb stupid shit.
57. When was the last time you got really sad? Uh...hmmm...well, I didn't cry or anything, but I was very sad when I heard about the town in Syria under siege, how could people do that... Thankfully, food supplies have managed to get in.
58. Are you good at lying? No, I complete suck at it.
59. What foreign language would you like to learn? Russian! I'm trying, but it's really hard.
60. How many languages can you speak and what are they? Just English, because I didn't stick with Japanese or French in high school, boo.
61. How often do you go to parties? If you don’t, what do you do instead? Well, I just had my birthday party last Saturday...I guess though not all that often, but I'm not a big partier so that's OK. :OP Instead of that I just hang out at home net surfing and reading and all that jazz.
62. What books do you plan to read this year? Whatever takes my fancy! ;O)
63. Do you have breakfast every morning? I certainly do! Because if I don't my digestive system can get quite irritated. Also, it's the most important meal of the day.
64. Tell us a secret. Don't have one, at least not that I can think of...
65. How many concerts have you been to? Not that many probably about 10.
66. Last hug? Mrs S, as a thank you for the birthday present.
67. Who knows you better than anyone else? Uh, probably my mother.
68. Baths or showers? Showers, but that could well be due to the lack of baths in my places of residence.
69. Do you think you’re ambitious? Oh Hell no.
70. What song is stuck in your head? Nothing right now, so let's not go there!
71. Countries you’ve visited? New Zealand, USA, England, Scotland, Wales, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia.
72. What do you most value in your friends? Niceness, I guess?
73. What helps you to sleep better? Having my soft pillow to lie on, it may not offer any head support, but it feels so comfortable! :OP
74. What is the most money you have ever held in your hand? I found $1,000 on the street once, I turned it into the police, but no-one claimed it so I got it back a month later. That was definitely the most I've ever held.
75. What makes you nervous? Lots of stuff! But to boil it down to something simple...new situations.

Right! I've made a lot of progress there, but now I better be off, as I mentioned I went to work early today but it turned out I didn't need to, that was a bit annoying, but ah well. I did finish early so there's that.
And now I say goodnight!
