I decided I'd document this week as I have a very special goal... to not use my credit card or American bank account, and get by with the $16 remaining in my kiwi bank until next wednesday's payday.
It's bound to be an adventure. Coincidentally, I have depleted all my funds while pre-paying for my Cook Island vacation with John and loading up with a full tank of gas, rent for two weeks, filled my cupboards with my favorite foods, a 6-pack of IPA and other non-essential supplies. I have never been a good saver, but I am a damn good holiday maker!!!
To survive I plan on selling some clothes which i don't wear at the local recycle boutique. I'll spend my free-time playing on my computer and hopefully putting my sewing machine to use, which i bought in a moment of impulse because I THOUGHT at the time I'd actually use a sewing machine rather than just talk about sewing... hasn't really happened yet. But a broke weeks the best time to start a new hobby. :)
I just left the movie theater, I saw a mantenee (cheaper)... my first movie alone, ever.. Japanese film called "Departures". A melancholic but charming film about a man who discovers he has a true talent for preparing the dead for coffins. Douglas gives it two big thumbs up. The International Film Festival has graced Wellington with its presence. This was the first film I've watched this year. I've got 2 weeks left to catch another show or two.
Tonight I am heading to Elements to work. I'll be extra charming and see if I can woo my way into the kiwi peoples not-so-discovered tipping side. :) Wish me luck.
