Eine little update
Last night I treated myself to 2 of the essential Roman Stoic books for my Kobo e-reader, so that all the footnotes work seamlessly, PLUS for 1.99 The Lord of the Rings trilogy!! All coming to $29, i'm hiding that expense with my 300 for groceries per month plan, making my 105 dollar order I just had delivered into 135.
Meaning the average of the next 3 orders has to be a bit under 60 dollars each.
I like the instant coffee, will buy again, however it went under request, so the option might not be there a next time, I have to be prepared for anything.
I didn't get the headphones btw, I can only have one extra sort of thing per month and that was for April those 3 books, which were Seneca's Letters on Ethics, and Complete Works of Epictetus. And I had gotten the Annotated edition of Aurelius' Meditations for the Kobo a few months ago, and Musonius Rufus has to wait, in a literary level Rufus pales in comparison with the other 3 Roman Stoics.
I had gotten 3 sandwiches at the nearby place the other day, and I discovered how to consume them, I shall eat them the way I smoke the joints, a few bites at a time, and re-heat when I'm ready for some more bites. ONE sandwich would cover a whole day!!
My optometrist appointment is on April 1, and brother will be here on Monday to hand over his father in law's old iphone, which will not have enough space for my audible, so I am fine with that, it's ok to be listening to those things through the computer, a nice library there of around 300 titles.
For smokes and weed, I expect to only spend 100 total for both -- 60 for 2 cartons, I have 1 unopened carton as I write and 2 full packs from current carton, and for weed I shall just get the 10 joints thing which is about 40 bucks.
So that's how it is at the beginning of a month long period where I must abide by a strict frugality, which will be eased with a check that may be directly deposited for the first time tomorrow and a pumped up GST check, and if any of those Blu-rays sell, plus bottle depot, on Monday.
My 1,500 debt should be down to just -1,000 by the end of this month long period of time, I have to drill that into my head, so I don't keep using Visa and then see it's -1,500+ again, like it has been happening non-stop.
My Most Essential Reading is something like this, these are the ones I must be reading from every single wake period:
1. at least one of the 3 Roman Stoics ... with Cicero insisting on being a part of it all.
2. Dostoyevsky -- on 3 fronts -- ocular reading from Delphi and new translations, 2) the audiobook and 3) Joseph Frank's 5 volume bio
Mid level essential, meaning almost everyday
1.Tao te ching -- any of the many editions
2. Emerson's Essays
3. Montaigne's Essays
4. Samuel Johnson's The Rambler
5. Petrarch's Letters
6. Rilke's Letters and/or his poetry
7. Emily Dickinson's Poetry
8. Cioran
9. Nietzsche
10. Edward Gibbon
