When I'm working I have less time. I'm tired so I don't have energy to throw into other things. I spend more money to save time and energy. When I'm not working time is on my side. I sleep more, so I store up needed energy to do things like carry 11 lbs. of cat food a mile and take the subway home at 4 in the morning. To shop at Trader Joe's instead of Nam's, my favorite bodega. To build a desk instead of buying one. Modifying existing clothing is much more fun than shopping for cute-but-expensive things to wear when I go out, and mending belly dance costumes gives me a sense of accomplishment I don't get from purchasing new items. Running is way more awesome than going out to eat at places I can't afford, and cooking at home has become a luxury anyway.
I can't wait until laundry day! The Sound Scientist and I have a date to fluff 'n fold together!
