Sunday, August 12, 1984

I touched up my acrylic nails today, gave myself a pedicure and waxed my legs.  In other words, I spent ten hours pampering myself today.  I will look for work Tuesday.  I only have $10.00 to put gas in the car to look for work, so, I'll only be able to go two days this week.  I still feel like I have jet lag, and I' still tired.

 I checked the pool chemicals and the PH was 60 parts per million, instead of the 100-150 that it should be.  I'm not going to add stabilizer, because I would need 18 pounds of it, and I can't afford  it.  I hope the PH raises by itself.  I hardly ever have a problem with it being too low, and I'm wondering why it's low.  My guess is that someone dumped a lot of muratic acid into the pool all at once, instead of the one-third gallon per day that's required. 

I am worried about money again.  I had forgotten about my money problems here, while I was in Albuquerque.  The stress and constant financial anxiety here is dragging me down already, again.  I feel like Atlas with the weight of the world on my shoulders.  My ex-beau took the weight of the world away from me for awhile, the same as Atlas was relieved for a short time by Hercules, but it's back on my shoulders now.
