Update and stuff
Sep. 5th, 2010 01:46 pmSo after a week of being back home... things have almost seemed the same.
I've found things out that I didn't know about home finances, found out that I'm pretty much allergic to pet dander, and have tried to slowly better myself over the week and relaxing after my vacation.
Anyway Friday I got home and did my usual cleaning of my glasses and noticed a huge scratch that I just put in them. XP So I needed to get a few things so went out and found out that Target has an optical center so set up an appointment for an eye exam and picked out some glasses (http://www.smartbuyglasses.co.uk/designer-eyeglasses/Ray-Ban/Ray-Ban-RX5146-2034-24001.html ). These are not the usual ones I would pick out but have been getting tired of the nose pads on the usual metal frames. Also was thinking this would be a good start on the updating of me. So hopefully will get these soon, in about a week or two.
Also while I was out yesterday got me some decent food so I can prepare dinners this week. Basically I'm tired of going out and spending more money on food when we can just as easily make it at home. So I am going to use Foodnetwork.com and some recipe books at home to try and get better stuff. I guess seeing Kelby making all that great food at home made me want to try the same. That and fresh food made at home makes it easier to eat better in general and help control portions etc.
Other self improving things I have been doing is going to the gym during my lunch period at work. It's only 20 mins on the elliptical machine but still it's better than nothing. Also still been bringing lunch which has saved me money and has been much healthier than the alternatives.
Also been working with a friend about helping me with my finances. Hopefully he can help with it would be extremely helpful if he can.
Last on my list would be... I think as soon as I can get finances settled I think I will be looking towards moving to MD area. I had the thought of either moving there or moving to SF and as much as I like SF and the weather and will miss my ottery friend there I just don't feel there will be too many friends that I will be able to make there. But on the same end in MD I have a decent amount of friends there and now there's a lot of other cool furs there and the job market seems very good there at the moment too. So just need to get my finances in order and look at jobs in the area to see what I can possibly get.
So all in all I think things are looking up for me in my self improvement.
