A Mishmash of an update
Looking back over the past few days, I realized I haven't made a real update of things going on in my life for awhile. So here's all the news of Al that's fit to print:
I start driving lessons on July 13th. I am really excited about this! Oddest thing is all the fear that used to be automatic when I thought about being behind the wheel of a car is completely gone replaced with excitement and thoughts of how my life will be improved when I am no longer a prisoner to public transportation.
Work has been hectic the past week due to scheduling difficulties and personal tragedy for one of my co-workers. I was the only Shift lead for half of last week, right during the end of the month crunch. It was stressful but the upside of it is thatg I feel I have caught up for the two months I was out and I finally feel I can hold my own in my position. The $ 0.40 raise I got on Friday also helps assuage the stressfullness :).
The diet continues to go well; I lost 3 lbs last week. This week has been a little challenging with the holiday on Monday but I am forcefully dragging myself back on track. Unfortunately my exercise plans have kinda been knocked off track with my crazy scheduke for the next few weeks but I am still managing at least a 30 min walk on my lunch break plus all the walking I get in due to my commute. Again, oonce I can drive and have a car I'll be much more able to maintain a gym schedule(and then I'll just have to find some excuse besides my schedule when I don't go ;) )
In the more "grrr" realm, my landlord has decided to raise my rent again. When I got this apartment the rent was $750, starting in September it will be $875. So I am looking into moving soon. I won't do so until I have a car so it probably won't happen before Sept/Oct. This time I am going to make sure I find a place where I can have a cat...I'm suffering a major feline-deficiency. I'd also like a place with a pool, then I'd really be living the Cali life!
That's the update from Beautiful Downtown Burbank. Stay tuned for more babblings as they bubble out of my head and into the computer.
