Catch up hehe
Food: got the Ichiban beef and chicken saimin flavors, along w/Ramen Express ( but tossed it when I read the ingredients & saw 0 beef or chicken ANYTHING ( no flavoring or broth, neither were in it)..the Ichibans were really good ( but 🦐 is my fave).
Got a Stir Fry seasoning mix & was contemplating making 1 from scratch ( the seasoning packets were almost $4 for 1 lb of meat?), but the price ( and small amount) of ginger needed made the packet price seem reasonable..going to try it next week maybe w/chicken n 2 kinds of veggies..Target pasta and sauce was just ok.
Got my 2 free Long Term Food Storage/Emergency Food samples! Really impressed w/the hefty bulk of the Legacy pouches and love the 2 flavors ( pasta alfredo (13 oz) and 9 grain cereal (16 oz))! Not impressed w/the ReadyWise offering of Creamy Pasta and Veggies ( don't like any of the veggies, keeping it for barter). Have yet to try the Legacy but hope to in a few wks.
Fitness: working out 3x/wk for the 3rd week in a row...have been eating well on those days & in general, no fast food except for 1 McDs trip & 2 Little Caesars stops ( including today for the 50% off special, but that gave me an extra 2 miles of walking) in the past month & a half, a Blanes trip and 1 HLS ( last 2 at least are healthier options of fish/rice)..have been averaging only 1-2 meat days a week! Haven't had a burger in over 2-3 weeks! Not even cooked at home...I read an article that said my cheap lunches of pbnj and saimin are really good recovery foods for my workouts, which is great cuz they are also quick to make hehe n perfect for days when I want something hot and something not.
Insurance: picked up the BIG LETTER from them at the Post Office and really sucked that I had to pay the extra postage cuz it didn't tell me if there was any resolution to my case....lady called me last Friday, left her usual vague ass vm of stating her name, where she works & to call her back. I called her back that day, left her a voicemail and left a 2nd message on Monday...still haven't gotten a call back as of today at almost 2 PM, WTF lady??
Job hunt/interviews: Now both my Mom & my sister have told me not to mention/put my former work here at my future job apps/interviews and so the other day, with a position at the A+ program at my old ( & super close to my place) Elementary School, didn't mention it during my phone interview; but w/a factory packer app, they specifically ask if you have been fired & if that firing was due to poor job performance ( even tho, my firing reasons were false, still counts), so I just dropped filling out the app..thanks, fuckers ( my old work)! I applied for 2 HMC open positions so hopeful there too..
Money: starting to track my spending habits...just to see how much my critical thinking helps counter my sometimes impulse buying..hoping to keep it under $150-$200 for the next month-2 months if I can help it..my sister keeps asking if I am planning any trips to the mainland, I say no and....I am like do I really need to say I need a job first? Need to save $ for rent/bills and good decision of mine to stock up on food when I did too..
Weather: felt my 1st earthquake since moving back! It was a real doozy too, 6.2! It has been raining every day for over a week ( 1 day/night, we averaged 1-3" of rain AN HOUR for 8 hrs of rain), and it has rained on both my walks to the gym and on my way back from doing my soda run the other day...it has also rained on/off for 2 wks prior..
