So things have been just trying to get me down lately. The obesity thing, for starts. I think I'm mostly done with caring about it, and have been trying to turn the negative thinking into positive action. I do sometimes get pangs of wanting to throw up after eating even small meals, but I don't follow through. The fact that the thought and feeling come to me, though, is pretty gross.
I started the ESPP at work, and while I expected my cheques to go down, this one was $400 less than I usually get. I'm only giving $225/cheque, so where have my extra $175 gone? I am sad. I can make rent, but only if I dip heavily into the money I set aside to pay for the condo in Hawaii for next month. This depressed me. I haven't had cheques this low since I was in Uni. Even my EI cheques were bigger. Yeah, it's bad. So I'm cancelling the share purchase thing for the time being. I know that the money I contributed isn't gone. I know I'll have access to it. I just had bad timing with starting the payments. I'll bring it right down to minimum for now and try again in two or three months when my finances are back in order.
Cherrystems is a labour of love, but one that lately has been stressing me out. I need to get some things going on with it again. It hasn't really declined, but it's plateaued. This gets me down. I'm not giving up, but I do need fresh life breathed into it. I'm building a kind of presentation thing for the bonfire night we have coming up so people can know what we have, what we need, and what they can do.
I took a job as an Assistant Voting Clerk or something. I'll be working the provincial election on the 4th, all day. That'll make me enough money to fly to Hawaii and back, so that's nice.
Today was my first real workout at that gym. Turns out I like it. It's a Curves, so it's mainly middle-aged or old ladies - and the workout is actually pleasant. Hmmm, maybe I'll keep going? Plan is to go in the morning for their (enormously silly) Zumba class. It's circuit training with dancing. Yeah, dancing.
