tis cold tonight. i have a teeny tiny bit of weed that i got like a few hours ago to smoke, but i've been putting it off cause it's like the last i'll probably have for awhile and i want to make it last, as sad as that sounds haha! i was working on a journal this whole time.. and it took forever to get right! well, friday begins the atkins diet. meat, vegetables and fruit. it shouldn't be too bad.. i already live off meat everyday, so that won't change. there's a few vegetables that i like, and i love fruits. i don't drink anything with caffeine anyway, so that's good. just water and decaf tea. basically cutting out all carbos altogether. it'll be hard with no ketchup, fries, bread, pasta, chips, chocolate... so many good things. even my salad dressing i have to stop eating. damn. but i suppose if it works then that's all that matters cause then i'll be happy. just have to spend the rest of this week finishing off what there's left in the kitchen. not much though. there's meat.. but that's ok. two cans of spaghetti sauce, can of cream of mushroom soup (for slop), oreo cookie bars, peeps, jelly, bread..that's all i can remember seeing.
i've narrowed down the apartments in anchorage to about 7 that will allow nigel, or so they say. not that there's any real need to find out about them just yet.. better to be safe then sorry! which also reminds me, $2381 for moving all our shit (6 feet truck) there. we pack and unpack and they drive. i'm just nervous about the expensive stuff like the computer, tv, vcrs, dvd player.. important things. but, it's better then us trying to haul it all there and deal with 5 animals, since it seems like we might be taking 5 now. fun! i might spend a week or two at my parents house this summer, just to get some quality time spent with them since it'll be more then a year before i see them again. i was thinking of iowa state fair week, cause i can't miss the fair! it's so much fun, not really... but it has the BEST food! but that's also in the middle of august. and august in iowa is far from pleasant. in a way i really don't want to spend a whole week there. i can barely stand to stay a couple days. though i suppose it might make them happy seeing as they are against me going in the first place and think i'm making a huge mistake. that's ok though. they can say that.. cause i know that i'm not. there's way much more i can do there then i could ever do here in this.. sucky ass midwest. the only good thing is the tornadoes and snow. but they all seem to be missing me.
supposedly abbie has found some place to live. brad might be put into a halfway house soon. after the weekend we'll all know how much in taxes more we'll have to pay. nebraska = sucks. they're raising the alcohol tax (which doesn't affect me), the cigarettes tax (grrr!), sales tax, state tax, taxing labor and remodeling jobs, a few other new taxes and letting 500 prisoners of a maximum security prison free. they believe that they'll save a few thousand every year by closing the prison and freeing all the prisoners, so that's what they're voting to do. wise move! all to take place after october 1st. i hope i'm gone by then.
