Wow...
...it's been a while since I posted in here. Just don't have as much to say, it seems.
Things are going pretty well. I have a job related 'secret project' that I hope to keep hearing back from. Meg's secret project is well under way, too.

Work though, work is driving me nuts. It's been quite stressful of late, dealing with the purchaser. I made a decision a few days ago. I decided that I was not going to try to get myself fired, but that I would stop trying so hard not to get fired. Some folks asked me about that, but think about it...how much extra work do you do around your work so as to ensure that you are seen as a good employee to keep around? I have been putting up with a miserable excuse of a purchaser for over a year now, and it's not getting better. She's still trying to foist blame off on me whenever something goes wrong. The job's just not worth it.

I've been doing well with weight/self-esteem issues lately. I had a few bad patches, but for the most part have really picked up my pace. Doing a monthly budget helped. Meg and I sat down and we both tracked our expenses...and it blew my mind that in a month, I was spending as much on 'extra' food as she was on 'house' food! Basically, I'm sort of ashamed to say, I was supporting my local Tim Hortons, Subway and Dominoes a bit too much. So I've cut way back on that. Of course, that's helping the waistline and the wallet.
Also, kind of proud of myself. My working weight, on two of the arm machines at the gym, is now 210lbs.

Speaking of budgets, having sat down and had a really in-depth look at our combined finances...we've come to the conclusion that we've not really been...mishandling our money, but that we do need to take better care of it, so to speak. Big plans in those ends, too.
