So, I got a new job 3 weeks ago as a part time Accounting Assistant. This will help me get the experience I need so that when I graduate next August 2022 with my Masters in Accounting I will be more appealing to employers.
I'm still working at my other part time job at the clothing store too, but less frequently. In fact I took the whole summer off from that job cause I am taking a summer class and its intense. It's called Accounting Theory and it's a lot of work. I've been working there since July 2018. It's the longest I've ever held a job.
Yesterday my brother flew in from Qatar where he is a teacher, I drove to Houston to pick him up and bring him here to help celebrate my mom's birthday. It was nice to see him. We went shopping and had lunch.
He was advising me on how to start running, which is my goal eventually. He was also advising me on where to look for hip places to live in Houston. I was considering the Uptown-Galleria area but he said there are better places, so I will check around.
Oh yea I bought a new car too. A 2018 Toyota Camry. It's pretty lux too with nice rims and all the up to date technology. I'm not sure what model it is but it looks like a sleek sports car.
I sent a formal apology to several of my old friends who I wronged in the past. I realized that my negative percetion and judgements of them was based on my own untreated depression at the time.
I also was pretty closed minded on some progressive issues, which is a problem because I was friends with some progressive people. I'm ashamed of my verbiage around gay rights in particular.
I miss my friend Kevin. I miss my friend Charles. I don't even know Charles last name to try to look him up.
My friend group use to be so great and supportive and I treated them like shit.
I wanted to make sure I was completely healed and not depressed anymore before I apologized to my friends. If they let me back in their lives, I don't want to re-traumatize them with my issues. But I am doing 100% better now. Being on medication and staying in therapy has helped me a lot.
Oh I decided to halt my weight loss efforts. I'm at 165 pounds. I'm going to just maintain this weight until I can hire a personal trainer to help me prepare for a bodybuilding competition in the bikini division. That will be about 2-3 years away, so my goal is to maintain my weight for a couple of years. This meant that I raised my calories up a little bit. I raised them to 1500, it would be nice if I can raise them to 1600 but we will see.
I still have binge eating issues, but I am not gaining weight because MOST of the time I stick to my diet. But like last week I went to my mom's house twice and both times I ate cheesecake. I didn't binge on them but I definitely went over my calories. But yesterday I was driving home alone from dropping off my brother in Houston and I stopped to pee at Buccees and ended up buying a big bag of Sugar-Free milk chocolate covered almonds. I ate the whole bag really fast. Oh yesterday I also ate pad thai, and thai ice tea at my mom's birthday luncheon. I shouldn't have had the thai iced tea cause it has cow milk in it. I was going to cancel it but the waiter had already made it and I didn't want to waste it. But yes, I am still a vegan/vegetarian for the animals sake.
