Right now, I'm getting things together to get ready to move into the apartment this weekend. The good thing is that I don't have a whole hell of a lot to move. However, after using the local laundromat for a couple of weeks, I am planning on buying a washer & dryer after I move in.

The bad thing is that shit is expensive around here! Rent is expensive. Insurance is expensive (if you can even get it around here). Services are expensive (electricity, phone, internet). Gym membership is much more expensive! At least I got a deal on DirecTV service. The issue is: will I have a clear view of the southern sky? I REALLY help so. If I don't, then Charter Cable is an expensive piece of shit.

I am REALLY hoping I get a raise at work in a little over a month. At lunch the past couple of days, I've been talking with a co-worker about all the shit I have to deal with. Then, I find out she has it even worse. Maybe I shouldn't feel so crappy after all. I still do, though. Let's see what happens in a few weeks.

I know I've been bitching a lot lately. It's just been a lot of pressure getting everything set up and getting ready to move. I've lived in Slidell for almost 20 years, and to be honest, I probably wouldn't live here again.

I would have updated earlier, but we had a quick power outage this afternoon. I hope to write again after I get settled in my new crib.

For the past week, I've had the house all to myself. Since my apartment won't be ready for a couple more weeks, I had to live somewhere. However, it just feels so damn empty up in here. Yeah, I can do what Alanis Morisette recommended and walk around naked in my living room. I can play music as loud as I want. Still, it's so lonely.

The hardest part of living alone is making a budget. Gotta pay for electricity, water, internet access, television, insurance, rent, etc., etc. It makes me realize that I'm grossly underpaid at work. My review is in a couple of months, and I'm hoping for a pretty good raise. In my own mind, I feel I should get a raise. However, my mind doesn't make those decisions.

Speaking of work, they're sending me to Atlanta in July for a seminar on diplomacy in the workplace. Finally, a class I can use. Much better than classes on Outlook and Access, that's for sure.

Enough ranting. I am actually being successful on my weight loss so far. As of June 4, I am at 223 pounds and an estimated 25% body fat. On March 4, I was 240 pounds and an estimated 36% body fat. I don't do anything fancy, but I make sure I do it. I gotta get up the weight loss section this weekend.

Time for bed, and fun with traffic on the way to work. Did I mention some douchebags tried to wreck me on the way home this afternoon? Yep, tried to run me off the road on purpose. I tried calling the police number, but it didn't work. Too bad.

Alright, then.
