I'm making it official

I'm under the big number. And I did it by the end of August. Basically. When you are busy doing other things, like having hobbies or reading or sewing or fixing your upstairs, you don't eat things. And then you lose the 40 pounds you gained in the past 5 years. But, I should say that I've only lost 10 pounds(ish) so far. 30 to go. But, that's just numbers. How I feel is more important. I've definitely had more energy since the 10 lbs have gone.


Hooray!


G.Nate is around (and by around, I mean that he is sleeping here for the weekend in a basic sense), but I haven't seen him since 9:15 this morning. So, hopefully, he found a place to live and is still alive.

Jake should be home from work pretty soon.

I have been working on my upstairs today, since it is essentially my room. It needs to be re-insulated rather badly, because I can feel the heat POURING in from above. It's yucky. I painted a bit more and I should probably paint more, because I basically just want to be done with the upstairs, so I can finish moving boxes around already and then actually start sewing things again -- I have many projects that I have started and I would like to finish them. And then start new ones. :)

I got my refund from UWM yesterday in the mail. I deposited it in the bank and UWM draws from US Bank, so my funds were immediately available to me. It is the only semester that I plan on taking my total amount that I am offered. But, it is good -- pays off all the cards and pays for Florida in January. I know that I have to pay it back when I am done with school (and I think that this will be it), but, at least the interest rates are not ridiculous. I'm also hanging on to some of the amount, in case school all of a sudden comes back at me and says, you weren't supposed to get that much, BUT, it DID disperse, so I think that I'm okay.

I really should study for my first Thursday class. I guess we have a comprehension test on the first day, which actually counts toward the grade. It's basically stuff that we should know already by heart, but it never hurts to review. It can take a while to get back in the swing of things.

The rest of my year is going to be very busy...I have rehearsals for the MFSO on mondays, and class wednesdays and thursdays. And, that's okay.

Well, off to do other stuff and wonder where Jake is.
