Not much is new. I joined Weight Watchers this week… they have a new plan and it’s pretty cool so far. It’s basically their old flex plan, but they have all the materials in this little portable booklet now and I’m really digging it. Hooray! Today was easy… I think I’ll be successful this time because I’m not in any hurry to lose weight and I’m not making a big deal out of it. I’m also not self-loathing… so I think this could work. I did well today. 🙂

My sugars are through the roof and I don’t know why… okay, so I haven’t checked them in over a year and I’ve pretty much been ignoring the fact that I’m diabetic, but I didn’t think it would get worse… anyway, they’re crazy – but I can deal with it until I go to the diabetes clinic next I think. Plus having high sugars makes it easier to lose weight. If I get hungry I don’t end up with sugars that are super low, thus causing me to eat more or drink something with points.

Soooo Jen is being evicted because she doesn’t pay her rent. Now she thinks she is going to get a townhouse in the same area as me. What the fuck. We pay $1350 a month for rent and then we have like another $300 for gas, hydro, and sewer and water. We both work our asses off at good jobs to pay for this place and we’re only now starting to come out on top. Her plan? Welfare! Yup, she refuses to get a job and sits at home all day talking to men on the internet. Then she baby-sits on the side and scrapes by, but thinks that welfare will pay for her move and give her firsts and lasts month’s rent! I am LIVID. First of all, there is no reason why she can’t get a job and there are plenty available. Second of all, why should my tax dollars go to pay for your move because you didn’t pay your rent? Furthermore, why do I work full-time [and go to school at the same time] to support myself and have a nice life and she just sits on her ass and expects to get the same quality of life? Fuck you. Makes me furious!!!!!!!

Anyway, it’s 11:20pm and I have to watch a lecture before bed. I have a meeting at 9:30 tomorrow morning… I actually have a job, afterall.
