Update On Sonic And Other Things

Okay, so I do have to call the vet.  The swelling’s not going down and I think he does have a broken/bent tooth.

On the job front, I’ve had my first week at Pizza Hut and it’s going well.  The area’s one I’m not entirely familiar with, but there’s a map, so I’m learning.  I may invest in a GPS, but I’m not completely decided on that.  I know if I got one, I’d be lazy as far as learning directions, preferring to rely on that instead of my own sense, and I’d rather not lose my sense of direction.  That lack of one is what made me lose Monmouth County once!

Money front, I’m not doing bad on.  I’m putting all my change into my little lock box, separated into which coin is what so it can wait to be rolled whenever I get coin rolls.  I spent money on gas, food, paying Denny back, and starting to give money back to my parents, so even though I made over a hundred, I don’t have much left.  It’s okay, though.  I’m working tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and I’ll have the schedule for the following week by Sunday or so.  (Their weeks are weird.  They go from Wednesday of one week to Tuesday of the next.  Then paychecks are every other Monday.)  Work does have direct deposit, but I’m not gonna worry about that.  I’ll just cash/deposit my paychecks every Tuesday.  (I worked last Mionday from 5-11 and I work this one for the same time.  It’ll just be easier to go in and get my paycheck when I work and then cash it the next day.)  It’ll take me a little while to do it, but I’m determined to get my money issues back on track and get ahead.  So far, so good.

The gym contest officially starts on Friday.  The gym Denny belongs to is doing a "Transform Your Body" contest.  I guess last year, Denny won third place, and he’s got the before and after pictures in a private album on his Facebook.  Well, I decided I’d join him this year.  I admit, most of the inspiration to do so comes from the fact that the winner gets a thousand dollars, but there’s also the fact that even if I don’t win, I’ll lose a good deal of weight in the process.  That’s the hope, anyway . . .

We’re hitting the gym tonight, around eight or so.  Then, knowing us, we’ll come back to my house and play Mario Party after I give Sonic his medicine.

I hope this contest works out.  It goes for twelve weeks, from January 27th to April 20th, so if I can lose a pound a day and never backslide/maintain, that’ll be 84 pounds lost by the time the contest ends.  This will make me happy.
