a little bit of this, a little bit of that

Oy. How is it July already?

Well, hopefully you all had a wonderful Fourth. Mine, the typical family hilarity and drunken debauchery: water balloon launcher (which, after many years of use, finally broke this year.) bingo, with prizes, and lots and lots of alcohol. The potato gun did not make an appearance this year.  I did make a shit-ton of jell-o shots, however. I am pretty sure I drank the majority of those shots.

I also drank over two bottles of wine.

I was feeling pretty good.

Oh, and while shooting off water balloons across the street, I broke two windows in the vacant building. Oops.

Everyone was surprised to see me emerge from my room bright and early Sunday morning. Apparently, I may have drank more than I thought I had.

Odd, other than being dehydrated, I felt fine. (old habits.)

Yesterday was so damn gorgeous outside that I went for two walks. Yes, it was a beautiful day, but more importantly, I wanted to walk off the four pounds of alcohol bloat I had gained in one day. Blech.

On the weight loss front: I have lost 11 pounds since arriving back home. I have nine more to go to lose all of the grad school weight gain. Amazing the difference what a decreased stress level can make.

Boyfriend arrives back today (he went home for the holiday and his birthday), we are both super excited about this (that we get to see each other.)  Yay.

Still looking for more permanent work. Still nothing out there. Today with my tutoring appointments, I should have made $32. I will make $12. Yeah, rewarding work, but not the most reliable or best guarantee that the bills will be paid on time. Full-ish time work starts at the end of this month. I am enjoying the reprieve while I have one.
