Ash Wednesday-Part 2

It's Ash Wednesday. I decided to give up soda, chocolate, and a human being. The last one will be expecially challenging considering it was someone that I really liked. I spent the majority of today in bed. I did get up as usual this morning and did my daily searches and submissions. I found myself sending out my "dd" version also. I call that the dummy down version of my resume. It's where I have removed some of my accomplishments and education so that I won't be ruled out of a postion because of being overqualified. Kind of ticks me off that this is what it comes down to.

I also found myself crying at different points. Tomorrow is another day. I need to get back into working out since it directs my attention elsewhere for an hour or two. Soon the weather will break so i'll be able to walk outside. I think next week i'm going to take myself to a movie. Haven't done that in a long time. Gets me out of confining myself. I also need to look into affordable Spanish classes. The goal is to be fluent by year's end. I think i'm going to got to the high school up the block and see if any of the Spanish teachers there are willing to offer affordable lessons or if I can find a way to sit in on the high school classes in trade for volunteer time in Development.

I'm going to go through my closet tomorrow and get rid of about 40% of what's in there. I find that there is alot of stuff that doesn't fit properly or hasn't been worn in at least three years and i'm hoarding it "just in case". Need to lighten the load in here and get even more organized. I'm about 80% there so this is the last 20. Will take it all to Goodwill over the weekend or early next week. Helps to get rid of this stuff too just in case I do indeed end up homeless. Less stuff to have to part with on the back end. O.K. better go. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
