Car Troubles and Groceries

August 28th, 2013 at 05:04 pm

So I broke my car this past weekend. Bottomed it out a bit worse than I had thought when I got out. Halfway through my ride home I heard some hideously awful sounds, and then dragging... which turned out to be my exhaust pipe, still attached at the rear.

I haven't taken it in to get looked at yet. I've been taking the train to downtown-- and thankfully BF had a 5-day pass I could use, so that was free through the beginning of the week (used it the first time last week). I'm afraid to find out how much it's going to cost. I'm not sure the extent of the damage yet, and I'm not thrilled to be putting more money into this car. I was seriously thinking of getting rid of it already. Sigh.

Beyond that, I really let things get away from me this week. I still haven't gone grocery shopping, so I've been eating out a lot. Tonight I'm going to walk to the grocery store and grab some stuff. There's really no excuse for it.

It's been a long week. It's been difficult to focus at work, and the editing job I had sought to finish on Sunday got pushed back because revamping my website and putting in that job application took much longer than expected. It also turns out that the editing job is taking much longer as well. So I'm behind on that deadline.

I really need to do something to pull myself out of this funk. I don't think it's helping that I've been eating a bunch of junk, or that my allergies are running rampant. But I need to figure something out. It's a bit rough at the moment. I need to get excited. About anything, really.

I think part of the problem is that I've let my goals get away from me. I need to figure out some way to get them front and center. What I'm doing right now isn't working.

At any rate, I hope you all have a great day!

    Type out your goals in large font, ranked and numbered;then stick it on a bulletin board by your desk, the fridge, or somewhere you'll see it often. Sounds simple, but it works to keep your goals front and center.

    I also have terrible allergies to wheat, soy, corn, sugar, milk, mold, etc. and found the following book to be a great help recently. I totally modified what I eat and felt better within a day without drugs. I first borrowed a copy from my library to make sure it would be helpful, then I bought a copy on half.com for $1.00 plus shipping of $3.00. It might help you, too.

    @PatientSaver: I definitely need to do this. Maybe I'll change the wallpaper on my computer screen, too! haha. I tend to spend a lot of time seeing it...

    @crazyliblady: I will definitely check that out! I appreciate you sharing with me. I've never been formally diagnosed with an allergy to wheat or gluten, but it seems that I feel so much better when I leave it out of my diet. I also tend to eat much, much healthier!
