Last night when I
went to bed I felt strangely hungry. I had just ate a pretty good
sized Pork Steak. That's all I had, but I was satisfied after dinner.
But a couple of hours later my stomach was kind of rumbly
Today started off
AMAZINGLY I woke up and today was down 4.8 lbs (2.1 kg) waist is down
2in (5 cm) and the Rent and Grocery Checks came through on the same
day that the Pay Check came in. I'm always holding my breath for the
week or two it takes for the Rent Check to come through. So it is
always a massive relief when it comes in.
The challenge for
today is not to spend any money. And I made it through the day
without spending anything. This is one of my goals. Sure I didn't
spend as much on soda as I did on beer, but last year I spent
$3,044.85 on the combination of Soda, Lunch, and Snacks. With the
$3,489.67 that I spent on Beer that is a combined $6,534.52 that I
spent on the random daily spending. That's an average of $17.85 a
day. Some creative rounding makes that $125 a week. Or about $500 a
month! If I remember correctly when I was making payments on the car
that I owned before my current one it was $275 a month. I was
spending almost double in that on the “meh, I think I'll just grab
a drink or a small snack real quick.” A literal financial death by
a thousand cuts.
I did have a Sugar Free Monster Energy with the Bacon Cheeseburger Soup that I had for lunch, but that was from the case that I had bought on Tuesday.
A coworker told
me of some of the issues that she was having with her kid. Last week
one of her sons had passed a test, or did something good in school so
she let him spend $20 in his video game. (I have a notable grudge
against Micro-transactions, but he's not my kid) a couple of days
later while she was at work she got a notification from Microsoft
that another purchase was authorized. And then another notification,
and then another. Eventually she got notified that “she” had
“authorized” almost $150 in purchases for “her” X-Box.
Apparently her other son found out that her credit card was saved on
the X-box and he decided to go shopping. Her mother, the kids'
grandmother, was supposed to be watching them, but she was sleeping.
Coworker was, naturally, upset that he stole from her like that, but the
fact that he didn't ask was more hurtful than the amount that he stole. And then today I guess he decided that he didn't need to go to
school. He wanted to play his X-box. He's 11. And his grandmother was sleeping all day. I was kind of stunned that "playing the X-Box" was still an option for him. She said that she didn't know what to do with him. I don't know if she was telling me to just vent, or for my opinion in options. Again, not my kid, I don't have a kid, so I don't have the perspective to judge, and this is an alien situation to me. I would have never had the thought of skipping school to play video games. And I have a feeling that if I had stolen $150 from Mom to buy stuff for a video game console, I wouldn't HAVE that video game console anymore. Or at the Very least they would have to set up the X-Box in the ICU.
Baked Bratwursts again tonight. Baking these sausages makes for a really easy dinner.
I'm getting
really tired of this dry skin on the back of my hands. It feels like
there's sandpaper constantly grinding on the back of my hands. I
thought about picking up some new lotion after work, but I am still
trying to not spend money on anything for a bit if I can and I
already have lotion at home. But the random blood seeping through the
cracks is a bit concerning as this has never happened before that I
can remember. They don't bleed much as they scab up right away, but
it is still a bit unnerving. I'm going to try to wear some latex
gloves that I have to see if that helps any. (One size fits most my
ass)
