So.. things have definitely taken a direction that was probably unexpected when I made my first post. I've moved since the last time I wrote... I am a lot closer to work which I am quite happy about. I am still settling into my new place and have to do and buy a few things to make it "comfortable" but at this point it looks like I am going to be living at the new place for at least a year, with the option to renew after every year. The potential total of living at the new spot is roughly 5 years... By that point I hope to have enough money in savings so that I can buy my own place, Preferably a 3 bedroom home. That way my parents are able to move in with me and they can retire in a home rather than living in an apartment during their retirement.
This weekend is sure to be fun... Tonight I have a friend coming over to have a few drinks and hang out... maybe play some card games. Tomorrow I am getting my cat back (YAY!!!) I didn't want to move him while things were still up in the air so it seems that now that I am settled in I can move him without a problem. Also tomorrow I am going to go see one of my cousins to help her with some computer issues. Sunday (hopefully) I am driving out to CT to go see my girlfriend and hopefully spend the day with her. I haven't seen her since last Friday, and I am actually kind of missing her.
So... my 30th birthday comes up in just over two months and I am planning on doing something special. My mom and I had a plan to go to atlantic city over the course of the birthday weekend and my uncle decided he wants to tag along. I am probably driving there (6 hours away). And we will likely be spending the night. It should be a good time. I'll have about 500 to take with me so figure 150 for gas, tolls, and food... and the other 350 for playing. I'm hoping I'm lucky that weekend because if I could come away with a few extra bucks... or atleast pay for the room and other expenses from my winnings i'd be quite happy.
Things that are going on this month include... Figuring out a diet plan. Figuring out an exercise plan. Trying to create a daily routine that includes all forms of hygiene (i'm schizoaffective and sometimes hygiene isn't high on my list). Figuring out a budget for October. Attempting to quit smoking (Target date October 1st). Cutting down on drinking (this week was an exception, but im hoping to cut down to just Friday and Saturday).
