Things and Stuff

• @measuringlife and @snapthistiger I really didn’t make it a big announcement. We’ve been together for awhile now. So you didn’t miss anything! I generally have referred to him as “the bf” or “my bf”. I can see how one might skip over that. Things are good! We are going to New York next week to see his family. I’m excited for a vacation.
• I wish losing weight was as easy as gaining it. I am so mad that I ever gained any weight back that I could scream. Losing 20 pounds is so much harder this time around. I’m extremely thankful for friends like @two-o-nine to talk me off the proverbial ledge. It is so easy to get down on myself, but Brooke is such a good cheerleader. Everyone needs a friend like that. #squad.
• This afternoon I felt like my heart was either racing or going super slow, so I used the app on my phone to see which one it was. It was the latter. My co-worker freaked out and said that was “not good!” She said she’s been a runner her whole life (she’s 60) and her heart rate isn’t that slow. I told her that her age made a difference, and that my heart is just really efficient. Fun Fact: It has been as low as 35 BPM resting. #runnerprobs
• I got an estimate for the damage on my car: it will be $2000!!! I’m leaning towards not fixing it yet, I really can’t afford the $500 deductible because I had to get a root canal and crown so that’s costing me nearly $600 out of pocket, with the premium dental plan at my work. Sigh.
• I’m considering getting a PT waitressing job in the Haymarket in Lincoln. (It’s the district with restaurants, the arena, and shops). A friend hosted at a sushi joint there and said even on Wednesdays servers made $300 a night! I feel like I could manage that for a few months, just to make the money I need to cover some of these unexpected expenses. Stay tuned.
• I cannot believe tomorrow is the last day of August. This month has FLOWN by.

Have a good night friends!
