A Week of Realization

I was sitting around my apartment last week and I decided to take a vacation to my parent's house. Its a way to avoid figuring out what to do for dinner. It was also an excuse for me to get away from my apartment for a week. I left on Monday afternoon and got to my parent's house around five. I've basically done nothing since I got here. My days have pretty much gone like this. I've averaged getting up around 11am. Gone to Wawa each day for a coffee. Been on my computer way more than I would have at home. Have watched TV with my parents (while they were up). I'm kinda enjoying FioS but not to the point were i'm ready to switch. They do have some interesting HD channels. But its been good to get away. With Ed being on call this week, its seems kinda dumb for me to go to quizzo alone. I figured this is as close as i'm going to get to a vacation this year. All my friends have their jobs and already have taken their vacations. I got laid off before I could.

I spent Tuesday looking at jobs online. I applied for a couple, but haven't heard anything yet. I basically get my last severance pay on Oct 9th. After that, I had better either have a job or be on unemployment. Otherwise I won't have any income coming in. Its been tough on me. I've been discovering how boring being home is. I can't believe its been 2 1/2 months already. I also realized that I really need to lose some weight. According to my parent's scale, i'm like 270!! Starting Monday, i'm making it my goal to lose weight. The ultimate goal is for me to get down to about 210. If Joe Skirkie can do it, why can't I? I plan on rejoining the gym, start running, and investing in lettuce and tomato and cut out the junk food.
