Finished the class, got the certificate, can run the machine by myself. Now I just have to practice and improve.

I did fit into the jeans I couldnt fit into before I moved here, but I am still not happy with how flabby I feel. Going to try to start running again with the couch to 5k workout and doing push-ups, crunches, and walking to make myself feel better again.

As part of our orientation for flow class we were given a bag that will be perfect for holding the emergency preparedness kit.
Im looking forward to getting this done at the end of the week and towards getting rid of the shoe boxes under the bed with cans of tuna in them.

Last week I started walking home from work and managed to go all week without junk food. Tonight I worked out in the gym in the hotel and I would feel alot better tonight if I hadnt eaten an entire foot-long sub for dinner. Tomorrow will be better, I will feel a little more comfortable here by myself. I am hoping to be able to return to a healthier lifestyle at the end of the week.

1st day of training went well. The hotel is great (my room is bigger than my apartment) and we have been provided with so much information. I think that I will feel confident enough when I leave to actually run our FACS machine.

Oh Im not a patient person and this is taking up so much of my time. I really hope this leads to something great.

Here is my link if anyone wants to take a peek:

Ill post my site name once I have more up and running. This is really time consuming. I just spent a couple of hours just getting three images uploaded into all the products I want to sell. Im keeping my fingers crossed, I hope this works.

Ive started looking into this, and Im a little afraid. There is so much there already, and there seems to be some copyright infringement going on. I doubt very highly that the US marine corp is condoning greeting cards on cafepress.com, as would Obama. Does anyone know what precautions are taken on the site. I don’t want to upload a bunch of photography only to have it stolen by someone else.

Next on my list are:
make footstools for the patio out of canvas and grocery bags
a clock for the desk made out of a tea tin
placemats made out of decorative paper and either laminated or sandwiched between vinyl
a garbage can out of stuff we would have thrown away
window coverings so I can stop using the hideous vertical blinds
more bowls
candlesticks out of nuts and bolts

Tomorrow I am headed to a store in Oakland that is like a thrift store for recycled products. I cant wait to see what they have.

Today I made candle holders for the patio from the bottoms of soda cans. I punched holes in them with a nail and cant wait to light them tonight to see if they actually look cool or not.

Stuffed two shoe boxes under the futon today. One has some cans of tuna, (adding more food slowly) and the other has aluminum foil, dental floss, matches, a lighter, candles, a swiss army knife, a couple of paper coasters (for starting bigger fires) and hand sanitizer in it.

Off the list.
It would have been a week tomorrow, but Im not going to be here and anticipate either walking a lot at night this week or using the fitness center at the hotel. Besides, I spent about 5 hours today walking around the city, so I think that counts twice.

I didnt realize that NG was so freaked out about us having an earthquake until we started talking about it, so I am going to put together a kit for him.
The kit is going to contain:
water
myoplex bars
a crowbar
glow sticks
flahslight with extra batteries
bleach
hand sanitizer
painkiller
dustmasks
and a tupperware container with cash in it.

Its going under the futon for safe keeping.

Im giving up on this for a little while. Its going to be a while before I pay off the bills I want to pay off.

I am having problems finding copper wire without going into a chain store. I am going to have to find a place online that sells it, but I hate paying shipping and handling for something so small.

I downloaded GIMP and it seems to be ok. I need to play with it, but for now I think it will be good enough and therefore I am crossing this off the list.

So worth staying out of it. Now if I could only stay out of crazy family gossip so easily.
