I am so thankful I finally have that stomach virus out of my system. I actually was able to eat a full meal and keep it down yesterday, after like… a week of saltines, Gravol and ginger ale/water, and it was a joyous occasion. I get paid tonight at midnight, and I’m going to celebrate by going to the vegan café tomorrow morning after work and having some organic oatmeal and fruit for breakfast.

My resolutions are off to a good start… it seems that I may be able to get out of debt faster than I thought, so that’s one started. I accidentally overpaid my phone bill last month, so I can get past this month with that credit. I need to take out a small pay day loan to help pay my other due bill, but that will be the last one I need to take out because I’ll be at $0.00 on my account until next month. And then I should be financially in the clear. I’m thinking about applying for a credit card through my bank to put my bills on… that way I can just take care of them all at once. I was talking to my dad about it, and he said that that might be the best way to do it, because not only does it take care of everything at once, it also will improve my credit rating. Which… I desperately need right now. Six months of unemployment… really can ruin a girl’s credit rating.

I’m coming up to my first 90 evaluation at work. I think it’s supposed to be on the 15th. I’m really nervous. Jason said that all of the full-time people will be staying on (which is me), that it’s really only for the part-time workers and the temps, but I’m still nervous about it. I know that it’s not going to be perfect, because I was out sick for a while (more than a while), but I still hope it’s decent. I’ve busted my ass for these people, I deserve something back. I have to go to work tonight, and I’m not really wanting to. I’d rather be wrapped up in my Edward Cullen blanket (it was a Christmas present ) with a book and just… read until I pass out. My body is still recovering from being sick. Bleh.

I really need to work on this site. I just… keep getting distracted by Facebook and all of its sparkling games. It’s either Facebook that’s distracting me, or it’s Charlaine Harris novels. Ah. Need to buckle down.

So I hope everyone had a lovely New Years. I spent mine curled up with the stomach flu, watching my friends and my little brother get wasted. Not how I would have wished it, but better than nothing I guess. They are rather entertaining, though, so say the least. LOL. To keep with the tradition, though… first post of the New Year will be my list of resolutions. I’m feeling good that I’ll be able to stick with them this year… this year isn’t going to have that huge cloud of negative high schoolesque drama that seemed to follow me around in 2009.

01 Keep a job. Not that losing my job last year was my fault, but if I should lose my job, I will do everything in my power to secure a new one right away instead of wasting six months in the unemployment line.

02 Manage my finances better. I really need to do my best to get and keep a $0.00 balance on all of my accounts each month. I need to get ahead, not behind.

03 Keep up with my house cleaning and don’t let the house fall into disarray. I also need to get my boyfriend and my room mate’s cleaning up when I’m not home, because it’s unacceptable that I’ve let their laziness go on for this long.

04 Enroll in a gym/fitness program, actually stick with it and make a good dent into my weight loss goal of losing 100 lbs.

05 Complete my transition into the vegan lifestyle and make it work. My attempts in 2009 were… sad, at best. I’m hoping to build a good support system online, so that the fact that I have no support system for this decision offline won’t bring me down again.

06 Stop worrying so much what others think. I need to stop denying myself happiness in the pursuit of making everyone else happy. They don’t grant me the same courtesy.

07 Go on at least on vacation out-of-province. The end of October is the time for this that I have my eye on.

And… I think that’s it. I’ll probably add more to the list as I think of things. And to my affiliates and friends, I apologize for not commenting a lot recently… I’ve been stranded on the couch because of my nausea and vertigo, but I will try my best in the next couple of days to catch up with you all.

Oh! And as a final note for today’s entry… everyone needs to go out and purchase the CD “Night Is The New Day” by Katatonia. This CD is amazing, and it’s all I’ve been listening to for the last… week, I guess. LOL. Get it. You won’t be sorry.
