Heavy lifting is a "bad thing" ™.

So, I had gaming on Sunday, which is not a surprise, since I already posted that. The problem is I did a brilliantly smart thing. [/sarcasm]

I took my "file box" of character sheets with me.

This is a mistake I will not make again.

I have a large amount of tightness in my lower back now. The same thing that I got back before thanksgiving that resulted in me crying like a baby for several hours one day since I could not stand up when I woke up that morning. The pain has not gotten nearly as severe, and I don't think it will, but it's still not cool.

I have Advil with me. It helps some with the pain. Walking helps a lot with the pain. After standing for about 15 or 20 minutes I can walk without issue. So, of course, it's a bad thing that I work at a sit down job.

Still tired. Need to talk to templar_rose. Need to hang out with him and just chat. Need to plan a day to hang out with nofunk81 since he's on Spring Break and all that jazz.

I'm sorta tired. Partly because Keith wanted to chat some last night when he got home, which was ok. Thankfully he more or less listened when I told him I needed to try to get some sleep.

I need to get a better sleep schedule. I'm not tired, but I didn't get up when I wanted to this morning. This must change.

Money, yet again

Well, the events of this last month have made me more money concious. I just checked my balance and, after paying rent, I will have about $150 until my Booth paycheck goes through. I will then have $330. The next week I get paid at Booth and Borders, which means I will have around $1300. Ok. Good. I can put $400 into savings (leaving me $200 behind schedule) and still be able to make bills at the beginning of next month.

It's time to start using my check register. It's time to start examining my bank statements. Time to make an honest budget.

Going to go grocery shopping on the way home tonight. My back won't like it, but it needs to be done. I cannot spend $15+/day on food here at work anymore. Period. End of story.

Going to try to get a variety of foods so that my lunches don't get boring and so that I have more than just cereal for breakfast.

Going to make a list methinks.

Ok so I didn't go shopping

I have enough food for a few days, and I know what I'm taking to work tomorrow for lunch, so it's not really an issue. Plus it'll be easier to plan for weekend food if I wait until later in the week to buy food. Plus I don't have to worry about maybe being late for Buffy.
