prosodicI started running my errands, but lunch is interfering with getting them all done at once. A girl has to have her food, you know. ;)
Anyway, the post office was about as far as I had to go, and that is all of 5-10 minutes to drive. So I took care of that, mailed out all the V-Day cards and looked for something to mail Paula's V-Day gift in (we always exchange silly little things on most holidays, except for birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas, when we exchange bigger gifts). They actually didn't have anything...no Priority Mail boxes or anything. And the line was huge. I spied a mailing center across the street - one of those places that does UPS, FedEx, DHL and the USPS. So I went across the street instead.
Nobody was there. Hurrah! So I grabbed a large padded envelope, stuffed her gift down inside (it's not fragile, just bulky), and mailed it out. Done! On the way out, I noticed they were advertising for a full-time position, so I asked for an application. It's minimum wage, which sucks, but nobody said I would have to work there forever. It's just a back-up plan if I don't have any prospects by the end of this week. I already have applications for Barnes & Noble and Bath & Body Works saved on my computer, just in case I hit my "desperate times, desperate measures" point. I am getting close already.
Now...lunch. Half a can of tuna mixed with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon herb seasoning and pepper, spooned over reduced fat Wheat Thins. I'm eating small meals several times a day. Back on my plan. I'm only a pound and a half off my ideal weight, but I'm slipping back into bad habits, which is really the problem.
After this, I go back out and finish errands. Hopefully by the time I get back, my paycheck will be in the mailbox, and I'll have a box of books sitting at the door.
Oh...one more thing...I have been tracking visitors to my blog (not this one, but![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
itinerantwriter) since Thursday...my friend Sam helped me set it up via Yahoo Messenger. Anyway, I am AMAZED at how many people are reading and from where. Most of my readers are from Germany, with the Netherlands and UK coming up in 2nd and 3rd place. But I have readers from Romania, Czech Republic, Norway, Singapore, Australia...all over the US and Canada. I'm truly astonished. It's also interesting to see what search terms led people to my blog. Some of them are pretty entertaining.
