This past week the washer I inherited when I moved into my current place finally decided to quit working. I suppose I could have done a little work and saved some money by investigating as to why it quit, but in the end I decided to have a fresh start with a new washer and bought a new one. It seems pretty easy to work and operate, and has a glass lid so it is possible to watch what is going on while the laundary is being laundered. I haven't figured out how to adjust the load size though, I just had a handfull of whites that needed washed and the machine thought it needed 63 minutes to wash them. I think I did okay buying the machine though, lowes was having a 10% off everything sale, so a thousand dollar machine cost me only nine hundred before taxes. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of some more of my stuff by taking it to the recycling center. Since I have moved in, I have now replaced the dryer, washer, and stove. I have all three of the old ones around and need to just load them in the pickup truck and get a handful of cash for them at the recycler. I also have an old fan I replaced that needs to go now.

I may be falling in an old habit that I need to quit again. I went to a work party with the vet assistant last weekend and didn't drink an extraordinary amount, but probably more than I should have. My sister and her husband want me to go to lake cumberland with them this coming weekend and my brother is having a DTS fraternity campout before the end of the month also. I think I can easily not go to cumberland this weekend, but may have to get more creative with something to during the broheim weekend middle brother is planning. I don't mind the occasional beer or so, but a consistent weekend thing is not what I want to get into. I think the reduced eating schedule I have created is helping some with the weight I am pulling around, but still need to get on the treadmill more. I find it hard to wake up and spend time on the machine, and then think I will get on later in the day. Neither are happening right now, and I think I just need more structure in my daily life. When I was subbing at PHS last fall, I was able to wake up and get 30 or 40 minutes before I had to get ready and leave. Now that I don't have to get out of bed by a certain time, I don't.

I am now closer than ever to being done with my graduate program. I have two classes left to complete on taskstream. One of them I have already done most of the writing for, and I am not sure what the last task will be. If I can get most done by this month, that will still give me all of july and the free month of august to finish up things for good.
