Regular Routine
Today I got up and did my regular routine for the most part. I ate breakfast, I went to work and went grocery shopping. I didn't get a lot at the store since our food stamps haven't come in yet and I don't know why. They are supposed to come in on the 3rd, and Sunday is the 3rd, so we are supposed to get them today. I can call tomorrow and see if they are in, but I don't know why they wouldn't come in today. I guess that's just the way the government works. I got my paycheck today, so I bought the groceries that we would need until the next time we have the car, next Thursday. I got some turkey and bread so I can make turkey sandwiches. I wanted to get zucchini, but I didn't. I regret that now... I've been craving it. I like it sauteed with some butter. I know it's something yummy that I can use a side dish and it's a veggie that Geo will eat. I'm trying to get him to eat more veggies. He eats corn and spinach, and romaine lettuce. He doesn't like raw carrots, so I have to get him the romaine blend for him to eat salad. I can't wait until I can get some salad. I may ask him to go back to the store tomorrow so I can get some things for me. I forgot... today I was just worried about the rain since it was raining when we went shopping.
I lost a chunk of tooth on the day my Nana died. It kinda fell to the wayside after I found out about my Nana. I went to the dentist and they are going to pull the tooth on Tuesday. I have to wake up early, so I'm not looking forward to that. I might go in early on Monday to try and get in the habit of waking up early. We will see. I also need to get in the habit of waking up earlier since I want a job, and most likely there's not going to be a job that's just afternoons. I have to deal with waking up before noon. It's not something I like to think about doing, but it's something that needs to be done if I want to get a job. I know it's going to be hard for me, but I have to do what I have to do to get a job. I don't want to get fired. I know I can do it, it just requires me to go to sleep earlier and take a nap in the day. I don't know how well I'm going to deal with that, so that's why I want to start waking up early and all that. I want some practice.
Mood today was good... I was wanted in Managed Care, but there was no desk for me. There was another volunteer there, and so they put me in the information desk. They liked me there, too, since I speak Spanish. Although today I was trying to help people in Spanish and I couldn't figure out what they were saying for the life of me. This one woman had a high voice that I just couldn't figure out the words she was saying. Another guy wanted this person paged, and I couldn't read the name. It was something funky that I had never seen before. I just had him write the name down and I tried to read it, but my boss came up to me and said that we don't page people like that anymore, so I didn't have to read it. Other than that, it was a slow day at work. I wish I would have been with Managed Care, the day would have gone by much faster. I think I have to get there earlier to secure my spot. I should call before I get there to see if there is a space for me. I know they want me there rather than the other volunteers since I can get more done faster. When I went to visit them when I was leaving, they were all frustrated that I wasn't helping them. I wanted to help them, but the boss doesn't know how good I am with the computer.
Food today was bad... I was over my calories and I'm still kinda hungry. I had 2 fiber bars, one for breakfast and one for a snack. I also had some chicken gumbo, and Taco Bell for dinner. I had 2 burritos and a taco. I should have gotten something smaller, or not eaten the second burrito, but we were stuck there in the rain for a while so I just ate it since it was there. That's one problem I do have- when there is food in front of me, I will eat it even if I'm not hungry. It just has to be there for me to want to eat it. Geo is the same way. That's why I have to hide food and hurricane supplies. I don't know where I'm going to put them this year. Geo doesn't seem to understand the concept of stocking up on food in case of an emergency. He just eats whatever he wants when he sees it. I swear, if he lived at my stepdad's, he would go through all of my stepdad's food in less than 6 months. My stepdad has a ton of food, a closet and garage full of food. But Geo would eat it all, and keep shopping for more and eating more. I just don't know what I'm going to do about that.

Could it be the holiday has delayed the workings of the government? Hope the FS show up as they sure can be a huge help.
I like your plan for establishing a daily schedule to fit the working day. If you can get in the swing of earlier wakings before your get hired it will be less stressful.
Good luck with getting your tooth pulled.
It\'s great that you want to get up earlier and try to get into a routine so you can get a job. Good idea.
You realized something important at taco bell... you eat food when it\'s in front of you. now you can make a goal to not do that. Maybe, you can start by cutting back and not finishing it.. ? Good luck with changing that habit.. it will take time but if you work on it (and don\'t worry about slips) you will change it . I have faith in you./
Good luck with getting your food stamps.
good luck on tuesday. great idea to start slowly changing your routine to be able to work, great thinking ahead. i think the key is going to bed earlier so you can still sleep almost as much. i think the change will be good. its ok about the slip up on food, fast food is so tempting and as said above, you came to realize something about your eating habits. maybe pretend, or better yet, only bring a set amt. of money so you can only eat what would be the right amt. for you. i hope you have recieved you\\r fs check, that is strange it didnt arrive, from what i have heard, the government is good about the delivery.
