I'd like to cover a few things before I get into my trip to Rhode Island for Goob's wedding.

First off, overtime at work has ended and we're back to normal hours again. I'm still working evenings and switching to an overnight shift kicked me to the curb- it is very difficult to switching to such a late shift. I'm still alive though, it's just going to take time to get used to it.

I applied for and hopefully secured a second job doing what I did before switching to Adelphia... filling vending machines again! Hurray! Actually it's not going to be as bad as the place I worked before, much quieter, and hopefully quicker. The only thing left is passing the drug test. That shouldn't be a problem.

The credit card companies are now starting to take notice of my inability to make the minimum payments and I'm starting to get more calls. I'm going to have to start screening my calls now and get used to not answering the phone immediately. I'll keep you updated but on this topic I am unconcerned. I need to make that emergency savings and then I'll get back to making payments. That's going to take me a few months, even with the second job.

I am planning on another trip to Ohio this year, instead of doing a camping trip. It's much cheaper, will take fewer days, and I really miss my two friends from Ohio. I'd love to see Tecumseh since we were rained out last year, and I'm hoping to visit a theme park as well. I hear King's Island is good.

By the way, I did make the risotto, a chicken and mushroom dish. I thought it was fantastic, my sister thought it was fantastic, so I think I did it right! More on that during the wedding blog.

As of last week I am 380lbs. I'm going to weight myself again sometime soon just to get an exact number again. The weight just keeps melting off! Weight meter on the right has been updated.

That's what I have for now. Next up: The Return to Rhode Island!
