Despite my diminished stomach capacity, I still like to watch food shows. I learned how to make turducken on the Food Network. What is turducken you say? Why, it's a chicken, stuffed inside a duck, stuffed inside a turkey- and supposedly tastes fantastic. I think I found my new recipe. I want to make turducken for my family.

I added up my calorie intake for yesterday and found out it's only about 600 calories. The goal is supposed to be 900-1400, but since I don't want to and sometimes cannot eat more than that, I don't know how much more I can increase it. Today I tried but I'm still only around 750 calories. I just don't feel hungry and when I do, I can only eat 5 ounces at a time. What a struggle!

I learned that my car is in the crapper. The catalytic converters are both plugged up and there's no way beside replacement to fix it. The estimate at the local shop quoted me $1100. There's no way I can afford that. I'm currently looking at alternatives. Universal catalytic converters cost $150 a piece(I need two), but I was warned against them. Direct fit ones are $250 a piece, and that comes to $500. That's about all I have available to fix the car, so if I go that route, I won't be able to pay for labor. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do here. I could try to get another car, getting another car loan with my bank(my last payment is this month actually), but I like this car and I think it's salvageable... I just can't pay to have it salvaged.

I'm gonna need a miracle on this one.
