i’m going to not bake any more desserts and cookies for awhile. i can only eat so many … i’ll finish baking the lemon cookie dough in the freezer this weekend and give them away. and i’ve got some meal planning to do …. eating peanut butter sandwiches for dinner isn’t going to cut it. and i’ve got stop with the late night snacking. but so far this month i’ve brought lunch to work every single day … haven’t made a trip to Subway yet. and i’ve got another week left.

i managed to do some of my hw over the weekend but finished the rest before class. my goal was to make it to lab during the weekdays instead of weekend but it hasn’t happened yet.

my room’s a mess even though i’ve hanged and put away my clothes. i called some of the labor services on craigslist about picking up some furniture and they never called me back yet their ads are always there. but i’ve got to take my clothes down to the thrift store for donation and ebay some hard drives that are sitting around.

i’ve been very good at keeping track of expenses in a notebook.

if the weather improves (this rain is unpredictable!) i’m going to try really hard and drag myself out of bed early and go running. i’ve been slacking in the exercise department!

red envelopes were sparse this year … my dad was incredibly generous and gave me $100 which went into my HSBC savings account. some family members chose not to give because they were having a hard time financially which I understand. but when i look at how they handle their finances i just know why they’re in trouble … buying a car that’s way too expensive and unaffordable, too much eating out and spending recklessly. oh well.

sorry for such a long comment! happy lunar new year!
