Life is just a long continuum of change..AK update

Whether people are just being nice, if if they actually care is irrelevant to me because it offers a perfect blog post.

I am graduating in one week and to prepare for all that comes with that, I quit my full-time job. My "going out" party was provided by the staff in the Mercy ER and was a peanut butter theme...perfect! The spread consisted of scotch-a-roos, NUTTY BARS, peanut butter and bagels, puppy chow, peanut brittle, and a lot more! It was great and at the end of the shift most everyone indicated that they wanted to have some sort of update so here it is people...2 weeks out.

Technical Stuff
1) jobless
2) homeless (effective 5/31)
3) I have a very strategic plan in regards to spacing out the remaining nutty bars that I received at my "leaving" party at work...the plan is they will last at least until 5/1 because my grocery budget for april is expired.

Less Technical Stuff
1) I sleep 9+ hours a night now!
2) I eat three, somewhat balanced, meals at the appropriate time of day and feel amazing!
3) I have ridden over 120 miles on my bike
4) Visited the Amana Colonies! This has been on my "to do" list since December and it was great.
5) Went to Bandanas, a bar-b-que joint, with my parents and was able to enjoy lunch pricing on a SATURDAY (A big deal because I used to only work weekends)
6) Bought a pogo stick and make it a point to get in 50 continuous jumps everyday.
7) Went golfing...kind of.
8) Harassed my dad for some clubs and bought an old big bertha Callaway driver at an auction....380CC....if that means anything to anyone...460CC is the max. allowed legally.
9)Went to Jordan Creek mall for the first time since Christmas...nothing to miss there besides the apparent birth control problem in WDM...geeze, there were a lot of babies and toddlers in that place.
10) Deep cleaned my apartment..I mean deep cleaned. Washed the walls, floors, dusted, moved all the furniture to sweep underneath it, ect. This initiated the next big step I took....bought light bulbs and hangers for the first time. My apartment now has light, but I still utilize my headlamp whenever possible.

Well thats an AK update...
Future plans/travels
