so, living by myself in this town really sucks. the cost of living here is pretty damn high. and unexpected expenses really suck. especially when you savings was already wiped out by a different round of unexpected expenses, and you haven't had a chance to rebuild it. and when all of your paycheck goes to rent and bills, things can get a little weird. like right now. i don't get paid for another 12 days. i have no money to buy more groceries or get gas for my car. i'm having to come up with creative solutions to things. pretty much, i have a bag of rice, some noodles, a few jars of peanut butter, even fewer slices of bread, 4 tortillas, and 3 cans of soup. this has to last me until i get paid again. this is going to get very old, very quickly. it's also making me only eat twice a day, and not very big meals. since i don't have money to fill up my gas tank, i have to walk every where. i'm walking at least 4 miles a day going back and forth from work, more if i need to go somewhere else. so i'm now burning off all the calories that i'm not taking in. i'm kind of expecting this to end a little poorly. i'm a little concerned about rapid weight loss and/or passing out. also, while i can walk on my ankle now, i still don't have a normal range of motion with it and it's still sore to touch. i'm pretty sure walking 4 miles a day is not going to help that. so if i can make it out alive at the end of these 12 days, i'm going to buy myself the best burrito that i've had in a long time, and save at least half my paycheck for next month so this doesn't happen again. in the meantime, anyone want to buy me dinner? or want a roommate who comes with pets?
