Unemployment – Day One

Have watched 4 episodes of “Charmed” today alone – can only imagine what’s next in store for the Charmed Ones.

Have also become obsessed with The Learning Channel. The episode about “The Shrinking Woman” is fascinating and grotesque all at the same time. She lost over 400 pounds and then had the final 40 pounds of “extra” skin removed surgically. It’s insane. Between TLC and the commercials for Relacore, Nutri-system and something called “Hoodia” – must make note to self: Join Y when I arrive in Maryland, maybe start running again, at the very least forego the late-night ice cream runs.

Have begun detailing the bathroom and kitchen. When I am done with them they will be shockingly clean. Question: Why do I have so many cans of evaporated milk and split-pea soup? And why do I have so many bars of soap? I never use bar soap and don’t recall ever buying any.

Still ignoring “land of the misfit toys” by the front door. It has become a landing area for any and all dirty laundry. Have resorted to wearing boxers under my skirt since I haven’t had a clean pair of undies since last Thursday. It’s just too damn hot to even think about doing my laundry.

Electric bill arrived today. $150 for June – only $15 of it was for the gas stove. Hmmmm….can only imagine what July will be like with A/C running 24/7.

Scrounged up every single coin and bit of foreign currency laying about the apartment and cashed them in at the bank. Made $60. Good times.
