All fixed!

Well my car is officially fixed, took the guy all of ten minutes and only cost me $150 (instead of $250 like some of the other quotes) so it could've been a lot worse. Of course when I parked after getting home I parked too close to the left again, so I inched out like a snail and inched back in like a geriatric snail, and still nearly suffocated from holding my breath. If only the parking spaces were three inches wider!! But I parked okay.

I'm thinking about installing strips of foam going out sideways so I can tell where my mirror is when I'm parking. If I touch the edge of the strips, I'm not going to touch the pole...right??

So today is Wednesday. I want a doughnut. But I ate 2,230 calories yesterday, so I really shouldn't. I'm supposed to eat 1,800. I wish the CSULB gym was open but it won't be for awhile yet. I did go tan by the pool yesterday, which was nice, only one side of my face was red for the rest of the day, even though it looks normal this morning.

There are doughnut stores EVERYWHERE here in California. I asked my neighbor about it (because everyone in California is supposed to be super-skinny) and he said they never stir from their darkened bedrooms except to get fast food (in their cars), and apparently they have 24-hour DRIVE THROUGH WINDOWS for their local doughnut stores! I'm appalled.

I'm also desperately resisting the urge to buy junk food. They have Arby's here and I haven't had Arby's since high school...and Carl's Jr was so yummy...and they have In-N-Out Burger and Jack In The Box here, when they didn't in Florida. Jack In the Box has a $4 combo that has a drink, curly fries, and a chicken burger with TWO chicken patties! I was dying for one last night but heroically resisted...heroic til I ate a pound and a half of carrots trying to not go out and buy it and then eating two candy bars...sigh!

Why is food so fantastically yummy?
