Oh gosh -
TG and I and approaching crunch time to get the condo ready for some serious floor ripping and laying in the next couple of weeks. In the process we've been organizing, throwing out and cleaning - it's really starting to come together and feel good. It may not seem like a big deal to some but to me THIS IS HUGE (for many, many reasons).
I back on track with WW - trying to get healthier for the upcoming summer season (and the weddings that will accompany)! It's a good time to start thinking about this stuff in my opinion and I
swear I am going to start going to workout again - little by little. The nice weather is motivating so getting outside and walking is going to improve everything - I have a couple walk dates lined already :)
WTF is up with Tim Horton's raising their prices by like 6% overnight? It's bullshit in my opinion.
Other bullshit things at Tim
Hortons include: the bigger (more expensive) cookies - they not only cost more money but way more points too, so not worth it anymore. Also, the "whole grain/wheat raspberry muffin" - that is FULL OF FAT! You think you're making a good decision and end up wasting nearly half of you daily points...on a frigging' muffin!
I am going to re-start bringing my coffee and having a breakfast ready to take to work - saves time, money and helps me plan my meals which is key for me.
So I saw a girl begging for money at an intersection last week. She wasn't your typical homeless person. She was younger, could have been attractive at one point, and had a sign that read "anything would be appreciated - I'm hungry" (or something like that). It honestly broke my steely heart of sarcasm. It was raining and she was crying on boulevard. Not just teary eyes, but having a full blown sob-fest fit - like she'd been bawling for days. That is what got me. I had nothing to give (no cash, food, winning Tim rim,
nadda...) and I honestly would have at that moment at that red light - then the light (thankfully) turned green.
She made me uncomfortable and yet thankful for everything that I have. The simplicity of being able to plan a meal rather the hope for one - I am beyond grateful and lucky, new floors or not, I am happy.
Out of sight, out of mind, I got thinking - SHE is the advertisement for all those colleges like
CDI, Everest etc. not the brown guy with the ball cap that says, "Get off your butt, make some money, money wasn't
tight but it wasn't
right" and "CALL RIGHT NOW!", but rather her in all her homeless-ness. It would give her a job and probably increase enrollment (win-win people)!
Seriously that could happen if you don't train to become a "medical professional" or "your own boss"...
(
Ahhhh - it feels good to be sarcastic again - kidding aside, I am a good person)
