On Thursday I got my Class B Commercial Driver's License. So I'm officially a SLO RTA "coach operator" (That's fancy for bus driver). I'm proud of myself. Is it my dream job? Far from. But is it a solid job I can feel good about? Definitely. In a few months hopefully I'll have benefits like paid time off, paid holidays and health insurance. The pay isn't the greatest but considering I was looking at jobs paying as low as $10/hr this ain't bad. And from what I've heard there is a lot of opportunity for extra hours and overtime. I'm not going to be rich by any stretch but hopefully I can start paying down some of my debt obligations and live a little more "comfortably". Oh, and get my car fixed, and save to move, and pay my car insurance. Etc, etc etc.
Now is the time I really need to start focusing on my health. No more excuses. After I each sushi with Sean and Krystal of course.

Gay Marriage
I cried today.
I cried today because gay men and women in my HOME STATE of CALIFORNIA will soon have the right to marry.
I cried today because the Federal Government of My Country will now recognize legally married gay citizens.
I cried today because The United States of America became A More Perfect Union.
We have a long way to go in the fight for equal rights for gays in the country, but there is no doubt that today was a GOOD DAY.

Power Outage
Right now the power is out in AG. Its kind of eerie. Strange how quiet it is. I guess this is how it was everywhere not too long ago. Amazing how much we rely on electricity. I did find a few candles in the house. And I have my flashlight I just bought. So I guess things aren't too bad. Its a Sunday night and I should be heading to bed anyway.
Oh wait, my cpap needs power. Looks like if I do get some sleep I will be restless.

Full Moon
I miss Alta. There I said it. I know I'm not supposed to think it much less say it but it's true. No, I don't think we should be together. And no, I don't have realistic hopes that we will be. But I do miss many aspects of her. When I see a full moon like tonight it makes me think of her. She was a wonderful, beautiful woman and I'm grateful for the fun times we had together. She saved my life in a lot of ways.
Anyway... back to the present. There is a full moon tonight and it's GORGEOUS. It's a "Super Moon". Basically the biggest one of the year. I wish I had a companion to share it with. I got Chino at least right?
As for the eating better initiative I have to be honest and admit it ain't going so well. Now, it's not as bad as it was a few months ago where I was almost punishing myself by eating as much as possible. I have shown restraint at certain times recently. Just tonight I was going to hit 7-Eleven and get some candy and I didn't. I have some cake here at the house I could still eat but I knew if I got candy at 7-Eleven I would feel compelled to eat it all. And there have been other times where I took the less calorie route. Trying to abstain from sugar has definitely been a challenge. Once I get those cravings it's like I have to fulfill it or else it will just simmer in my head all day/night. I need a Higher Power.

Work, Work and more Work
Just noticed I haven't posted in a while. I've been working like crazy. I definitely need to adjust my Domino's hours or I'm going to burn out. It is nice to know that I'll have a little money this month though.
So with all the work I've slacked off on the healthy eating and exercise. I know... no excuses. The trainer at RTA puts out candy on the table everyday. I try not to eat too many but a few always make their way into my mouth. One thing good I've done while there is I always take the stairs. Getting in shape would really help with my job too. Things like the pre-trip and strapping in wheelchair people will be SO much easier if I didn't have as big a gut. I just have to keep chugging along and try to improve.

SLO RTA
Today was my first day at my new job. SLO RTA is where you can find info about it. For a first day, everything went pretty darn well. Everyone seems really cool and they seem pretty genuine. It's like everyone likes there job. I know once I start really "working" there I'll see a few jaded folks but for now I couldn't ask for anything better.
I think this new job could positively or negatively effect my health. Obviously I'll be sitting most of the time. But I'll have more structure to my days too. These next few weeks could be a great opportunity to eat modestly so I don't have to use the restroom too much. It will be interesting how things go once I start the driving full time.

Sugar
Today I "treated" myself to some sugar. I know I shouldn't. There's really no reason to do it. Other than I'm kinda lonely and I'm anxious about my new job and new schedule that will happen soon.
