Walking Around

Tonight I'll be going out to dinner. Another "for your birthday" dinner. It's cool. And I appreciate it. Escpecially since things are as they are right now. I'm going to take the speedline into the city and then walk from there. Being poor stinks but it does have it's bonuses. I get to exercise because I can't afford a cab and I can't afford to pay for parking. Though I doubt I'd take a cab anyway. Even if I could. I don't actually mind walking provided I have on comfortable shoes. So, my trip into Philly should only cost me about $5. Which isn't bad for a night out.

I am not enjoying feeling poor but eventually it will be worth it. That's all I have to keep telling myself. It will be worth it.

I was able to get myself a few new pieces of clothing last night. A pair of jeans, a pair of cropped pants, and a new pair of Bermuda shorts. Also, two pairs of earrings. My parents had given me some cash to buy clothes with for my birthday. I feel good about the items I got but I will tell you one thing - time for me to lose some weight! Whew! I have lost a little since I stopped drinking but it's time for me to lose even more. Ten or fifteen pounds should do it. I'm not so concerned with what the scale says as the way my clothes look and fit. And the way the jeans I tried on last night looked, I'd be better off just working out and getting myself into a toned position again.

I guess all the walking I'm going to be doing is necessary after all.
