I haven't been seeing as much of me around. . .

The Procrastinator house got a new scale today, and. . . well. . . it seems as though in the past month I've lost at least ten pounds and maybe as much as twenty pounds. I'm not completely sure of what I weighed coming into the month, but I do have a ballpark range of about ten pounds that I'm fairly confident I fell in. So, yeah, I'm back pretty close to my high school weight. I guess the treadmill and yogalates combined with not eating chocolate and fast food have been good for my body. I still have a bit of flab in my gut area, but I'm pleased with the results. My goal in the diet and the exercise had nothing to do with weight loss. I was mostly just interested in them for general health reasons. But it feels good to have some sort of quantifiable proof that I am making progress.

I worked on cover letters today, but I didn't send any out. When I sent out my first cover letter, I was under the misguided impression that the sooner I sent it out, the sooner I would hear back. Now I'm fairly certain that that's not the case. Unfortunately for that first cover letter, it kind of stank. I was in such a rush to get it out there that I didn't take the time to make sure it was good. So now I've implemented a one day waiting period before sending out cover letters. That way I have time to look over and, more importantly, think over what I've written and how it could be better. I know. Maybe I should consider doing something like that with my writing for this blog. Well, if I believed that my blogging would bring in a paycheck if I put more effort into it, I would probably put more effort into it. For now, you're stuck with inconsistent writing and mostly mundane material (how's that for alliteration?).

Weeded out some more crap today. I'm giving serious consideration to selling my bass equipment. I don't use it anymore and could probably live for over a month off of what it's all worth. Even if I did get myself into a mindset where I was looking to play in a group again, I would probably want a simpler setup now anyway. Plus, I still have my guitars which I enjoy playing by myself more than I enjoy playing bass by myself. But bass is definitely more fun as part of a group. . . I don't know yet. It's hard for me to let go.

I'm grateful for careerbuilder.com (20).
