Money money money

I just put my first item up for sale on eBay.

See, I misplaced the software for my transcription module and I needed it ASAP. The company wouldn't just send me the CD so I had to buy a whole other transcription set. That was pricey. So I used the CD and put the whole thing away again.

This morning I found the CD from the old kit.

So I put the new kit up for sale. I hope it sells. I need the money, and I don't need a second transcription kit.

If it doesn't, I'll post on my departmental listserv and hopefully someone will take it off my hands.

I've also decided that I need to be done spending money on myself, preparing for what might be in September. I've dropped a sizeable chunk and I need to start saving again, especially if I plan to actually be able to move out and buy a car, which is what I'm buying for. Those vicious cycles again . . .

I've also come up with a new resolution. Starting today, I am cutting some junk out of my eating habits. I will no longer consume chocolate (unless it's in a cake or cookie, because I only eat those rarely), and I will no longer drink pop (although club soda is okay).

Once that gets easier to handle, I'll cut something else out, like candy and chips (because I don't eat those very often, either).

I won't make any resolutions about exercising or working out, because it's one thing at a time - plus, it's easier to make yourself healthier by just not doing something than by actually doing something. If that makes sense.
