I made my second meal in my new apartment. I keep wanting to go out and eat because I've been eating out every meal since Friday, but I have so much food that I need to start eating some of it.

My right shoulder still hurts. I think my y has to get used to working at a new desk. I'm still trying to figure out the best place for my keyboard and mouse. The desk I bought has a pull out keyboard and mouse tray, but it's really low. Maybe too low. I could put the keyboard and mouse on the desk, but I hate the thought of not using the keyboard tray. It's there after all.

I haven't worked out since last week. I was going to work out last night, but it felt awful to leave my apartment in such a mess. Putting things away takes time because then you have to figure out where everything is going to go. It's a slow process for me.

My goal is to have everything put away by Saturday. I think I can do it if I just work at every night. I'd like to walk into my new apartment and see it neat for once. There are a couple of boxes full of stuff that I have no idea what to do with. I have to go through the boxes and decide whether to throw the stuff out or not. Two small boxes of stuff isn't that bad though, and I can deal with that. Besides, it will give me a good incentive to work on sorting the stuff in the box if I have to look at it every day.

I spent eight hours on Saturday cleaning my old apartment. I hope I get my cleaning deposit back. The place didn't look too bad after 8 years of occupation.

On Sunday, a friend came over and helped me unpack more and get organized. We hung all my pictures up, so the place looks a little more homey now. I really want a cordless drill. I think they are the best tool.

Lots of work today, and more projects look like they are on their way. I have a feeling I'm going to have go up to my corporate office in Sacramento once a week, because one of the projects is a joint venture between me and the IT group. The project is still in the planning phases, but it will probably be approved soon.

I don't mind going up once a week or even every other week, as long as the company pays my mileage. It will be nice to see people once in awhile.

I am so sick and tired of unpacking. I wish I could wave a magic wand and have everything unpack itself and walk over to their right places, like Mickey Mouse in The Sorcerer's Apprentice.. That would be a dream.

My home computer is up and working. YEAH!!! I don't know why I worry so much. I've moved my computer around and reconnected and disconnected it so many times. I depend so much on it though that I'm always worried it's not going to work.

I'm so tired. The movers brought my stuff this morning, and I've been spending the whole day unpacking. Now I just have to decide where all my furniture goes. I've got boxes everywhere. A friend is supposed to come over on Sunday to help me decide where the furniture should go and help me unpacik, but I can't wait that long. I've already started unpacking everything, and putting the furniture in place.

I've got to go back to my apartment tomorrow to clean it, so I can get my cleaning deposit back. I wonder how long it will take for me to unpack everything. When I come back from a trip, it takes me a month to unpack and put everything away. I just moved after eight years of living in one place. I hope I don't have unpacked boxes lying around in six months.

I think I reinjured my right shoulder again from moving all my boxes. It really, really hurts, especially when I use my mouse. The desk I bought has a tray for your keyboard, but it's too low and it was making my shoulder hurt, so I'm using the desk part for my keyboard and mouse. I'll use the keyboard tray to write.

I didn't even think of the keyboard tray height when I bought the desk. The desk is great, except for that one problem. Honestly, I dont' know if my shoulder hurts because the keyboard tray is too low or if it hurts because I strained it from all the moving. I'll have to experiment I guess in a couple of weeks. It's kind of a pain not to use the keyboard tray, but if I have to use the desk part I will.

The keyboard tray is so low, I end up sitting low and looking up at my computer screen. I don't think ergonomically you're supposed to be doing that. I thought the computer screen was supposed to be at eye level. I'm sure I'll figure it out.

This is the first night I'm not moving and it feels nice, although I wish my things were here. I sent my first fax this morning. The copier/fax machine printer, an HP 6110, my company bought me is a pretty nice machine. I have winfax pro on my home computer, so if I have to fax something I scan it first and then I transmit.

I found the video store today. I was going to freak out if I couldn't find a video store, but there's a Blockbuster within walking distance. I also found a place that sell fresh fish and a kosher meat shop. How cool is that? The hardward store isn't as big as the one in my old neighbourhood, but there are a ton of places to eat and almost as good as NYC pizza place. I didn't see a burrito place, but there is a ton of japanese, vietnamese, thai and chinese food restaurants.

The only junk food eatery is a KFC/Taco Bell, which is where I picked up lunch today. I'm eating horribly and not counting calories, but I'm not gaining weight. All my old junk food habits are in full force, but I'm probably not gaining any weight because of the stress of moving and all the exercise I get from moving boxes up and down stairs.

Next week I've got to start eating better, or I think I will start gaining weight. I must admit though, I just love not caring what I eat and eating any kind of junk food imaginable. It reminds me of being a high school girl, a time when I could eat anything and not gain weight. Those days are definitely long gone.

I've even started eating Brown & Haley almond roca, which I used to eat non stop in my youth. It's such a comfort food, and it brings back such good memories because my mom always kept a can in the house. I'm craving it even now, and I've already eaten two packages of the stuff.

It's scary how I can so easily slip into my junk habit eating ways without a second thought.
