Day 24: Sweet Sweet Information

My gambit to contact SCIS paid off yesterday. I made myself very apologetic and respectfully requested any kind of update. As I figured, it is a problem of knowing when the next training session is. It could start on July 10th (please, Jesus) or July 31st (I mean, I'll take it but...). So now I have definite dates to work with. And that is making a huge difference. I figured out that the latest I could be getting a new paycheck is August 25th (that's if training starts on the 31st and I am off cycle on paychecks and there is a one paycheck lag time). I was able to work out a budget for the summer to make sure all my bills get paid and I maybe even get to have some fun. But not too much.

Having an actual start date (kind of) is a weird feeling. The first possible one is almost a month away. I am trying to figure out if I can game the unemployment system to get some scratch in the meantime. Otherwise, this is going to be a long summer. I need to get a routine going. Maybe I can start that swimming that I want to do. I need some kind of structure to get me through this summer. Oh, today is the day I am supposed to win a million dollars. THat will certainly take some of the pressure off this summer. Wonder when I can find out about that? Sometime today is all I know. Oh well.

Food since last time: Yesterday for lunch I had some angus steakburger hotpocket things with chips and a DP. For dinner I had sausages chopped up in mac n cheese with some DP. For dessert I had cookies and creme oreos. This morning I had my usual 3 mini-crullers and SEC muffin.

Pop Culture: I read a lot more comics (Original Sin, What If and Spider-Man) and watched some more Documentary Now. I also watched a movie called Sun Choke.
