Starting the new job

I'm feeling a bit anxious about starting the new job tomorrow. Surprisingly, I'm not really nervous, I'm more just ready to get the ball rolling here. It will be so great to have a reason to get up and do something every day, plus, it will keep me from spending as I'm often tempted to do. I come from a past that includes a big shopping problem as well as a problem with the management of money. I got the help I needed and can now keep from overdoing it, but boy oh boy it's tempting to stop in places and peruse. I won't even allow myself to window shop for fear that it will lead to uncontrolled spending, sad eh?

I'm also anxious to get into a place and start cooking again. It's been great eating out here or there but even that I've cut out in the last few days. I allow myself a latte or two throughout the day, and a cheap sandwich from the local mart, aside from that, I'm trying to avoid overspending on food. I've noticed a few extra pounds hanging out around my midsection so it's probably for the best that I scale back on the eating out. 

I started responding to places today. I tell yah, it's fairly nerve wracking trying to find the right place for the right price. Ideally, I'd like to spend less than 600 euros each month which is totally achievable, it's just the location that has me a bit fried. I really want to live within walking distance OR short bus ride but some of the places that fall within my price range are in completely different parts of Dublin altogether. I expect to be living with 3 or 4 people as that's what the people do here because of sky high rental costs which is fine, more people to eat my food and give me opinions and feedback :) I found a few that are close to where I'd like to be so here's to hoping I hear from one of them in the next few days.

It's all a waiting game now y'all. 

HAPPY VEG
