Meeting My New Neighbor

Yesterday, I helped my new neighbor move in. I’m not normally the type of person who pitches in to help people that I don’t know do heavy lifting. However, I was bored so I figured I would give him a hand. It turns out that he is a police officer, I guess it can’t hurt to have a friend on the force. Truthfully I’m glad I helped because he is actually pretty interesting person. I had always been interested in the field of law enforcement so conversation flowed pretty easily. I told him how I was actually pursuing a criminal justice degree when I first entered school but got sidetracked (a couple of times) along the way. He also was quick to point out how it wasn’t too late to change careers if I so desired.

Distracted by thoughts of pursuing my dream I did a lot of searching online today. I ran across a place called Northwestern College. Immediately it caught my eye since it would allow me to get my degree over the internet. Since I obviously would have to keep my “day job” my options in continuing my education are limited, so Northwestern would be perfect.

To Go or Not To Go

Looks like I am off to the store to pick up some supplies. My girlfriend was baby sitting last night and it looks like one of the kids broke a wall sconce. I will probably have to go to the internet to find what I need but I figured I would try a local store first. However, I am prepared for the worst since their selection of fixtures and accessories isn’t the greatest. On second thought maybe I will just save myself a trip.

Losing a Friend

I have a friend that is planning to relocate from here to the midwest. It seems that he got a pretty good job offer in Indianapolis and is really thinking about taking the position. The only holdup is that his wife also needs to find employment. Currently she is doing a Hospitality job search in that area. He has a bit of time before he has to give his decision so hopefully everything turns out well for them.

Cutting Energy Costs

I was just talking to a neighbor about the expense of keeping a home. Being a long time renter I had no idea of all that was involved in owning your own home. He had mentioned how he had a home energy audit a few years ago and it helped him learn ways to power his home more efficiently. In fact, he is actually looking to get his energy auditor certification. The conversation got me thinking that maybe I should have someone come in to advise me on how I can cut costs, especially since this is a very old home.

Adding Balance to My Meals

I’ve noticed that I feel alot better now that I have started taking a multivitamin supplement. Most of the time I try to eat a balanced meal but even then I am not taking in all of the vitamins and nutrients that my body needs. In fact I would be willing to bet that most of us don’t achieve the ideal amount of vitamins without the use of some sort of supplement.
