Close Encounters

Made it a week without a soda. Broke down and had a Mountain Dew at work yesterday afternoon. One a week won't be so bad, given the amount of water and tea I'm drinking instead.

Had another talk with Dad this morning about finances and whatnot. It's going to take a lot of willpower on my part, but I'm going to straighten things out. Already cut one unnecessary expense (Gamefly membership). Lots of necessary ones loom, though.
