Monday, Monday. First day of being in my new store. This week I train in the store, then next week I train in Cerritos again, and then the following week I'm finally an actual employee. I'm looking forward to it. Finally earning real commissions, yeah!

Tomorrow the train will be running again. Today it screwed me over because I forgot it was a holiday, and when I got to the train station, there was a little sign saying No Metrolink on Memorial Day. I had to run back toward my house to the corner and catch the bus to the red line. Added an extra 45 minutes to my commute; I was on track to be there 30 minutes early, but instead I was 15 late. On my first day in my new store. Lovely.

I didn't pack my lunch, because I did wake up a little late and showering took kind of long. I did take the time to slice up some cucumbers and toast some almonds - I wouldn't be caught dead without something good to snack on, even if I have to buy my lunch. I ended up getting a hamburger at Denny's (without the bun, of course, of course!) with my coworkers. It was really, really good. But that's only an every-so-often thing.

Just 6 more days to go on Phase 1. It's actually getting trickier now; the first week, I didn't really crave anything I wasn't supposed to, and now, for some reason, my mouth is watering every 5 minutes or whenever I catch a glimpse (or a whiff) of anything made of wheat. I'm staying strong, though.

I think I had something else I was supposed to say, but I forgot. Too bad, because I feel like it was clever.
