Shall I Begin.... Walking?

I've been thinking as of late that it might be a good idea to walk to work.  I've been looking at the weather as of late, and figured that it might be consistent enough for me to be able to walk to work without dying.

Saving on gas would be an added bonus, thus allowing extra money to be diverted towards other things.

I made sure some bills were taken care of today and even paid extra on one of my credit accounts.  The goal is to have three of them taken care of this year.  I've got two more to go as I've already paid off one of them.

I also downloaded Steam for Linux.  I had to enable pre-release updates in Ubuntu 12.04 so I could get newer graphics drivers (AMD Catalyst).  The only game available without cost was Team Fortress 2.  It takes a bit to load, but once it's done, it runs well.

Hopefully more free to play games come out for it.

I also invested in some more broccoli florets as well as some asparagus.  I even splurged a little on some frozen fish that has zero carbs in it.  I might save those for Monday.

Tonight begins a three day work week for me, which is pretty exciting.  The mini vacation I took gave me a chance to recharge my batteries a little bit.  The cool thing is that I'll be having some more time off in March in order to celebrate my birthday.  I'm really excited.

I think my friend Bruce from campus was right.  When you turn 30, things really do start falling into place.  I haven't gotten to that age just yet, but things seem to be going smoothly as of late.
