Calories: 2214

My calories would have been 1799 yesterday (still not great) but when I arrived at BFF's house at 10 pm she had fettucine alfredo prepared for me. I didn't have the heart to say no. And it was good!

I caught the local train at 4:20 and the train to Indiana at 5:45. So I spent a lot of time on the train yesterday. For dinner I ate a cup of peanuts on the train, which also added to my calorie splurge. I was seated right next to the dining car, and I kind of wished I had a real meal, but I was determined not to spend the money.

The train kept losing electrical power (though that didn't affect its movement.) But I couldn't charge my phone, and I was quite worried that it would lose its charge before I got to my final destination. I had promised to text BFF when I was near the station. Instead, I texted her when we were about two hours away, and asked if she would check with Amtrak about the arrival time. It all worked out. She was waiting for me at the station, and I actually had a little bit of juice left on the phone.

I arrived very tired and slept poorly. But BFF drove me to the repair shop in the morning and I got my bill settled and hopped in my car and drove home. $4305. Lots of moola. I charged it to Discover so I won't have to raid my savings till next month.

The car ran great, and I felt glad that I had done it.

After resting up a bit, I'm going to go to the gym, and then stop at the grocery on the way home. And I've got laundry to do, but I think I'll let that wait for another day.

One bit of spending: I bought coffee for $2 on the way home, just needed the boost.

It's good to have wheels again.
