Mississippi
I made it to Mississippi last night at about 6. I was supposed to have left on Wednesday but my car battery died, thankfully before I had left. Ironically enough, at a oil change place in Loganville. Also ironically, they didn't have the type of car battery I needed. I had to spend thursday morning at pep boys getting my battery replaced, and then I replaced the fuse for my radio because it wasn't working.
Only been in Ocean Springs since 6 pm yesterday and already saw Brandy, Justin R., Justin P., Aaron F., Nathan & Jen F., My sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and both of my grandparents. Quite a few people so far. I hadn't been here in 7 months, I had forgotten how much OS still feels like home.
I am staying at my grandma's tonight, and tommorrow at my sister's housesitting while she is on vacation.
I weighed myself on my grandma's scale, and according to it I've gained 1.5 lbs. In order for me to lose 54 lbs by May I have to lose 1.5 lbs per week instead of gaining. Alwaystommorrow today to keep/start losing. I'm gonna weigh myself when I get back to my parents house again, just to make sure that it's not my grandma's scale that's off.
