I'm just going nuts for a lot of reasons. Things here are just suddenly going very badly...Things are taking a nosedive, and I have no control......I'm just really depressed.
I got bad family news at the beginning of the week, and I just haven't had time to deal with it. Then I have had 2 major car repairs this month, so I have added $1600 to my debt heap....I am so upset!!!!!!!!!!! I have no idea how I am going to pay this off. My job hunt is not going well...It is stalled. 2 companies want me but suddenly they have no information for me about the positions. I have a million things to do and no time to do them. I AM JUST GOING TO HAVE TO HANG IN THERE, i KNOW, BUT i FEEL REALLY OVERWHELMED.....................
ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I am currently writing on my lists to not spend, not spend"
Wow, and here I thought I was the only one who did this! LOL! :-D I do this also. If money is tight, I write "No $" on that day's list, or if I "do" have to spend on something, I write at the top of the list "spend no more than the $15 for perscription refill" or something like that.

Dear Heather,
I do need to remember to breathe.....and I'll write that on my to do list.....
I had been skipping yoga classes because of the weather, but this IS when I need them most. I did find myself in tree position this morning...I was just standing there looking out the window, and I just did it, and I felt good. I think I'll do a little home yoga this morning AND BREATHE........
I have to admit I have been going non-stop since last weekend doing everything and run-run-running all over the place because I had to just to keep up, and I had a job interview to prepare for, and I felt like I was barely ready when I got there (but aced it, so hopefully will be presented with options this week.)......................and there has been no time to deal with all the recent negativity....................I'll take care of myself now............................
In, out........

Thanks, Becky! I'm going to hang in there. I am trying to come up with a plan to help me cope, esp. financially. I know I have plenty of activities to keep me going and things to look forward to in the near future. I also know my limitations with certain situations, so I am using everything to just "keep swimming!"

Dear Lilasu,
THANK YOU for your thoughts, encouragement, and compliments! You have given me some food for thought which I appreciate!
I was looking around my messy livingroom just now which is full of papers and books and magazines and craft projects and clothes and and and.....boy, do I have stuff!!! It is like I AM rich in material things really, and I am rich in intangible ways as well. I should never forget this.
I also hate to say this, but it IS true as well that those bills I have to pay for the car are a reflection that I am fortunate: to be able to charge them so that it could be done....Had I no means to pay for the repairs in any way, I would be very, very stuck. I would be unable to go to work or even get to the grocery store easily, and that would have cost me even more. (You may say Pollyanna, too...I try to find the rainbows in the gray clouds, and sometimes I REEEAAAALLLLY have to reach for them, but........I try to find them.)
Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Littlesbigs
Dear Mattsgirl,
Thank you! I am hoping my lucky break will come this week with job offers. That would definitely make me feel like I am more stable ground. I'm going to just keep my head up and keep trying to walk forward.

Hi, Pat! Yes, and that helps me, too, when I am accounting at the end of my day for how much money I spent when I am tracking my expenses. The next several months will be tight, and I know I am going to have to know much I can spend that day. The daily budget will be part of my to-do lists....if I write down I can only spend $5 for lunch and sundries, then that will have to be the limit. I need to see it, to write it down.
