I have a wad of cash still sitting on the desk "leftover" from last weekend when I didn't spend as much as I expected at an event. I have been slowly spending it on necessities. Better than credit, but sad to see the cash pile dwindle....tomorrow I need $60 for medications....half the pile will be gone....

....and I am hoping that I will still have cash left in my checking account.....

The bills are rolling in, and I feel like my paycheck 10 days from now is already spent.

I keep worrying about the energy bills this coming winter. They were saying on TV this morning that a lot of stores are decorating for the holidays already to get our holiday dollars NOW before all the money is spent on winter energy bills. Makes sense, but how sad.

I think I am ready for winter in several ways, but the energy dollars to be spent are a mystery. I am conserving right now already, trying to minimize energy use as much as I can to get in that mindset. I have a houseful of things to keep me busy which is good. I won't be bored while I'm snowed in, if that happens. Free activities are always good for me.....

My job is trying to kill me. I got fed up today and called a headhunter.

I haven't gotten very far with debt reduction lately, but I haven't created new debt which is good. I am trying to work one baby step at time. I have no giant steps right now. I am avoiding shopping successfully right now. I am trying to think things over twice, remind myself how much things cost..... I am trying to appreciate what I have. I am enjoying the bounty of the library. I enjoy conversation and the outdoors.
I am trying to be better about going to the gym. I write in my journal.

Looking forward to a weekend......I need some ME time!
