Hello! I had a reasonable day at work, less stress. I decided to go out at lunch to escape my cubicle, and I went wandering about, but mind you, there isn't much to see/eat/shop where I work, so a spending urge cannot be satisfied, so I think of other things to do....but I recently found out there is a nearby library that was hiding that I can visit, so I am quite happy!

I wandered into an antique shop which was jam-packed with knicknacks and jewelry. I enjoyed just looking. I am not a big jewelry or knicknack spender, but it was fun to just look, enjoy the sparkle. There was so much to see that I could look everyday in there and not see everything, but I got that feeling when I was in there that the owner was wanting paying customers....and I ain't paying! Well, I'll visit next week maybe get an idea for craft projects, colors, a drawing.....good enough. There is a vintage clothing shop I may visit that I just found, but again, I don't really like vintage clothes, but you never know......but I am not thinking of spending as I wander around, get exercise....see people....

While I am waiting to go to exercise class tonight, I have a half hour I'll use to try to organize the bathroom...I have tons of stuff under the sink. I am avoiding buying toiletries....seems I have TONS inthe house already....going to use up what I have.

I'm just not interested in spending. This is a good thing. I just want to pay down my existing balances.....I have a long, long way to go, but I think I am now more on board with this than ever before. Seriously. I'm really happy about it.
