I have almost the same errands to run as yesterday....got sidetracked....my cousin called asking me to come over and check out her new livingroom furniture, and we ended up having lunch, a snack, and watching her gigantic TV, and it was a lovely afternoon. She's starting her life all over again after diviorce, and I am supportive of her. I'm actually more happy that I saw her than doing the errands, so I'm back at yesterday's square TWO...I did get a few things done before she called so I'm not on square ONE.....I have to do the bill paying and resume rewriting today, and visit the gym...........I'm okay with that. I'm not behind with anything if get caught up today. I guess I have to turn off the cell phone and FOCUS.

I was cash and debit carding myself thru the day yesterday...picking up medications, lunch food, a magazine, a book, dinner out with SO....... the credit card stayed neatly, safely tucked in my purse. I was happy with that.

I am going to also be pulling out the info I need to do my taxes.....

I am just NEVER bored when I am home or taking care of myself. So much to always do....and not always spending-focused.

I am going to look a for a snowflake payment I can make today. I want to take another baby step forward TODAY.

I know I'll be wearing my winter clothes at least another month....I have a lot of ironing and sorting of the clothes pile to do tonight. I am going to start organizing what summer work clothes I have (and I think I have enough to get thru the first several weekes of spring) and put them in the closet where I can see them so I don't start getting the itch to start shopping for new ones NOW. (I am hoping they still fit.....MUST GET TO THE GYM TODAY!)

It's just these little things I do to stay debt reduction-focused.

Focus, focus.......hocus-pocus......debt be gone! Littlesbigs

Whew! I am done with my most difficult errand of the day which was working on the resume, and I had to explain the gaps in my employment during the time I was laid off an having a tough time finding a job. I found that I had some great explanations to offer as I did take classes at the community colleges and was working with the labor board to find a new job......so now I'm not worried about it.

I am anxious to find a new job. Before she went on vacation , I asked my supervisor about OPPORTUNITEIES at our company to advance and grow,and she had NO ANSWER for me......we'll meet again this week, but I realized I am in a DEADEND job. Other types or work around me now are only lateral moves, so......I must look outward.

I want to advance and make more money or at least have more fun, do something I enjoy. I can't take on a second job unless I can make my own hours, but I don't know..........................

Ok, proud of myself.

Onward!
