I am trying hard not to let shopping turn into the way I distract myself from how I am feeling about life right now...I have done that kind of sabotage before. I am cooking. I am renting movies. I can't read because I cannot concentrate. I am trying to catch up on the laundry : ). I am going back to work tomorrow, at least temporarily.
i have not checked officially, but i believe the total of my debts, counting everything except my father's funeral expenses, has finally fallen below 50K. I am pleased with this. Everytime I pay dh's student loan, and see the balance below 15K I do a little happy dance. We might just do ok afterall, someday.
The reality is that we will likely have to move again sometime this summer :( I will try to rebuild my savings in the meantime. I have just about nothing right now. But I am diverting $700 from my general account to get things started again. Will it end up being used for moving expenses? Well, maybe, but i don't know yet. I am taking it one day at a time. Sometimes in life things happen where you make a plan and try to implement it, and only wind up with more questions than before you started. This is one of those times.
