Getting over it all
I spent the better part of the last two weeks feeling so stressed I almost didn’t care about anything at all. There was just too much going on to even wrap my head completely around it. So, I bit the bullet and wrapped my head around it. I spent an entire day going through my…

So Much Stress
I never got out of pajamas today. I have been under so much stress lately that I finally hit the wall and was so exhausted that I couldn’t even put myself together. In the last two weeks I have looked at over 25 apartments, as I have less than two weeks to find a place…

Recognizing My Triggers

I made it through the Holidays!
It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. The holiday times are a busy time! And I’m sure I’m not alone in that feeling… I think I’ve managed to do ok over the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year holidays. As I mentioned in an earlier post, my goal was to maintain my losses. I certainly didn’t expect to…
