I'm having a really hard time finding anything positive about myself or my life lately. Can't stand my new boss and I feel left out when it comes to my co-workers even though, in the past, I was tight with them. Stressed out as a single mom. Struggling financially. Haven't had a social life for about 20 years now. Lonely. Realizing that I'm never going to be able to be more than I am right now. Will never be able to earn a liveable wage without a college degree. It's too late in the game for that now. Plus, I'm too stupid for it. No, I'm not just being negative when I say that. I'm being realistic. Couldn't afford to take on any more debt anyway even if I would be smart enough. Finding myself fuming inside about people all the time now. Especially my boss (she's an incompetent ass who is letting her new promotion go to her head), coworkers and the injustice of the pay scale where I work. Tired of busting my ass and getting shit in return. Tired of always putting on the happy face for my job. Sick of living where I do but can't financially can't afford to pick up and move. Don't want to uproot the kids anyway. I'm a failure. I'm getting closer to retirement age. I'll be there before I know it, still poor, still hating myself, never having amounted to anything.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Secondly, you are never too old to get your degree. My mom got hers when she was in her mid-40s. If it takes you 10 years to get a degree, you will be 10 years older. If you do not get your degree, you will still be 10 years older.
