Perry's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice Cream. I am getting ready to dig in right this minute. My day was ok but my daughters car repair bill came up to 781 dollars. 381 dollars more than she was quoted. The work was needed so nothing can be done. Her dad is going to have to drive down tomorrow with the extra money. I guess I should be thankful that he bought her the car but as usual he bought one from the side of the road for 1800 dollars and so far 1400 has had to be put into it. He worked for the state for years. Has a good retirement but has always been bad with money. He didn't have a checking account until 10 years ago. He is a gambler which doesn't help. I worked for the state too when we met. He was physically abusive so I let him intimidate me into taking a huge loan out of my retirement. I will just have to keep working til I drop I guess.
He wouldn't wire the car repair money down, he doesn't have a credit card, The fool drove without a license for years and wouldn't register a car in his own name because he didn't want to pay insurance. He bullied his aging mom or me into doing it. So glad I left him but he is still a pain in the a$$..

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
So I will share some of it and a bite of Perry's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup ice Cream.

I tried to control myself. I used a small dessert bowl instead of a cereal bowl and though it isn't the best way to deal with stress I am not beating myself up over it. I have been having epiphanies right and left lately. i finally figured out that berating myself day in and out has not made me healthier, thinner or happier. Maybe I will try a little kindness tonight.
I am on pain control, right now...no extra anxiety, the 18 month is a enough.
But tomorrow, on the 23rd, is my first "holistic health class" Yikes! I didn't plan that too well.
I tried to imagine on what planet such choices would be considered adult.
On behalf of all guys everywhere, I apologize for such behavior from a member of my gender.
The loan against your pension fund hurt to hear. Having to work until you drop, as you put it, is a steep price to pay. I'm really sorry about that one.
Glad you're away from him. After I got divorced many years ago, I wasn't very experienced with dating again and I got myself involved with someone who was rather looney myself. She got angry with the neighbors one morning so she went out with a pistol she had and shot 7 bullet holes into the side of their house.
Needless to say, I am not with her any more, just like you are better off not being with this fellow. Live and learn.
In the end, let's just hope your daughter's car's repairs hold up now.
