February check in

Life is getting better!  Just managed to get through changing cars - previous was lease which ran out.  Had a relative making the payments for me, but he quit.  Now I have an older car, but it is totally mine, with no payments required.  
Also had to replace my fridge.  But managed to scrape up enough for that.
AND - for the past 7 days the pain of my torn ankle tendon has receded!!!  After two years of constant, nearly unbearable pain that is like a miracle!  I got to get fitted for a different kind of brace today.  Will go ahead and keep the appointment.  Previously each time it seemed better, I would stress it in some way and make it worse.  Just going to cover all my bases now.
Still have a lot of clutter.  But if I can now walk I should be able to chip away at that.
So - things are looking up finally!
