I sat for hours that night trying to work out what to do. I have come up with a plan but it will cost. I think I will wait till next pay day to buy some of it. all of it! or perhaps by then I will have a different plan.
thanks, I appreciate to some it is silly but I was so upset. He was buried under a blue berry bush.
I am glad it is the 1st of May today. April was awful truly awful... did a short zoom meeting this morning and am feeling quite positive. Although I did eat bacon this morning, haven't eaten it in over a year cos it triggers migraines but Mum missed bacon and wanted to see if I could try it again. A mistake as I feel crappy now. Hey ho.
Plan today is to clean out the animals, work the dogs, nap and do some school work.
The savings have gone through ok but I don't have a lot of money to play with this month........hmmm.

I honestly think deciding pretty much that I wasn't doing to enjoy it, I didn't have to do anything and I had to just through the days it made it somehow easier to think about things. There isn't going to be some perfect moment when I am ok with this, I miss my friends, I miss eating out, the pub, the excitement of a date, I really miss my job and my classes. So yeah once I admitted I wasn't going to wake up ok with it all I started to think about what I could do - especially re pets cos I still harbour the hope of buying a house next year.........and I do like a new month.juliejim said:You're sounding more upbeat today Buffy - hope you continue to feel better.
