Yes I said it, the "B" word! BUDGET!!!!! O_O So I read a few more chapters in Finacial Peace Revisited and worked on a budget. I will get my emergency fund (or as I prefer to call it my shit hits the fan fund, shit fund for short) fully funded by this next paycheck. Then I'm on to save for my 3-6 months worth of expenses. When I'm done, not much of anything money related will scare me (knock on wood for good measure).
As for the earlier part of my day I've spent it playing Dragon Age and running around on Youtube. Really kind of spent my whole last month supremely bored. My counselor said for me to do something small for myself everyday... not much appeals to me lately. I did have some raspberry sorbet earlier though. I bought myself a pint of it last week, promptly forgot about it, then realized I had it this evening. I suppose that was my small thing for the day.
I need to figure out what I am getting up for everyday. The only thing I can think of that I wake up for now is hope and an utterly stubborn sense of self preservation. This is not to make any less of the wonderful friends I have, because you are all awesome.
I need to look at myself learn what it is that I dislike and work on changing it again. I want to be able to enjoy my own company again.
Wow, you're really making progress! I'm so proud, and can't wait to do that class myself. I'm sorry you're struggling, hun, and glad that you have a good counselor and that she's helping you, at least with suggestions. I am still looking for one, myself.
