Cold out...

Today's cold weather (30's) caused me to partake of my morning coffee indoors. However, I drove the jeep this morning even though I have not yet installed the hardtop. It was a "brisk" ride and my ears were quite cold. When I walked into the coffee shop this morning, the barista surprised me by asking "triple venti no whipped mocha?" Quite a memory on that young woman.

I continue to enjoy relief from my depression. I have to wonder how much this newfound normalcy is due to the sense that I am making headway in my financial woes or the meds. Probably it is a little of each. I have a long way to go in reaching a manageable financial situation but through dedicated effort the money has been rolling in steadily.

Tomorrow I have a tough choice to make. B has a X-country race and the cadet group has two events scheduled. However, as I sit here, I realize the decision is easy, though not so pleasant. I always say "family first" so I will go to B's race. My staff will be a little annoyed at my absence but I must stay true to my values.
