Coffee is good

Today I am enjoying a rare treat; a latte at my favorite coffee shop.  I have spent the better part of the past three weekends reviewing and categorizing my financial transactions from last year as I prepare to file my taxes.  I was not shocked at the amount of money and time I have spent at coffee shops and other restaurants but I was disturbed enough to start acting in a more fiscally responsible manner.  I also went to visit another college with B and he has decided that he wants to attend that rather expensive liberal arts college.  He has already been accepted and now all I have to do is find the money to pay for it.  Yeah...

Therapy is going fairly well.  I have had two sessions and I am comfortable with the therapist. However, I am still feel lethargic with little energy or enthusiasm.  B's ankle is feeling better and this morning he and I walked A for the first time in three weeks.  Hopefully these walks will help me to get back onto my schedule.

It's hard to give up little things like going to coffee shops and eating out at restaurants. Sometimes it feels like there are so few things that give us simple joy - so why give it up if it makes us happy? Scaling back a bit from spending at coffee shops or restaurants, but not giving it up totally, may be a happy medium.

Congratulations to B for getting accepted to college. Fortunately, there are so many financial aid programs out there these days, more so than during my time.

I'm glad to hear that your sessions with your therapist is going well. Don't worry about the feeling lethargic part. A lot of it could be the weather, as lame as an excuse as it may sound. But it's true. I have no doubt that when the weather warms up, so will your spirits.

Yeah.. February sucks. I bought a little lamp with a full spectrum light bulb to help chase the winter blues away. I'm also taking B12 shots once a week.

I find I am not nearly as crabby as I usually am this time of year.

Good luck with the therapist. Sometimes they can help you find things you never thought you lost.
