August Left

I got the truck back today. They did a good job. It looks exactly like it did before and I didn’t have to pay a dime. I met the woman that hit my truck in the parking garage today, she was nice and really apologetic.

I took a little bit of a drive after I picked it up. I didn’t stop anywhere for lunch, but managed to drive out towards the mountains a little bit and enjoyed the sunshine. It’s supposed to be another really nice day tomorrow so I’ll make sure I take advantage of that.

I’m starting to feel like I got my diet dialed in. I am seeing really good results in terms of my physical fitness. It’s going to be really nice when it starts to get consistently warm out and I can start going on my big walks around my block like I did last summer. It was an easy way for me to get good exercise and a tan.

I was supposed to have another therapy appointment tomorrow but there was a billing issue and it got cancelled by the app. I really fumbled at the end of February with my budget as my pay check landed closer to the middle of the month and I didn’t account for the timing. I overpaid my credit card and the funds have been held forever, and I didn’t leave enough cash reserve. That was my fault and I am dealing with the consequences of some things not being paid on time.

That’s the one thing really holding a lot back right now. It is getting better but the financial stuff is just looming over me. I have it in the back of my head when my ex told me she thinks I’m financially irresponsible. Looking back at everything it was all just bad circumstances. Like her moving out and me having to take care of the apartment early termination fees, my maxed out credit card from moving my stuff to Canada and then back again when we decided I should come back to try again, my medical bills when I wasn’t covered for my injections.

But slowly progress is being made. That’s why I’m glad I didn’t have to pay anything for the truck. I keep telling myself, one day at a time. Everyday gets a little easier.

Thanks for reading.
