Weird Mood & Progress
I've been in therapy for over a year now. I'm amazed how much it has helped. I'm less likely to get derailed when bad things happen.
This is especially relevant right now. Our minivan through a rod through the engine block and it's going to cost about $7500.00 to fix. That is going to mean borrowing against my retirement funds at work. I just turned 50 and I'm really settling into the reality that I'm never retiring and I'm going to work until I die because I live in a capitalist hellscape where people like me and their lives are worth exactly as much as the work value we create.
Despite this, I'm not bent out of shape. I just accepted it. All of it. I'm not freaking out, I'm just in problem-solving mode, and I think it's progress.
