I take it back.

Jan 12, 2007 16:49

I am obsessing over money. It’s got me grinding my teeth, again. Not as bad as I was when I first went off the Celexa, but it’s bugging me that I’m back to that. And I know the cause. And despite the fact I’ve taken steps to resolve the financial problems, I’m having a hard time reconciling the positive actions with the negative way I feel.

The problem isn’t so much what to do as I’ve already made some changes and have further options. The problem is convincing my lizard brain to calm the fuck down and let things happen as they will. I’ve already addressed my budget shortfall, plus added $130 to the monthly budget, with a guaranteed minimum $80 pay raise in January to boot. Over the course of the next three months until I get my Navy stipend, with what I have in savings, it will be a close call, but it’s doable. Also, between now and March there will be a quarterly bonus and possibly a tax return. There is money there! Still, grind, grind, grind. Why is my brain doing this to me? Anyone know how to do a lizardectomy?

ION, 15 minutes on the treadmill Wednesday and Thursday, 10 minutes pilates today. Potluck yesterday, mmmm, cheesecake.

stress, money, weight
