Crazy times

[vaneramos]

Another rough morning. I wanted to play mummy: go back to bed and roll myself in cloth in the eternal silence of my room. Things have been moving forward at an unprecedented rate. It is mostly good. Just now I'm tired and unfocused and wish it could stop, but stopping is not an option. I don't want to go back. I need to remind myself (like another

If I might make three observations that I think complement one another:

First, major changes that can't happen with a snap of the finger need both determination and pacing; we all already know that deciding that something that can't be done in a day or a week can't be done is a convenient lie.

And -- this one is a lesson I'm still getting though my own head -- rest and recuperation aren't things to be done only before and after an extended effort, but at natural times during, too.

The last paragraph, and particularly the last sentence, seem to answer the first paragraph in that regard.

R&R, yes. I managed to slip in some this weekend! That's one of the things I like about this 6 changes method: it encourages pacing. That's part of the reason I defer some things even if I want to do them.

[hesitantly, non-critically, supportively and all that] Is the reduction in your credit limit so you won't be tempted to use it? (I'd like to think I was strong-willed in regards my credit lines, but it's more probably due to the fact that I live in a phenomenally un-tempting part of the U.S. There's nothing I want to spend my money on...)

[vaneramos]

Yes. The limit is way out of proportion to my income. The temptations have not been extravagances, but simple things purchased without discretion over a long period of time.

reducing ones credit limit is usually not good for your credit rating. Better to leave it and not use it.

[vaneramos]

Unfortunately I have to reduce it.

I'm very impressed that you are taking these steps and approaching the situation in such a solid and realistic way.

The support of my friends makes a huge difference. Thank you.
