Hi Carole! Thanks for your post. I’m glad that the shopping wasn’t as bad as you thought it would be and that you deposited your check and were able to fight the urges. One day at a time! I am chillin also as it is snowing here. I made it to Walmart this morning before the snow and stocked up on soup, ect… I totally understand my sister bailing her son out of jail. Even though we don’t talk, I worry and am concerned about her. I’m proud of you. You made a lot of life changes this year. Moving was a big one and living on your own. I think that we don’t give ourselves enough credit. You have been through a lot this year also. So, every once in awhile we need to tell ourselves, good job!!!! Take care and have a awesome gamble free day!
