Our laptop

Bills/rent/living expenses

A few plans that got canceled; My trip to NYC; you’d think I would say “my wedding” but I’m not ;)
9. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder? A little jaded; more realistic

Eat; pine; live in the world of fantasy

24. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2009:
Stay more grounded in reality and pay attention to everything.
I am starting this year off on a better foot. My tennis elbow pain is nearly gone; the cortisone shot worked for now. I’m scheduling for an epidural inter-vertebra cortisone shot. I spent the day purging. Out with the old, in with the new. Bought new “everyday” panties and got rid of the sorry ones. Bought a slew of new socks to replace ones that were dead or dying or lost their mates. Purchased all new bed pillows and throwing out the old ones (ick! the things I read about pillows!!). This weekend we’re doing a major clean up, give away, re-organize to the apartment. I can’t stand to live like this any more! We made good headway today, better than I expected, and the endeavor continues this weekend.
