Thanks! I did take some time to hang out with friends for dinner, which was very good for me I think. I had not socialized for quite some time. I’m trying to manage my attitude and outlook to stay positive and confident. My biggest burden are the dogs. I’m struggling with how much they limit our freedom, how much constant care they need, and how they take my sleep from me every single night between the three of them. I love them but I can’t put myself first with them. I feel very annoyed about it, especially the puppy that husband stuck me with that I felt we couldn’t take on. I assume I’ll feel better about it with time, but right now it’s really messing with me and I feel burdened to the point I feel like it’s insane that I spend so much energy on pets. The only way I keep my head on straight about it is that the puppy is a companion for my kid which makes the added stress and financial burden worth it.

If I’m honest with myself, I’m feeling a lot of distress, warding off negativity. Things are working out though.

I think I might be accommodating and compromising to a fault. Ive always been able to shift my attitude but I now need to change something about myself. Maybe it’s just a stress and I don’t need to change, just need to breathe.

He sent more money yesterday. It will cover three reimbursements and his half of two upcoming debts. Still need school stuff.
and to neuter the dog which is over $300.

Whatever. I’ll get through. I’m still just three months into this new job and trying to accept its stable. I am really starting to look forward to my PTO.
