I'm feeling pretty stressed out. We couldn't really afford to lose $100 on the paint. But my husband is trying to stop drinking (he usually has 3 beers a night which is costing a lot) so if he manages it, it will save us at least $100. He isn't the type who can just have a beer once in a while. If it's there, he will drink it, so we currently have none. He also has a few tokes every evening but does not abuse it or appear high.

Other than that, I'm still feeling depressed about my friend's death and haven't done any fiction writing. I need to get started again.

My appointment with the specialist is next week to talk about my colon. Yay.... My brother has rectal cancer and my mother had a cancerous polyp removed so I definitely have a family history. But I had a colonoscopy less than two years ago so hope it's nothing.
