Day 2 NO SMOKING!

I am so relieved to learn about my bonus. I am relieved that I will get at the very least 6K. 5K covers what I need coming up in expenses, so I will at least be able to cover myself but I won't be able to pay off any of my older debt. I have high debt. I am depending on this bonus to pay off half my debt next year. I suppose that if I use the full 60% for debt, that would be a good start. But that is not until next year's bonus money, not now. I have a vacation and a a car lease down payment that requires money.

I scheduled a deep massage while I am on vacation. Problem is the cost is insane - like 3 times the normal rate. I am in a quandry about whether I should be blowing that kind of money on a massage. It feels decadent and frivolous - almost irresponsible. But I am tempted to keep the appointment anyways.

My vacation is 9 weeks away. Plenty of time to decide. I can decide when I get there. I cannot wait for this vacation. I will be counting down the days and weeks. The last time I did that was when planning my honeymoon and marriage in 2019. That feels like a long time ago. I guess it was - 6 years ago.

Anyways, day 2 of no smoking and I am doing well so far! Fingers crossed I really do it this time around.
