WCB, Thanks so much for the encouraging words. The sad thing is that from all my reading and learning I know all of this and have advised it to others on this board but I can't seem to follow it myself. Today is a new day though. I have never been one to have much patience - I always want instant gratification. So this will be part of my 180 - be patient!! I am really going to try to stop obsessing about this and GAL. I am going to start looking for a part-time job. I am going to occupy my time by tearing down the wallpaper in the kitchen and doing things that can help take my mind off this for awhile. BTW, where in Chi town are you? I'm in the NW suburbs.
