Positive developments? #2

Well, had the second meeting with the auditor today. She gave us a month to come up with more proof before finalizing. Long story short, we proved another $5,000 in medical expenses and reduced our bill by $1,000! It was great. Hadn't seen W in 5 weeks, so I was apprehensive, but it was a very good time. We got manicures to celebrate! My first time, and W was surprised that I went along. It was fun.

I've been feeling really down and depressed with not having a job and not getting to see W, plus financial troubles. I read Michelle's "take care of yourself" article about working out every day and decided to do it for the last 3 weeks. It means getting up at 5:30 every morning, which I was very reluctant to do, but long story short I've lost 20 pounds! Not eating out because I'm broke helped also.

W couldn't stop commenting on how good I looked, it was nice. I want to keep it off this time. Going to a career connection deal at church tonight, should be good.

I feel good that we still seem to have a good friendship. Romance stage has definitely cooled off, which I find frustrating, but W has also been feeling terrible the last couple months. I want to keep working on myself and give it time.
