Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time

Journaling.

I picked up my car today. A 2009 Hyundai Accent. The payment is nearly $70 less per month than prior car so my actual paycheck will increase for the first time in more than a year.

Hey, that's progress.

Prof-40 messaged me. She's feeling better. This weekend we're both kid free so hopefully she'll propose getting together. We'll see.

I was at my winter second job of basketball score keeping. She was unsure where the kids were. I explained I couldn't pick either of them up because I had to pick up my car.

She started to go into why this was such a inconvenience when I cut in and said, "I'm sorry. I should have told you my schedule. I have to go though."

She said OK. And we hung up.

My neck is really hurting today and that strange sensation on my teeth is still there. Both are results from the accident. I'm seeing a chiropractor tomorrow and a dentist on Thursday.

I'm not the biggest believer in chiropractors, but I've also never tried one. The one I'm going to see is a really pretty lady I met through divorce class. Hey, I wanted to see if it would help and I won't mind seeing her again. Bonus.

The dentist asked me to come in after I explained to him what I was feeling. This feeling in my teeth is too weird to just let go.

I also haven't been able to go to the gym for four weeks. I feel like a blob -- although I've probably gained just five pounds.

It's really strange that 2011 is almost over. I remember reading a book on divorce right after moving out in May 2009. The writer of the book said it took him four years to get back on his feet financially.

That spooked me. But I'm finishing up year three and I'm just starting to feel solid ground under my feet. I'm sooooo glad there's so much time between me and the bomb.
