Ok people... this terrible planner has some good news to report! 1) got my bro to buy awesome concert tix for my birthday 6 months from now! And already know who is coming with me! 2) reached out to old friend who lives far away... she is excited for me and D to come visit. Convo with H at mediation made me realize that I can decide, all by myself, to use community $ to pay for a vacation for me and D. So, that is in the works for feb. 3) nearly ready to buy plane tix for girls weekend, also in feb. 4) tentative plan to co-host party with new single mom friend. 5) started brainstorming ideas for our staycation over new year's: to include new adventures in our area, cookie decorating, Ice skating, craft projects..
Thank you all for the pep talk and great advice. I feel a whole lot better.
Also.. I have done my PT exercises every night except one. ..and am feeling stronger! Onward!! Lots of good stuff in the works.
