Day 89 on Lexapro.

Day 67 on Lamictal.

posted much, much later…

This day, because my internet is still out, we made a trip to E. Liz’s house to use her computer. I was anxious about printing out my grocery list for the week.

And because I hadn’t done any of the preparatory work on Saturday, a large portion of this day was devoted to making the most of the Grocery Game.

First, I bought a newspaper. Then I clipped coupons.

I pored over my list again and again until I was sure I was going to get everything I wanted.

And nothing I didn’t.

Then we went shopping.

And for the second week in a row, I saved $58 on my groceries.

And I was thrilled.

When we came home, I worked to organize my kitchen even more.

As my stockpile grows and my organization increases, things become simpler.

Meals become easier to plan and prepare. As a result, money gets saved.

Cleaning up also becomes a simpler task. As a result, time gets saved.

Slowly but surely, things are coming together.

One thing at a time. Kitchen first. Then I will move to other rooms.

As my daily chores and responsibilities become streamlined, I am left with the time and energy to devote to the things I really care about.

Like Em. And my business. And having fun, too.

I really have come a long way in a short amount of time.

And this night, I am so relieved.
