For instance situations would arise and I did not know how to handle them so I'd wait to see if an answer would shine through and the problem would be solved. I'm patient that way although it's not always the best way.
This morning a back burner puzzle resurfaced as I changed the counter and perhaps if I review it, rethink it, fresh ideas will follow. It's the disclosure of money. I've always intended to add up all the money I gambled away and put the total on the blog and begin subtracting money I've restored to the pot. A money counter on the blog would be a super addition.
I'm good at addition but it makes me cringe to actually think how I will retrieve the information. We are talking about years of paycheck dollars from both of us because I handled all the family finances. Plus 2 refinances of our mortgage, a second lien mortgage, two retirement accounts of mine, and my husbands retirement monies. Adding tallies from charge accounts gets complicated if I want to account for the debt we had before my disease started.
I've always known that retrieving all these records is the place to start but why do this if I don't have a windfall of income to begin repayment? Maybe I'm just scared of facing the final figure.
Well, no burden has been lifted as I haven't solved the problem so I'll have to move this topic to the back burner again. In my world you can do that and it gives me space, frees my mind. First things first is the plan and I need to move on with the morning and finish something, a painting I think.
It was good to revisit this money thing though because it makes me even more determined to plug away with my projects. I may be in the clouds again, dreaming, but it keeps me motivated.
