thank you for the post ,Sad:)
I dug into some boxes today and tried to sort through mounds of old mail and receipts…I mean I sat down for almost two hours doing this. I found lots of sentimental cards and of course old bills, paystubs, and junk mail. I also found over $4500.00 in check requests and ATM receipts for the casino most of that in a two week period from last Feb. The waste of that money really hit me hard. Back in Oct. I thought we had burned all those receipts. I found three for over $600 each and that means we had already gotten our daily limit from the ATM. We were out of control!
I worked all day on sorting junk drawers and paperwork. I realize I need to buy a filing cabinet. I need to put photos in albums. I have a major headache from reading all those late bill letters and the dust from pushing several boxes full of paperwork to the back of the closet. I found some old poetry (mine and my husband’s). I found a letter I wwrote to my hb just before our daughter was born, drawings from the kids, report cards, and a letter from my Granny to my daughter from1993. Very emotional overall. The biggest complaint I have is you can’t tell I did a thing. The house is still a mess!
I also had a virus attack my computer and encrypt all my photos and documents. I spent hours last night and early this morning with some antivirus software. The bugs (trojan viruses mostly are gone, but the encryption looks permanent for the previous stuff. The warning that came up basically said, I wiuld have to pay to get the key to unlock my documents. It was badly mispelled and very ominous looking. I let my subscription lapse for the antivirus software. Now it’s up and running again.
My husband is doing much better. He cleaned the garage and swept and mopped today. (He has done the floors since our dog sheds so bad and I always tell him, that is his dog). I can’t have rugs or carpet because of that poor dog!
so I am tired, mentally tired most of all.
Sure am glad I am not gambling. I haven’t had many strong urges lately, but it has only been 21 days since my last trip. Seeing all those receipts make sure I won’t gamble tomorrow either! After that it is odaat!
