Yesterday went so so. Not mentally or emotionally a problem, just didn't get the results I was hoping for which kind of bummed me out. But not in a bad way. More in a normal person kind of way. No major mood swings going on which is a positive. I just didn't get some information that I was hoping for regarding the timeshare. Turns out that Starwood won't 'buy' it back. They will allow me to turn it over to them, but I lose everything. I instead have just under three months to either sell it or rent it to pay them $2800 or I lose it. But instead of getting pissed or depressed, I decided to be pro-active. I sent out emails and phone calls to a bunch of places that sell timeshares. Some good news came of that. I found out that my place is worth exactly what I paid for it 4 years ago which is great. If I can sell in time then I will not lose anything and have had the luxury of taking vacations in Hawaii, the Bahamas, and Europe. $10,000 worth of hotel charges plus not losing my money. Cool. The other thing I learned is that my place at this time of year rents for $2500-$3500 a week. Ok, there's another option. If I can slam a rental in there I can pay what I owe them, and still have my place. If I can pull that off, then I can do that a couple of more times and still keep the place until I can get back on track. See? Not stressing or freaking out, making a plan, seeing what I can do, and moving forward. Being smart. :) Going to send a few emails this weekend to some folks to see if I can rent it out. That will be the easiest thing to do. I will ask $2800 exactly what I owe. Not being greedy.

In other news, I worked yesterday thank goodness. Two different clients. Plus my bosses have me going to a training class next week. I am looking forward to that. I am going to take the train every day which will actually be fun. Get to feel 'urban' as it's in the city. I am looking forward to that and to learning something new. Kind of excited. That will be w-f. Just need to handle mon and tues.

Watched a couple of movies last night - Eraserhead and Altered States. Yeah, I know. My brain hurt afterwards. Let's see, what else...

Oh, I made room for the fridge. I just need to get the damn thing in here. Still struggling with that.

Ok time to go clean my house obsessively from top to bottom. All day project to keep me out of trouble and make me too tired to do anything else tonight. And for the record? Three weeks no booze as of today.
