Everytime I can justify the cost ($300) some other unexpected expense comes up.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was the Admin Services picnic and ASE awards. They have the awards every 6 months and for the last several months Deb nominated me for an award, bless her. I never win. This time I was nominated as part of a group for the Travel website (not by Deb) and actually won it. It is worth $250 for me. Close enough, I am getting my lens before something else comes up and if I think hard enough, I am sure there is already something waiting.<\/p>\n<p>Today I had a free evalation at Positive Changes which is a hypnosis center that specializes in weightloss. I thought maybe the $250 would go to that but but that is one expensive program. It is two times a week for a full year at $2700. Uh, I think I will go back and try self-hypnosis again.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like a really good program that should work, I was impressed but I can&#8217;t justify the cost yet. Maybe I will get desparate enough someday.<\/p>\n<p>Work was much better this week though I am getting slow again.<\/p>\n<p>Hollace started school this week. I guess she likes it ok.
