I've got good news and bad news today. First, the good news (ill-humored as it is)...I'm no longer worried about how much I'm smoking because I'm no longer going to try to quit! It is an exercise in futility and I've just decided it's a bigger headache trying to quit and then dealing with the guilt arising when I'm not able to succeed. So, that's my good news.
The bad news is that I met with the bankruptcy attorneys last night and while I have paid the retainer fee, they need a very sizable filing fee in order to proceed. I am awaiting a decision from a family member who will more than likely be able to help me get things started, but I am stressed to the hilt nonetheless. I had an idea of what kind of money might be involved, based on others I know who have previously filed, however, it seems with the new bankruptcy laws, part of making it more difficult for people to file is demonstrated by their exorbitant fees. Yeah, I guess one way to discourage someone from filing bankruptcy is to charge them an arm and a leg. Hello people...we are coming to you for help because we can't AFFORD to pay the bills, not because we're looking for a bigger one. Money..I'll just never really understand it.

How is that lighter holding up? :) You didn't post about your review with your boss. Is that still happening?
