It’s all up to me

That’s the philosophy I try to follow and that I teach my students.  If I can’t control something there is no sense worrying about it, but sometimes that’s easier said than done.  I am completely exhausted…mentally, physically and emotionally.  I’m so tempted to relax a bit on the food but I know that I would basically be on a free-fall through next weekend if I did that and could honestly pack on 10 pounds.  Instead I ate a healthy supper, watched a movie and was feeling better.

Then I opened the mail.  Our mortgage and home equity loan are through the same bank and we got a past-due notice on the home equity loan.  I paid it, they cashed the check but it has been reported that we are late.  This is the 3rd time in 2 years (and the 2nd time in 3 months) that this has happened.  I’m enraged but I need to calm down.  I’ll save my fury for tomorrow when I go into the bank and get to the bottom of this.  We’re going to demand a copy of our credit report so they can prove to us that it hasn’t affected our credit.  If necessary we can pay off the HELOC and move it to another bank and since we will be moving/building w/i the next year we will NOT be getting our mortgage through this bank unless they resolve it to our satisfaction.  Maybe I’ll calm down by morning but I doubt it.  Grr

I got in a good workout after school and then got a new cellphone.  At least I have a new toy to play with.

Hopefully tomorrow brings a more relaxing day.
