Hibernating

I am not as excited as I thought I'd be from paying off that wicked Bank of America card... I think the weather has most of my senses in hibernation mode. It's so cold all I really feel like doing is getting home and going to sleep. I hope I'm not the only one. I've been looking for a portable, rechargeable hand warmer. Know of any good ones? I did a quick search and there's loads of lousy ones followed by really expensive ones.

February will be a very boring month overall. This whole stretch between New Year's and Memorial Day is long and uneventful. And cold. I keep thinking that planning a vacation during January and April would be a great idea, but haven't gotten around to it. Perhaps one of these years?

I'm thankful January is slowly coming to a close. It's making me catch up with reading (I'm almost up to 2 books read, and several in queue that I may want to read). But I need better ways to stall this financial restless feeling where I can't do much. Even if I did pay $1,535 in credit card debt and paid off a long-time enemy of mine, I can't feel excited. Maybe I'll get a break in February and get excited about this journey again.

In the mean time, back to hibernation.

    1. Thanks! I agree, student loans seem to be the worst... or largest.

    1. I'd hole up in my closet, but that's colder than the rest of the house!
