Lightening Up

I know that I really need to. Some days are better than others, of course. I haven't really felt a part of anything and I guess I'm just tired of feeling that way. Too much backstory to share right now, but whatever... driving onward... Today was okay. A lot of reading to get caught up on the cases I now "own." I am not looking forward to the nightmarish claims adjuster that everyone dreads talking to. Whatever, maybe I can make her like me! We'll see. I spent some time putting my financial house in a little better order. I hadn't been having the discipline to put cash away, but next month I'm starting the automatic deductions so I can start paying myself like a bill and socking away into my IRA or stocks. That will also get what little spending I do under control. That will remove one section of my stress and anxiety. I went looking for law school classmates online and found 2 of them that work nearby. I'm going to reach out and see if we can do lunch or something. I'll be honest: both of them are superstars, so I don't know how I feel about talking to them and not being on the same professional level. But I got along with both of them in school, so I'm not going to let my feelings of inadequacy stop me from making a connection. Who knows, maybe they hate their lives too? Doubt it, but we'll find out...
