As most of my long-time readers know, I try my best in this blog to be as honest as I possibly can, in part to make up for the amount of lying that was part of my life before. That isn't always easy, a lot of the time I'd rather talk about something "safe" than bring out the tough stuff that's going on. Like, for example, discovering I did the double-look at boys, that was not easy to write out for public consumption, to say the least.
Sadly, I'm faced with one of those moments again
I just came back from the bank, and I have far less money than I should, and its all because I've let myself spend when I needed to save for paying my bills. As a result, I am going to have to go to my brother and trade labor for money so I don't have to leave my mother short on my share of the bills here.
I have also decided the only way to prevent this in the future is that I am taking out my debit card from my wallet and leaving it at home, so I can't spend money unless I plan ahead to take it or go back for it.
I am deeply ashamed of my irresponsibility, and am hoping this idea helps curb that tendency in the future.

Retail therapy...
Dorothy!.......like you're the first woman to overindulge the retail therapy!?!?!?!
Don't go without plastic as out and about you might have an emergency and need it but link your debit card to a separate account to the one with income and bills to be paid. As well as curbing your own overindulgence this is a safeguard against stolen card or details.
On sex-drive, a downside of HRT is there is no major relief and increasing embarrassment with age so I have found no alternative to being open developing a sense of humour about it....
Remember that being human is no cause for shame once you accept that and take precautions

Something for you to think
Something for you to think about. It's not easy listening, but it's as relevant today as it was back in '82.

You shaped ideas system
You made it clear system
You'll pay the price system
Look what you've done
I've got the feeling
It's begun to warp
You told some lies system
The big surprise system
But open eyes system
Saw through it all
I've got the feeling
It's begun to warp
All over now system
They found you out system
So where to now system
Look what you've done
I've got the feeling
It's begun to warp
It's not you that should feel ashamed.
