Although the changes that are going on in my life are good, the growing pains are definitely not pleasant. In order to terminate a toxic partnership I had to give up some creature comforts such as a car and computer. I must now rely on the bus system for a short time, and I'm having to use a library computer. It just goes to show you how spoiled most of us are! I don't consider myself to be much of a consumer, but I do consider a car and computer necessary. At least I was able to replace the tv without too much time passing. :-)
