I think the stress is getting to me. Despite eating well and getting a fair amount of exercise, my weight isn't dropping. I'm also losing my motivation to do anything and even got spendy these last few days. I dropped $57 on new clothes (5 blouses and a jumpsuit) and $67 on a living social deal for a car detailing. My car is now fully mine and is excessively dirty given how much I live out of it during the winter. Detailing my car has been something I've always wanted to treat myself to yearly, but this is the first time I'm doing it in 4 years. I think once I get all of the junk out of it, I'll feel much better.
On a happier note, heading into DC tomorrow for the Cherry Blossom Festival. It should be a nice day, and I've never seen them so I'm excited about that.
(Potential) new puppy is feeling much better. We won't get her until the following Sunday, but I was really hoping to finish out the approval process this week because that would be a huge weight off my shoulders to know we're already approved. However, since they knew she was ill and not going home this week, the volunteer delayed getting to me, so our home visit is next Thursday instead.
Life's stressing me out

Once done, are there any changes are you willing to make to keep your car de-cluttered to enjoy it more? What kind of trash control do you use? Perhaps keep a bin, the type used to wash dishes, on the back floor to corral weird things like gloves, scarves, tissue box, stuff to be returned or taken to someone next time we're in that area. A fold down flat plastic bin in the trunk keeps grocery bags up right. DH uses the 2 parts of cardboard banana box to control stuff in the trunk.
We take our small dog in the car, but have a mesh divider that hooks to each side. Do you have a car kennel ?

VS, I actually have been doing two miles daily with the dog. I think I just need to allow myself a decent Friends marathon and a good movie cry and then I'd probably be good. Just too many emotions going on and not enough outlets...

I get how frustrating it is to feel like you're eating well and not having the scale budge. I also have a hard time keeping my car neat, though it usually is neater than my apartment. Best way I found to keep my car under control was to have a passenger in it at least once a week ... makes you more "aware" of the clutter.
