First the spiral... Logically I know that I'm liked, loved and actually quite popular. Emotionally I feel rejected and unwanted at the moment. I know that it's silly and random events caused plans to be canceled. I still can't shake the feeling though. Work continues to be a drain as I don't have anything interesting to keep me occupied during the day. I'm counting the days until my mini-vacation on the 17th (19 currently) and hope that the break will help to lift my mood.

Now some good... I've been looking into learning watch and clock repair as a hobby. I've found a few classes at a local college but I've missed them semester. Today I also found two online classes that teach the basics. The online classes are $50 and the kits cost about $380. I think I'll take the online ones to get started. They're less expensive and buying the parts and tools in a kit is easier, though less fun, than trying to find the individual tools.

While saving up the money for the big kit I want to look for some small kits to build. Just something to get my hands involved in building without breaking the bank. I can see the end of the debt and I don't want to derail that, but I need something to occupy some hours and TV and video games don't cut it at the moment.
