A bit more on concentration

[Guest guest]

As I've been reading messages on the subject I got to thinking (dangerous thing

for me to do).

I've been reading " The Complete Cheapskate " by Hunt and last evening I sat

down with a new 3 column book and began setting up my " Freedom " account. It's

where you list all your irregular payments (taxes, insurance etc) a page for

each and figure how much to list for each of the 12 months. You start a

separate checking account (the freedom account) and have the bank deposit the

amount you specify each month (if you're paid monthly) in that account. That

way whenever one of the irregular payments comes due (like a quarterly tax

payment) you have the money to pay without fracturing your other checkbook.

I've explained it badly but anyhow I got so absorbed in what I was doing that

for two hours sitting still my legs were blissfully quiet. BUT this is my

point. When I first sat down I had no symptoms of RLS. In other words if my

legs are quiet and I set about doing something quiet that demands my total

concentration my legs remain quiet. IF MY LEGS ARE STARTING TO BUZZ IT IS

TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO CONCENTRATE ON ANYTHING BUT THE MISERY GROWING

INSIDE MY LIMBS.

Incidentally, I don't have any cataclysmic debts but I've found a lot of info to

help me manage better than I have been. I got the book by ordering online from

Amazon.

CHEERS!!

I was given the hairy eyeball by my NP last Monday for not exercising enough so

this morning I'm off to the pool at Castleton State College. It's nice to

plunge into a 84 deg pool inside while through the windows I can see snow

outside.
