3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Cats and Son have unfortunately but not unexpectedly put us in the red for the first time since 2008, and it's going to get worse before it gets better! I have no regrets. What loving parent wouldn't give their Son his big shot at the Big Time? With cats and miscellaneous extra expenses, plus the last few clients being given promotional rates, this has increased the debt. Christmas is coming and Son is on the cusp of being 18. That is too significant a milestone not to mark!
October seems to have been a mildly challenging month, with all kinds of minor things going wrong. However, apart from the financial headache, things have returned to stability as we go into November. I have long-since learned to live for today, and so I will plough on with my daily objectives, making a difference to self, environment and others.

3. Austria was to be restored as a free and independent nation

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Two minor events had a disproportionate effect on yesterday: the gas engineer reported that he could gain no access to our house and the loss of my Tumblr accounts, a year's worth of work.
In the first incident, I have little doubt that the engineer blatantly lied to make his schedule easier - there was no advance phone-call (we usually get one) and no calling card - a complaint was duly made! Let's see if one turns up today!
The second is my own fault, mixing business blogs with hobby blogs on the same account and breaking Tumblr's rules (inadvertantly) on the hobby pages, causing me to lose the lot.
Though the life-impact of these events is minor, they served to ruin my day, and caused me to sulk in my Consulting Room all evening. Fortunately, the communication between myself and Missus means that she was very understanding, for which I was most grateful. By 10pm I had finally gone into acceptance mode and went to bed early, ready to start rebuilding the online stuff but to give Missus priority.
Learning to respond appropriately to adversity is an essential part of personal development. Not having useful parental role-models, is something I'm having to learn later in life. However I'm pleased with the speed of my recovery and that I didn't hurt the ones I love.

It is much more valuable to look for the strengths in others—you gain nothing by criticizing people’s imperfections.
