Hadn’t heard from SO in a few days and then last night he popped up. Said he needed a break. He pretty much told me that his mother, daughter and the baby was driving him nuts. I personally don’t think he was telling me to say, I want to come back, but more of I have got to get myself together. I simply listened. He did mention that he considered getting himself a hotel room, I told him I thought that l he should, and to disconnect. No phone, no tv, just journal about where he†...

I sat in the doctor's office for more than an hour just to pick up the kit for colon cancer screening. I thought they could just hand it to me, but I had to sign in at the lab and wait my turn before they could look at my record and determine which kit I needed. They were crazy busy. I can't understand why they couldn't have it ready for me; seems like a poor way to handle it. Last time it was mailed to me, but I guess they've changed their policy. So, because it took so long, my car was ...

Hi, everyone. I got paid again today, so I am sending more money to pay off debt, add more to savings, bills, and retirement. I thought I was going to be able to send extra to ccs, but I had to make an unexpected trip out of town. But that's okay, because I did not go into debt to pay for it. As part of my regular savings, I sent $40.00 to emergency savings and $140.00 total to various sinking funds. I have some change leftover from last payday. I will use that to spend at the grocery s ...

Well, the boys and I had our last summer day together yesterday. We ate at their favorite restaurant, Noodles & Co. ($18). I also bought a few groceries for $11, mainly so we could have ice cream at home. Variables are now at 96%. I'm going to do a load of laundry today. Other than that, I should not have to spend anything. My gas tank IS half-down, but I'm going to beg a ride with DS to the baseball game on Sunday. I may have a music lesson trip (25 minutes each way) before pay day, bu ...

I’ve been on a cleaning decluttering spree, since the SO left. Last night I got home and tried placing that dingy sofa 🛋 the SO had in the spare room on the dump for pick up and it got stuck in the hallway 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄. I had no one to call but him to help me get it out. I’m glad we parted ways on good terms. We were able make a few adjustments and get it out. I am so relieved. I still got a few things to get out of that room but th ...

My birthday is this weekend, and I've taken tomorrow off so that I'll have a long weekend. Last year I spent a long weekend in Amish country. This year, with the still-recovering kitty and a focus on trying to cut debt, I'm not going away overnight (until a mandatory business trip next month). Although I left it late, plans for the weekend have come together nicely. Tomorrow, I'm going out to breakfast and kayaking with a couple of friends. Tomorrow evening is a picnic and service with some ...

I spent $3 yesterday on parking. I could have parked further away for free, but I was chauffeuring the boys around to different places and did not want to be too far away from the car. Because GS2 had a last-minute playdate, we did not celebrate Eat-Out Day yesterday. I heated up leftovers for GS1. Today we will go out to Noodles & Co. Tomorrow DIL will be at home, and on Monday the boys start school. I will be taking the boys to music lessons, and occasional medical appointments, but ...

I've had so many dinners out lately, and most of them I haven't paid for! Last night I was treated at Buffalo Wild Wings. I got really bad service; my order did not come until well after everyone else was served, and I don't think I ever would have gotten it if my waitress hadn't been flagged down and told. I actually told the others not to bother, because I was already full from appetizers and they could just take it off the bill. But they did, so I got three tacos and ate one. I didn't th ...

Today was a pretty good day. I got to visit with my aunt, who is here for a week staying at another aunt’s home. When I got home tonight, I tackled the spare bathroom. SO, left that shower 🚿 curtain a mess, and the tub 🛁 needed to be cleaned 🧼 . I tell you what, it’s the best feeling coming home to a clean house. I did go over budget, using my fun money, to buy things for the house, but I’m glad I did. Not to mention all was paid for with cash. ...

DH and I attended an estate sale last weekend. I found two beautiful quilts that didn't have stains, were beautifully pieced and the quilting was exquisite. They had a lamp that is a reproduction Tiffany style that a friend was looking for. Plus there was a bunch of material. The material was "fill up a bag for $3." DH fell in love with some of the material and encouraged me to get it. We wound up buying the quilts and the lamp as well. The prices, in total, would have been $233 for it all, but ...

I paid $1,022 on my CC for August bringing my balance to $4,846! So exciting to be under $5k, next month will be a lot smaller progress. Sold and delivered 2 goats this weekend so I put money back for the last batch of hay this year. I have 4 possibly 5 more goats sold which will go to their new homes next month. So that will be a nice big chunk of change to come in. That will be almost the end of the goat sales for this year. Paid for our birthing classes and put back the final $200 ...

I emailed and then called the property manager about my mold fears. They told me I would have to get permission from my upstairs neighbor to get testing, because he would have to pay for it. So frustrating! But they did, at least, share his phone number and email address with me, which is the first time they've done so in all this time. BUT, I don't think I'm going to get the testing right now. I think I was smelling something quite different. Now that I'm keeping the windows open, tryin ...
