Day 170: Fast-Food
Moving house is a stressful and busy endeavor — even when it’s someone else who is moving. My mom is moving across the country. She’s moving from her own fairly small 5-room house into my sister’s much larger house — but mom will only have one room of her own.
Going through all of mom’s possessions has been [...]
Day 169: Food & Water
The Daughter has a cold or some other crud. Unfortunately, I fear I’m going to come down with something too. Today I’m feeling just a little off kilter. My thoat’s a little tight; my body aches — not terribly but enough that I know I’m either getting sick or suffering from a fibro flare; and my thinking [...]
Day 168: Travel Expenses — Gas, Meals, & Munchies
The Daughter and I made the drive to my mom’s today. In case you missed the first part of this saga, my mom is moving. She sold her little house where she lives alone with her dogs and is moving across the country to live with my youngest sister, her husband, and their three children. [...]
Day 167: Stupid Tax, Co-Pay, more Underwear, & Chocolate Milk
Doctor Co-Pay — $25.00
The Daughter left me a novel-length note this morning before she left for school. The gist was that she’s feeling yucky and wanted me to make a doctor appointment to make sure she doesn’t have mono. I knew she was being alarmist but since we’re getting ready to leave town for a [...]
Day 166: Colonics, Underwear, Groceries, Bedding, and Speech Therapy
How’s that for a interesting collection of expenses? It certainly was a full day. Here we go with my today’s daily dollar diary entry:
Alternative Care & Supplements — $106.57
I started the morning with a colonic session ($70) and bought a bottle of herbal supplements specifically formulated to give relief for some of my IBS symptoms (most [...]
No Valentines for my loved ones
Happy Valentine’s Day!
There, I gave you all the same thing I gave my family for Valentine’s Day – a greeting.
I don’t really have anything against Valentine’s Day. Sure, it’s a silly little tradition that lets flower shops, craft stores, greeting card companies, and chocolatiers rake in the dough. If people want to buy into that, go for [...]
Day 165: Lunch, Dinner, Gas, & Music Lessons
Today is Wednesday which means it must be music day. Well, it was supposed to be music day. We went all the way to The Son’s cello lesson but the teacher never showed up. I’m guessing we got our wires crossed — I’d mentioned that we needed to cancel next week’s lesson; maybe he thought [...]
