Day 212: Indoor Baseball Practice
Baseball Coach — $8.00
Given to the coach to help cover the costs of renting tunnel space and batting cages for practice today since the weather was yucky outside. The Son’s team has their first game on Wednesday but they’ll be playing without The Son — Wednesday’s are cello lessons and orchestra rehearsal nights for us [...]
Day 211: Dining, Church, School
Church — $15.00
Weekly offering.
Starbucks — $3.41
The Daughter and I made a “designer coffee” run this morning while The Son attended religious instruction. The friend ordered and purchased her own coffee; The Daughter had a mini scone and a hot chocolate.

Both kids voted for lunch at Wild Oats instead of Einstein’s Bagels. I’m [...]
Day 210: More Groceries
Saturday. The Daughter and I went grocery shopping together. Actually, we went to the local rec center/gym to check out the facility and to inquire about the cost of some personal trainer sessions. While we were out, we stopped for some groceries because, despite a string of what seems like 10 straight days of grocery [...]

Day 208: Returns, Towels, and Lavage
Lavage session — $70.00
It’s expensive. It’s painful. But the effect it’s having on my IBS is both undeniable and fabulous. This is the longest stretch of symptom relief I’ve had in about a decade.
Old Navy — ($40.87)
I returned the baseball jersey ($3.49) and the hooded jacket ($34.50) that the son rejected the other day.
T.J. Maxx [...]
Netflix Subscription Adjustment
The Husband’s been bugging me for months now to downgrade our Netflix subscription. I’ve always resisted because I’ve liked the flexibility that our 3-at-a-time subscription allowed. With 3-at-a-time, I could keep up a steady flow of The West Wing discs for me, have a weekly movie that The Husband and I have picked out, and [...]
Day 207: Political Donation & Food
Obama for America — $10.00
What is this, my third or fourth donation? I’ve been meaning to donate again for the last few months but never seem to get around to it. I know it will never happen, but I threw my $10 into Obama’s pot so I’d have a chance at his latest “dinner with [...]
