$$: Groceries, Meds, Tests, & Pizza
I’m still not driving though I feel myself improving by leaps and bounds and the Vicodin-induced fog is definitely lifting (my last pill-popping session was the 1/2 a Vicodin I took on Saturday night). And when I’m not driving, I’m generally not spending. Interesting correlation, that.
The Husband came back from the office to convey The [...]
Wall Street: Applying Lessons Learned in Yellowstone Park?
I’ve been keeping a closer eye on the American economic situation today after taking a break yesterday.
On the evening news I listened to the station’s talking heads discuss a local wild fire. Right on the heels of that story, the bailout plan in Congress was covered.

$$: Bumper Stickers

Because I wasn’t watching the market today, I didn’t [...]

What a blessing a licensed 16-yo can be! I sent The Son and The Daughter off together to church this morning. It was nice to know I could skip church without putting any additional stress on The Husband. The Daughter got herself and her brother to chuch and home again — and filled up the [...]

Offer ends October [...]
$$: Whole Foods
I caved last night. The pain was just too bad yesterday and the thought of another sleepless night just too much to bear. I took a Vicodin. I slept several hours last night; on the couch where I can sleep sitting up more comfortably than in bed. I still feel like someone slit my throat [...]
