$$: All The Usual Suspects

Posted on | December 1, 2008 |

Total Spent Today: $79.56

Ah, another day in suburbia; another day in the life of a suburban wife and mother.

Physical Therapy — $25.00
We started the day with a physical therapy session for The Son. His broken clavicle is healing nicely and PT is coming along nicely too. The therapist gave The Son several additional Range-of-Motion exercises as well as some strengthing exercises. He’ll go in again on Wednesday and from there we’ll evaluate whether or not we’ll do any more appointments.

Kroger Pharmacy — $10.00
While The Son was at PT, The Husband and I ran to pick up my synthroid prescription. We’re in the final countdown, now, until my long-awaited post-surgery appointment with my endocrinologist. He’s kept me on my previous thyroid-replacement dosage this whole time (since September 22) and I just can’t take it any more. I’m so incredibly hypothyroid; the fatigue literally burns.

Vitamin Cottage — $44.56
Our last quick stop on the way home where The Husband will drop us off before going back to work, leaving me without a vehicle for the rest of the day.

Applegate sliced roast beef — $5.19
Applegate organic smoked turkey — $5.49
2 Applegate Farms frozen chicken pot pies — $3.55/ea.
Amy’s frozen broccoli cheese pot pie — $2.89
Amy’s cheese pocket — $2.45
FiberSmart 200ct fiber capsules — $19.39

I also put in a $300.00 automatic trade order with Sharebuilder. First, I transfered funds between my WaMu on-line savings account and my WaMu free checking. Then I put in the order on Sharebuilder. Assuming all goes as it should, Sharebuilder will purchase $300’s worth of GE stock for me tomorrow. The plan is for this to be my only Sharebuilder transaction in December. I’ve decided to make larger, slightly less frequent automatic investments in my Sharebuilder account to cut down on my transaction fees ($4 per trade). I’ll include the $300 expense in tomorrow’s spending total as it won’t actually be invested until then.
