I had the car today and had to take The Son into the city for a school activity so I took the opportunity to get some Christmas errands done.  It was a very productive day.
Apple — $48.42
During my last One-to-One session, I mentioned my database woes (currently using Access but want to move everything to [...]

$$: Dec 15 - Physical Therapy, etc.

Total Spent Today: $91.85

Physical Therapy — $25.00
This was, for now, The Son’s last physical therapy session.  His range of motion is excellent though not quite 100%.  His strength needs more work but he’s going to have to work on that on his own.  If The Son should run into range of motion issues at some point — ie [...]

Ah, finally catching up with my Daily $$ posts.  I’m really tired and desperately want to go to bed but I refuse to until I’m all caught up.  So, without further ado, here we go:
Kroger — $10.00
We dropped off the doc’s prescription yesterday and I picked up my new thyroid meds today.  I’m now taking [...]

$$: Dec 8 - Medical Expenses and Christmas Gifts

Total Spent Today: $324.01

Ugh.  Still trying to catch up on my Daily Dollar postings.
Physical Therapy — $25.00
Another physical therapy session for The Son.  His range of mobility continues to improve; he’s so very close to full range.  Actually, the therapist says he has an extended range of mobility — one that a baseball pitcher would envy.  For years [...]

Is It Possible I’m Doing Something Right?

The Son is 14.  Despite the fact that he’s a bit quirky and probably has Asperger’s, he’s a pretty typical 14-year-old boy.
Lately he has started drawing my attention to TV commercials for iPhone applications that he thinks are very, very cool.  So cool that Mr. Even-Tempered’s eyes get all big and shiny and he exclaims, [...]

Addendum to November 11 Spending

Total Spent Today: $111.44

Ever wake up in the morning and have no recollection of where you went or what you did the day before?  Okay, ever have that happen without the influence of alcohol?
All day today I’ve been freaked out by the fact that I posted Tuesday’s expenses thinking I was completely coherent only to discover that I [...]

$$: FUN & Outrageous Spending

Ecobikeusa.com — $1,174.00
More Christmas shopping.  This time I was shopping for The Husband.  There’s a story here:
A few weeks ago the whole family attended a little BBQ party.  One of the party attendees arrived with his wife on the back of this cute little scooter.  Over burgers, he told us all about his new “ride.”  [...]
