Suburban Wife’s Daily Dollar Diary

a financial voyeur’s dream come true: all the intimate details of how, where, and why I spend money

$$: 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 [...]

$$: Dec 10 - Medical Expense

Total Spent Today: $50.00

Finally almost caught up with my Daily $$ posts!
Doctor co-pay — $50.00
Finally, my appointment to see my Endocrinologist.
This is my first post-thyroidectomy appointment with him.  After enumerating my long list of hypothyroid symptoms the guy actually had the nerve to ask why I hadn’t called him and requested an earlier appointment in light of the [...]

Counting My Blessings: #7

I didn’t post a “Counting My Blessings” post yesterday — I guess because Thanksgiving was over and everyone else had moved on to Black Friday and the big build-up to Christmas.  But it isn’t sitting well with me — leaving off without counting all of my blessings.  So, please bear with me as I continue [...]

$$: Chiropractor

Total Spent Today: $35.00

Chiropractor — $35.00
Remember when The Son broke his clavicle in early September?  Well, his body’s been a mess ever since — as you might well imagine.  After all, he didn’t just fall and snap his collarbone.  No, he tripped and tumbled and took off large patches of skin on his hip and back and bruised [...]

Today’s ode is to my health.

$$: Coyote Sighting Edition

Total Spent Today: $1,954.94

A coyote crossed the road in front of me this morning as it traveled from one section of greenbelt to another.  I can’t remember ever being that close to a coyote before and seeing it there, in the middle of an upscale suburban development, was a glorious testament to the will and drive to survive [...]
