$$: Meat and Potatoes
Ugh. Friday’s are tough because The Daughter gets one car and The Husband and I have to share the second one but we both have busy schedules because The Son’s in class on Friday and I volunteer.
Whole Foods — $11.06

$$: Dec 5 - Baby, It’s Cold Inside
Total Spent Today: $82.27
Murphy showed up today and as we all know, visits from Murphy can be expensive.
Our portable electric heater broke. While I was using it. In the basement. It was cold outside. It was warm in the basement until the heater broke.
Honestly, I felt betrayed. The malfunction was completely unexpected. The heater wasn’t all that old. [...]
$$: Gas in the Tank
Total Spent Today: $27.44
Safeway — $27.44
On the way home from church today, the kids and I stopped to tank up The Tank. I pumped 16.639 gallons at an amazing $1.649 per gallon. The odometer read 135,584.
I didn’t write a weekly offering check at church this morning because I forgot my checkbook.

$$: 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.

Still sick. Sick of being sick.
The Husband’s special-needs son is about to turn 41. We celebrated tonight because he joins us for dinner every Saturday. He loves meatloaf — but I had no ground beef. I did have leftover Twice-Baked Potatoes from last night and broccoli I purchased yesterday.
Whole Foods — $9.11

$$: More Clothes & Gas

As I’ve already written, I spent most of the day working for the Obama campaign on one final GOTV push.

During the one break in my volunteer duties, I stopped in the Gap store and returned the two pair of canvas pants I’d [...]

Total Spent Today: $53.00
Today was a very loonnnnnnnng day.
I went to bed at 11:30pm last night. I woke up this morning at 4:45am — about 15 minutes before my alarm was due to go off. The Daughter’s volleyball team made it into the state Regionals tournament which was being held today — in a very small, remote town over [...]
