Well, we are still surrounded by a sea of ice and snow and it’s been a lovely week of not going to work (not using my paid vacation for bad weather), but I definitely will curb my usual spending habits in a really huge way, over the rest of this year so that next year, it won’t hurt me economically to miss work due to *climate change* .

So, no spending today or in the near future. :(

Just keeping household bills paid and stashing back extra income to hurdle the next bad weather scenario.

I bought an adorable pink and brown striped sweater for Brittany. She needs it to go out in this weather - our nights are in the teens. I'm looking for a waterproof parka for her, for when it rains and snows.

Cherries! They are probably Peruvian or Chilean, but they are fresh and sweet and delicious.

Some items for craft project. I’m working on in this form.
A couple blouses to go with two new suits I bought for Work
A long black wool coat
A new purse. Well actually three since it comes in a set.

I bought....

a GYM membership (I'm going to the gym daily: walking, bicycling, swimming laps and sitting in the jacuzzi every day -- my new goal is to lose 100# by December)

I bought two pairs of new eyeglasses and an eye exam (I'll get my new glasses and sunglasses by the end of February)


Groceries: Organic eggs, veggies (beets, carrots, fennel, onions and garlic, chick peas, all kinds of stuff), meat, EVOO, sourdough artisan loaf of bread


I paid my annual car insurance and apt insurance

Just the other day I paid the mechanic to fix my car

gasoline

and.... CBD supplies.

I'll stop spending now (lmao :jester: )

Four more huge slabs of ribs, and four packs of double thick pork chops
A new wallet
Bird food for my outdoor birdies
New (to me) refrigerator with an icemaker
White mailbox that I’m going to decoupage

And I’m starting to look for a truck

I bought a new swim suit: pearl grey shorties, with a black & white bralette; and a brand new pair of shoes for work. Got to protect my feet since I stand on them about nine hours daily at work.

– Mary J's album (MP3s): Share My World
– Eye shadow primer
– Combination lock for my locker at the pool
– Vera Wang perfume

— coconut oil for my skin

— groceries (avocados, Szechwan peppercorn, brown-wild rice, water in glass bottles, coffee beans, chocolate, bamboo shoots & water chestnuts, almonds and dates and figs, and some pasture raised chicken)

— a commercial sized fan for those long hot summer days and nights

— I’m browsing the list of books over at Powell’s bookstore. I need something fun to read.

I paid my tax preparer yesterday and I bought a few new bras at Target because I noticed some hook thingy’s on my sports bras were wearing out. Then I went to Best Buy and bought a new screen protector and ear buds so I can listen to music again. The person who helped me did a great job at cleaning all the tiny hairs stuck in my phone and the new screen protector makes my phone look brand new. Best Buy provides great service and product guarantees, btw.

And…, I stopped by a nail salon and bought a basic pedicure. Made my feet feet better.

Bought Today
 

A complete spring go over for my van. She needed some tuning up and a few things and now she is a good as new. $200. plus a year includes grease and oil is a great price for all she needs.

Nothing yet, but I have officially started truck shopping

A FedEx overnight letter for $33 and two USPS Priority Mail packages for $24.
