Ok my bad!!! The deposit we put down was $400 not $800. Gee nothing like doubling figures.
The good news is I have the $400 plus $14 extra! It is good to be reminded about our change jar fund. We had always dumped change in one account all our married lives. That paid for our 20 year trip. Duh!!! Hubby asked last night hadn't I deposited in there recently and a couple times since Feb. Why yes I had!!!! Was I sure I had not stashed any tip cash anywhere. Hmmmm. Go look!! Why yes there was some stashed in one of my two fav hiding places.
Add today's tips, the change jar account and my stashed tips , the $37 I had and we totalled $414. So deposit covered. Still will get insurance reimbursement in the next month or so . Cool!!
However we decided too raise the goal. Impossible is not in my vocabulary. Difficult is though. So shoot big and be happy with the original goal if that is the best we can do.
I decided I needed a desk lamp to avoid so many overhead bulbs going on. The lamp I put there was way too big for the tiny desk. Well it just so happens the survey company paid me recently in an online walmart gift card. I picked out an inexpensive one. $1.28 of it came out of my pocket. I figure it will pay for its self quickly
All meals from home.
I am doing lots of extra running for my mom daily with her being laid up. However I will gladly spend more on gas to help her.
We had previous plans with another couple too go out this weekend. I looked at our area events and found some fun free stuff going on. We will also be having lunch at a place near by having a 2 for 1 special. Since this was previously planned we don't want too back out. We are just making it more frugal. We plan for this too be our last time in a restaurant until Feb!!
It was really cool this morning and last night. Left the windows open. Closed them and all drapes before I left. Temp hit the 80's but it stayed 68 in the house.We have lots of floor to ceiling windows so pulling the curtains really helps. I opened them when we all got home to let the light in. I can't tell you how much I detest having a dark house. However it stopped the central air from being needed. Warm again tomorrow so I will do the same. I figure it all helps
After work I spent time in two different nursing homes. I bring my littlest dog. Wow he sure is a magnet and loves the attention! A really nice man asked if we could please come down too his wife's room. That poor woman had a broken back, neck and collar bone. She wanted the dog right up in the bed with her. Since he is 6 lbs and calm it seemed ok. I didn't think he wanted to go home. He snuggled right up too her after a few kisses. So cute! He is such a little ham.
Dishwasher on air dry as usual.
Dinner plan for tomorrow as Fri is my " I am tired after work. Let's go out to eat day".
Oldest son changed some lights around downstairs do there was more lighting where needed so they could avoid turning so many on.
The youngest got his shower down too about 20 min from his normal 30. Hey it is better than 30. His brother told him he timed him LOL! Got to live it when Mr energy waster is the energy police today
We have a dripping faucet on the too Do list.
