We picked up the furniture. Remember we had a $1200 budget and spent $1100? Yay, us? Well, after arranging it we decided we wanted another love seat. (Yes, the room is big enough and heaven knows we can always use more seating with our brood.) Hopefully we can get it for the sale price, but best case that’s another $300. Budget blown by at least $200.
BUT, the H is quick to point out, he talked down the price of the truck we just bought by $500. So he says we’re still ahead. *I* say we could be ahead by $500 instead of $300ish, but the upside is the furniture is fantastic. LOVE IT.
My ebay sales are INSANE. I think I shipped eight different packages today. I’m not used to so much action on buy it now items. I usually ship big on Friday and Saturday, so this is odd. And they were smallish packages so I put one big box out by the road and put everything in it. My poor mail man took out piece after piece after piece until he finally got out and took the whole box, LOL. (I expected him to do that anyway.)
I flaked $189 and paid off a medical bill today. YAY. Now I need to schedule *12* appointments. Six for the dentist and six for the pediatrician. (All of the above will be covered at 100% without a copay, so you’d THINK I’d get off my butt and DO IT, but the idea of actually going to those appointments? UGH! LOL.)
In other news, I’m really struggling with keeping the grocery bill down. I know I don’t work as hard at it as I should so the frustration – for now – is with me and not yet to the point where I feel out of control, but it’s still frustration. It still stinks. I need to refocus, but I need the drive to do it first. I’m in a bit of a slump at the moment, but I don’t have to look far to know how lucky I am.
For now, I’ll just focus on that.
