What Three Things Did You Do Today?

You don't know me, but many hugs to you Debby. I cannot imagine the pain that you endure. I was going to say that I played mediator at work, smoothing co-worker's ruffled feelings. I had a great day seeing my co-workers. My dog had cancer surgery and I spent the past two weeks working from home. I really enjoy the days when I go to the office. I had a great heart to heart talk with my manager. It was a special and rare interaction and I treasured it. It sounds like my whole life is my job :-) I really love what I do for money and for that I am thankful.

What Three Things Do You Think You Splurge On
Q

1) Pet. A lot depends on what you consider a "splurge". I consider it something you do or have that you don't really need to survive. Something you could easily get along without. I don't consider vet bills a splurge, I consider them required for responsible pet ownership, however pet ownership is a splurge. 2) DSL internet. Although many would argue they couldn't live without the internet, I'd suggest they could. There's free internet available but I do enough research that I recover the cost of a lot of my internet cost so the splurge isn't that great. 3) Bottled water and tea. I have problems with this one, since technically it's a "splurge", but OTOH, I generally save way more by carrying it with me so I don't splurge on beverages when I'm out and about. So 10ÃÂ¢ a bottle for spring water often saves more than the cost. That wouldn't really be a splurge. Probably should be considered an investment yielding dividends! Given that a couple purchases, sometimes even one purchased beverage somewhere can offset a month's worth of spring water or more. On second thought, I'm striking that one. That *is* a money saver. 3) Occasional meal out. I don't do the fancy meals out. $10 is usually going to include meal (unless I make the 5 disappointments mistake! LOL) and tip since I often forgo a fountain beverage unless it's at the buffet where I get coffee, tea, milk and pop or other drinks all for one price should I so choose. Yeah, that's more of a splurge by definition than the spring water. When it comes down to it, cars, even electricity, computers, cell phones, TVs, ipods, etc, etc are all splurges for most people. Hiring people to do things is usually a splurge too.

I polished a couple more pieces of silver -- hands will only permit a little at a time. I played with the dog, who came home from the groomer somewhat cowed -- not his usual happy "Admire Me" attitude. I may try to nap a little -- always difficult for me unless I'm really, really sick.

1) bake 2) buy the turkeys (we're doing two small ones) and a few other things 3) pack up all of my lotion/soap/etc making supplies from the small multi-purpose room that is off of our dining room (we call it the cozy room because it's so small) so that it can be used to set up an extra (small) dining table to seat a few extra people. I did schedule a vacation day on Wednesday next week, so I can have a little prep time. I always find it really difficult to prepare for a holiday that doesn't have a free day ahead of time (meaning a non-Sunday or Monday holiday).

Working on throwing out all the junk in my youngest's closet. I asked him to clean it out on his next visit, and he told me just to throw everything out. These are boxes he packed up and stored in his closet after college. So today I threw out all sorts of class notes, outdated textbooks, notebooks. The recycle bin is full enough after this huge box of books and notes, so I will wait till after garbage day to clean out the next box.

Also plan to hit the grocery store for our DDs visit tomorrow with our two young grandsons.

And then even more laundry, and making a batch of Chex Mix for the visit too.

I rode my bike to work, worked, and rode back home. Then I worked in the yard for a while.

Now, it's shower time. :)

Did laundry, cleaned bathrooms, mowed the lawn, cleaned out the frosted bean plants, helped a friend with an accounting problem, and watched Revenge (recorded last night). No wonder I am tired tonight.
