Not about my finances -- about my mind!

Yesterday I arrived at work without my lunch. Now you remember I have only $11 till the end of the month, so I couldn't consider buying lunch. But using gas to go home is also a draw on my resources. Well, I went home for lunch, figuring it was the lesser of two evils. At the end of the day I start changing to go to the gym -- no shoes. And here I had a second chance to get them at lunch, but didn't notice them sitting right on the living room floor. So I skipped the gym rather than make ANOTHER trip.

This morning I have to take my car to get the oil changed. (I have a free coupon). I must do it, because it's overdue, and because I could get a call from my son any time now that the baby is on the way, and then I will be jumping in the car and driving 10 hours to Kansas City.

So I made an appointment to drop it off at 7:45 a.m. This morning I get out of the shower, get dressed, look at the clock and think, "Omigosh, it's time to go!" I jump in the car, I'm on the road, and then I notice -- I'm an hour ahead of myself.

I can't believe this. So I go to Wal-Mart so as not to make it a totally wasted trip. Where is my brain?

I made a discovery at Wal-Mart. One of the things I needed to get was some more Activia yogurt. I saw a product in the same area called Bio Salud. It's not yogurt, just little bottles of liquid that carry the live bacteria. They were only .88 for five, as apposed to $1.88 for 4 Activia. Of course, it is not really a food item, either, but the reason I am buying Activia is for the bacteria. I took my dose as soon as I came home, and it tasted good!

I also bought a can of tuna. My cat gets a little bit every morning and evening and I was running low. My total spending was $2.38. So I have between $8 and $9 left.

Meals yesterday:

Breakfast: English muffins, tomato juice
Snack: gingersnaps, coffee
Lunch: Lean Cuisine (chicken pecan w/rice & peapods), bread, butter & jelly.
