I've been getting the benefit of free food at work due to several birthdays and Bosses' Day. Granted, it's mostly carbs, but with my new commuting schedule, I appreciate not having to pack food.

This morning I was ready a little earlier than usual and walked to the station rather than wait at home. A train was leaving just as I was arriving. So I could take an even earlier train if I wanted! It might not pay off, though, if there is not a corresponding early train out of the city...

I've started a new "station" book, and returned the other. I've lost interest in getting Kindle books. The ones that are free I've already read or I'm not interested in reading. I've spent too many years getting free reading from the library to pay for it now. I do understand that I can get free Kindle books from the library, but frankly, it's so easy to pick up a book at the station and just give it back when I'm done. Maybe after I work my way through the selection I'll feel differently.

Tomorrow night I am babysitting for my grandsons and my DIL has offered to make dinner (another free meal!) So I will go there straight after work. She has promised she won't be out late, but even so, I could fall asleep on the couch once the kids are in bed. And I might.

I unpacked one more box last night -- and it reminded me that I have to get a toy box. In my apartment, I used built-in bookshelves for the toys, but here I have no such feature. I am thinking I could use the chest I am currently using as a coffee table, and then buy a more traditional coffee table to go with the new couch. I would have to empty the chest of all the board games stored there, but they should be stored in the dining room, anyway, where the table is. I have a bookshelf in the dining room, and all I have to do is empty it of the knick-knacks, which will go ... where? Such is the unpacking life. I will be glad when I get it all sorted out.

My only spending today -- $5 for a $10 Dunkin Donuts coupon from Groupon. I figure I will use it when traveling.
