I've started Christmas shopping on Amazon. So far I've purchased about $200 worth of stuff for my kids and grandkids, but I've spent nothing. Love that Discover Cashback Bonus! I signed up for the $5 promotion mentioned in other posts, but I'm not sure I got it. Perhaps it can't be used in conjunction with the Cashback Bonus? Oh well, I'm not finished shopping yet, and the bonus money will run out soon, so I think I'll still get to use it.

The only spending I logged yesterday is $1.50 for a load of laundry.

My leg is feeling better today, but I will still go to the doctor, just to discuss what's happening with my joints. I think it's time to get it on record, even if the ultimate solution (surgery)is years away.

I'm trying very hard these days to practice gratitude. Yesterday I was grateful for the warm weather. I can't do that today! But today I'm grateful that the pain has lessened. I'm grateful that my doctor schedules evening appointments. And of course I'm grateful that I've done some awesome Christmas shopping without spending any money!
