Just completed another walk to the store. (It's about 30 minutes each way, so it's a big one.) I left earlier in the morning, and the day is cooler, so it was more comfortable than yesterday. And my foot doesn't hurt once I get going. It's after I've rested that my heel really hurts.
I spent $7 and got parchment paper, brown sugar, corn muffin mix, and a peach.
I did not find a single coin, or anything cool by the dumpsters, which is a disappointment!
Later today I'll make a Tex-Mex casserole. It's basically shredded chicken, peppers, salsa and cheddar cheese, topped with corn muffin mix and baked. I may call my kids to get some help eating it!
I have not been running the air conditioning at night. I sleep under a big ceiling fan, which keeps me comfortable. But I have been turning it on when I get up. Today I didn't. We'll see how long I hold out. So far it feels pretty good, and I like to open the windows and get fresh air.
Budget is now 55% spent. Paying for the window washing will change that. It is $5 for a small pane, and $8 for a large pane. I am guessing they will count each window as two panes. I think it will cost about $100. Which is fine with me; I'm very excited to be getting this done!
Another Walk Done

What a lovely place we have here at the savingadvice blogs where we can say such things and know that there are people reading along who understand. Yesterday on my way home from the store (by car) I drove through the alleys for a bit of what I call "alley shopping". But I didn't "buy" anything.

I have had two bouts with plantar fasciitis and the PT always tells me stretch those calves more, point that heel not your toes!
