It's early, but I don't plan to eat anything else today, so I'll report in and make it an obligation!

Today I sent $50 to the college I retired from -- since I was in development myself, I really sympathize with their fundraising efforts -- and the college needs support. I also renewed my AARP membership for $13. Supposedly they will send me a free day bag.

Variables spending is at 43%. Tomorrow I have a dentist's appointment, and I'm going out to lunch with friends. If the dentist bill is high, I won't count it as a variable; it will come out of the EF. But it shouldn't be as bad as last time; I won't get x-rays this time.

Tomorrow I will also go to the credit union and get a cashier's check for $15K to put in the new Chase account. And I will go to the College and have them change my direct deposit to the Chase account. I have already signed up for paperless invoicing and bill pay, so I will have met all the requirements for the $500 bonus.

I took a 40-minute walk today to the mailbox and then on to the lake shore. It was brisk, but not cold. Tomorrow it is supposed to be quite warm. My radiators are already shut off. I'm a little cold, but I'm wearing double layers, and I keep moving around, so I'm doing okay. Soon I'll be complaining that I'm too hot!

    You are doing really well with your diet! Congrats.

    What do the funds raised go to at the college? Scholarships?

    I designated my gift to the Annual Fund, which goes to operational expenses. As an insider, I know that is what they need most right now. That said, the college raises a lot of money for scholarships and most of the students get some kind of scholarship aid.

    Thanks! As a parent with a college student, the cost colleges incur and how they impact tuition and housing are interesting to me. Smile

    CB, does your dentist offer a senior's discount? DH mentioned it to his dentist and was surprised they offer a discount to patients over 50.

    Great job! Have you been losing weight? Or just toning?
