Day Seventy-Two

Calories: 1519

I did well on my to-do list yesterday, getting everything done except spending an hour writing. Frown
I also did something not on my list -- I managed to carry the new side table from my car to my third-floor condo all by myself, with the help of a dolly. I also took the big old printer to the car. Next time I go to Goodwill I will drop it off there.

After all that effort, I took a nap. Unusual for me, but it felt good, and it didn't even affect my sleep last night.

When I made the eye appointment, they said they could take me later in the day. So I have got that done. It was $50 (copay) and everything looks good, except that I may have the very beginnings of a cataract. I was cautioned to wear sunglasses more regularly.

My license plate was renewed online and I can expect to get the new sticker in a few weeks. That cost $103.

I made the doctor's appointment, but I can't get in until July 18! My doctor must be on leave, or something. Since it is only an annual checkup, it doesn't matter.

My variables spending is at 22%, but I always do a chunk of spending early in the month, and then it evens out.

Today I need to go grocery shopping, as well as catch up on some housework (vacuuming, dusting, cleaning fish tank). I also have a Pine Cone survey to do. I've done 5 surveys so far this year, which has brought in $15 in snowflakes.

I made some really creative sloppy joe's last night! As I was putting it together, I realized I didn't have nearly enough ketchup. I looked around for anything tomato-y and ended up putting in some cocktail sauce and some steak sauce. Then I found some single-serve packets of ketchup in the fridge that I had saved from fast-food lunches, so I added those, too. It turned out pretty good!

    Oh, I love using up those single packets. My husband is obsessive about never throwing them out, but the clutter drives me nuts. I can't tell you how many times I've stood emptying soy sauce packets into a larger bottle. He even brings jam pods home when they have bagels (with jam?) at work. Personally, I'd let them go, but I've thrown many a pod of apricot jam into a pork dish.
