Calories: 1947

Lot of estimating in the above. The birthday dinner was not low in calories, and though I held back a little, neither did I deny myself.

I have lots of leftover food, and today I'm dealing with how to preserve it and use it up. I already froze the shredded cheese (which was ready to expire) and the cake. Guacamole is the next challenge. Looks like freezing is not a good option, but I can eat it on lots of things and even make soup out of it, which, I assume COULD be frozen.

Very thankful the dishwasher works. I've already done one load and it's almost filled again.

The party was a success; the food was a big hit, and DIL liked her gifts as well.

Laundry is really piled up, and I need to get to it. I think it will be my only spending today.

Here is my June recap, as promised:

Vacation/Travel: 490
Home Repair/Maintenance: 360
Clothing: 135
Utilities: 109
Gifts/Charity: 81
Groceries: 54
Phone: 52
Medical/Health: 33
Entertainment: 25
Furnishings/Equipment/Decor: 24
Vet/Pet Supplies: 9
Eating Out: 7
Laundry: 5
Grand Total: 1384
Variables: 101%

Because I switched gears on tracking this month, mortgage & assessment fees are not included. Vacation costs swallowed up a lot of regular costs like groceries, eating out, laundry and gas. So it was kind of an odd month. Unrealistically low.

Well, on to continuing the cleanup!
