Yesterday I was heading out to the gym when my car refused to go along with me. The battery was dead. I called AAA. It was about two hours before they could get to me, so I was glad this happened at home, and not somewhere I'd have to find a place to shelter. Once the technician arrived, he tested the battery and advised me to get a new one. He was able to sell me one on the spot. It was $132. It might not have been the most frugal thing to do, but I was glad to get it taken care of right away.
I am taking the cost out of savings, since it is clearly an EF kind of thing.
I carried on with my day, going to the gym, and then to PetSmart, where I bought a $5 "kitty" to go in the Florida Christmas box. Sometime today I need to close that up and get it to the post office.
Then I went to Aldi and spent $39 on groceries.
DIL's plans fell apart last night, so I didn't have to babysit. I was just as glad. I got into my pajamas and read.
I pulled a container out of the freezer last night, and it appears to be shredded chicken. I don't know what to do with it. I already have chicken chili and chicken barbecue, and I am kind of out of ideas. Maybe chicken pot pie, but that would mean going back to the store for more ingredients, and I'd really rather use it up somehow with what I have on hand.
I signed up for a last-minute mystery shop today, and it has to be done before 10:30 a.m., so I'm off.
