This is the third time I've tried to make this entry! The last two times -- yesterday -- they just went off into cyberspace, so I just HOPE this is a go!
I finished up the month of October in pretty good shape -- until my dog had to have surgery (a lipoma opened up and became infected). That was $560. My other spending was under my goal of $600. That included a plane ticket, gifts for two birthdays and a new baby, and four new pairs of pants (but one from a thrift shop). So I'm pretty happy. Now I will have to tighten my belt even more, because not only do I have to pay back my emergency fund, I have two road trips coming up -- one for my grandson's first birthday and one for Thanksgiving.
Back to my dog -- I am just thrilled at the outcome of his surgery. He is 13 years old and I was prepared to have to put him down. (And cried buckets of tears before taking him to the vet.) Now he is frisky and happy again and the wound site is healing well. I feel blessed.
Third try's the charm?
