Today I'm going to spend $45 to pick up my Lenox clock. The timepiece had to be replaced. While I don't particularly need another clock -- I seem to have a lot of them -- this one is very attractive and small enough to fit in anywhere. And I'm thinking about giving it to my DIL for her birthday.
Picking it up will mean a little extra walking, too. I'm glad the weather is pretty nice today.
I got my ComEd bill and it is up by $11. My kilowatt usage is up. Perhaps because I spent more time at home -- or maybe just turning on more lights against the darkness? Anyway, my combined gas & electric is under $50, which is right where I want it to be.
I had oatmeal in my office for breakfast and brought in soup to have for lunch. I've been doing well at avoiding fast food.
However, on Friday I have a "dinner date" in Naperville -- will meet up with the woman who is turning over the Treasurer's duties to me on our professional organization's board. It is an Italian restaurant I've been to before -- it can be pricey -- but I think I can get an appetizer or salad and be okay.
I am among those still waiting for the first 2013 paycheck. I don't get paid until Tuesday. I am hoping to see not too great a change, but I will deal with whatever it is.
My clock is ready
