Thank you for your supportive comments yesterday. Today I'm feeling better. All is not lost just because winter comes each year!
I did a little grocery shopping last night ($20) and bought some little gifts for my grandson's birthday ($32). This morning I bought my train pass, at the new reduced cost of $79!
I checked my Discover card and I've reached the $2000 mark for this month, so it is no more spending until October. I WILL be returning the Sue Grafton CD to Cracker Barrel before week's end, which will prompt a refund on the card, but there is enough in pending charges to make up for it.
I will welcome the austerity of this coming week!
My grandson's birthday party is on Saturday, but my spending for that is done. So I'm just looking forward to a nice, quiet week.
The first week of October will be busy. I am going to a one-day conference, and will attend a board dinner for the speakers the night before. Then I am supposed to head up to my brother's house for his birthday on the weekend. That has not been confirmed yet, but it is something I really should do, if their plans allow.
Last night one of my co-workers was threatened with a knife when she went to look at a house to buy. The renter was apparently being evicted. She had quite a scare and doesn't feel safe now, since she filed a police report and her name is out there. I feel for her, and I hope the guy is locked up soon, for her peace of mind!

That does sound quite scary for your coworker!
