Life Goes On

August 7th, 2015 at 12:25 pm

Everything pretty much stopped for me yesterday, but today I am back in the swing of things.

With the huge vet bills, I have spent 90% of my variables budget! Obviously, I am not going to be able to come in under budget this month; I'll just have to do the best I can. Actually, with the money I've saved coming in under budget in the last five months, I can spend an extra $1000 this month and still not be off-track.

My kids invited me over for pizza and games last night, which cheered me up a lot. My grandsons were so sweet, with hugs and so much compassion.

Today we are all going to the zoo. It is a free zoo, but parking is expensive. We'll have to take two cars, too.

And tomorrow I am probably going to drive down to see my BFF. We'll just make it a low-spend weekend.

    I was at the free zoo last week and in retrospect feel that the parking was well worth it. We also walked the Boardwalk (so pretty!). Have fun!

    The compassion of a child is so earnest.

    At least you have the savings from the past few months to fall back on. Be gentle to yourself and enjoy your weekend with your family and BFF.
