A Lakeside Lunch, and New Pants

October 20th, 2016 at 02:04 am

I met my friend K. for lunch today. She knew how to get to the lake from the museum (through a tunnel!) so we went and sat lakeside and ate our lunches. It was good to catch up; we hadn't seen each other since last Christmas, I believe. It's amazing how time slips by.

After work I went to Planet Fitness, but first I went to Marshall's to get more workout pants. I don't want to get to the point where I can't go to the gym because I don't have any clean pants.

I make them double as pajama bottoms, so I needed "leisure wear" rather than "fitness wear." It was surprisingly hard to find them. But I did find 4 pairs on the sale rack. I don't think it was really much of a sale, since I paid $90. Ooh. That's $22 a pair. Well, I don't often buy clothes at retail stores, so the prices always amaze me. But resale shops are no good when you're looking for something specific. They only give up their treasures when you're just browsing!

My variables spending is now at 77%, with exactly one week to go.

I have tomorrow off. I'm going to have lunch with friends here in town. And I hope to get a lot of things done. The housework has suffered since I started working. And I have laundry to do again! But most of all I want to sleep without having an alarm wake me! I really don't like that any more!

    I haven't used an alarm clock in years. Hate them, even though I used the radio. The only time I've used one in recent years is when i signed up to work the polls and i have to be there around 5:15 a.m.

    I just really like waking up "naturally," which this time of year is around 7 a.m. with the sunrise.

    Right on track with the variables spending this month! Smile

    Sounds like your spending is fine since you still have a week to go.

    I agree on the thrift shop finds...rarely do I find something I'm really searching for...it usually is a find when I happen across it.

    All my workout pants are at least five+ years old ... but ouch! I'm not looking forward to replacing them at that kind of cost! (several of them are getting to that point where they may need replacing within the next six months or so.)
