Well, I made it a short day at work, because I went without my reading glasses. Whoops! I didn't realize how very much I need them. I couldn't see anything on the computer. After struggling for an hour, I went to the gift shop to see if they had reading glasses. They didn't, but a very, very nice clerk loaned me a magnifying glass, which helped a little.
I managed to work 3 1/2 hours and finish one profile, and then I called it a day. I only have 14 1/2 hours to go on my contract, so I'm pretty sure I'll finish up next week. Realizing this, I decided to go ahead and renew my son's family membership while I could still get the discount. That will be a Christmas present (their current membership expires on 12/31.) It was $125 with my discount.
There was leftover food from a meeting this morning, so I got a free mini-bagel with schmear, some grapes, strawberries and melon. Also Starbucks coffee. I also brought home some fortune cookies in cute little boxes that were left over from an event. I'll give those to my grandsons.
Variables spending has now bounced up to 96%. I think I can successfully eat out of my pantry/freezer till payday, but I will probably have to fill up the tank again before Wednesday. And I'll have to buy cat food; at least a few cans. So it may be that getting in under 100% will be impossible. Still, I will try to come in as low as I can.

If the unplanned Museum membership is actually a gift for December, can it be considered art of Christmas gifting? If it's on CC it won't post until at least November billing. you are disciplined so I wonder if you would find it acceptable to rotate through 3 cards based on their 'closing ' dates? I believe you can ask for specific dates to align with income. You eliminate the interest or fee factor and the billing due date can give you as much as 30 days to manipulate through income cycles. Easy peasy to show on cell's calendar and just repeats. If you don't mind choosing cards with rebates, there is a small amount of cash after a year. I'm quite surprised how much 5% rebate on gas adds by year end.
