I didn't hear from my boss, and I couldn't figure out from the internet whether I had Presidents Day off. So I sent her another email early this morning saying I needed to take the day off, whether it was a holiday or not. Which was true; I had a raging headache. But I also wanted to stay home so that I would not have to use gas. I have enough in the tank to get to work and back tomorrow, and then my budget will reset on Wednesday.
My monthly fee for Planet Fitness hit ($10) so my variables are at 98%. I really ought to adjust the budget so that the PF fee is not a variable -- it is actually a fixed cost, though not a necessity. Maybe I'll do that next month.
Speaking of PF, I went there this morning, after skipping yesterday. I'm starting to feel a relapse -- diet and exercise both -- and I have to be more vigilant. Since I've given away my bigger clothes, I really can't go back.
I took a nap this afternoon and my headache is better, almost completely gone. I just hope the nap doesn't affect getting to sleep tonight.
Once pay day comes, I immediately have two lunches out coming up. On Wednesday I am meeting my professional group, and on Thursday my friend K. As I've said before, I can't keep up my social contacts without eating out, so it's just something I have to budget for. And of course, I do enjoy it.
No mail today, so it looks like I will not get a check before pay day. Thank goodness for the slush fund.
