Well, it was what it was. Home repair skyrocketed. Eating out was higher than it's been any time since the pandemic began. It was my birthday month, so I bought myself a new lamp, a pair of booties, and some new bras.

I hope September will be better. The good news -- I paid off my car, and I still have a $1000+ balance in savings. And also, there is that amazing $33 on groceries!

I won't get a technician to look at my dishwasher until Friday. Then it will be a $109 service fee, whatever is wrong.

I washed a sink full of dishes by hand this morning.

Later today, I'll pick up a new book on hold at the library. Tomorrow, I'm driving to Indiana to meet BFF in the middle for lunch.
