April Recap

April 30th, 2021 at 07:56 pm

This is the last day of April, but I won't do any spending today, so I totalled up my spending for the month:

Housing: $795

Car Repair/Maintenance: $250

Vet/Pet Supplies: $212

Utilities: $186

Home Repair/Maintenance: $142

Groceries: $129

Furnishings/Equipment/Decor: $88

Medical/Health: $73

Phone: $52

Eating Out/Takeout: $48

Fees/Services: $40

Gas: $23

Gifts/Charity: $20

Entertainment: $16

Laundry: $16

Personal: $6

Household Supplies: $3

Vacation/Travel: $1

Grand Total: $2101

Variables: 113%

 

Car repair was the $250 deductible to have the windshield replaced.

Pet supplies were cat food, dry and wet, three bags of fluids, 12 needles, 3 bags of cat litter pellets and 6 bags of cat litter pads (for Breeze system).  Iggy was rather expensive this month, but I'm glad he's still around.

Home repair was the replacement/adjustment of locks and new keys.

Furnishings/Equipment/Decor - two phone chargers, some secondhand kitchen stuff, organizers.

Medical/Health - Shingles shot and my medical premium

Fees/Services - Replenishment of my tollway pass

Nothing else really needs explaining -- except the $1 for travel.  That was a tip on my short Uber ride trial.  The ride itself came out of a debit card account that has already been logged.  I saw afterwards that I could have put the tip on my Uber account, but not until I was already handing him the cash.

 

I was surprised this morning by a call from the locksmith.  The technician who was sent to my house on Wednesday has tested positive for COVID.  I wasn't too concerned, since I am fully vaccinated, but with my trip coming up so soon I was a little worried about possible transmission.  I messaged my doctor and he recommended getting a pretravel test at Immediate Care.  But he was pretty sure there was little likelihood I have the disease.

I'm going to do that tomorrow.

    Perhaps we can encourage vaccinations by requesting that any service people sent to our homes be vaccinated.

    Not implying you should have - I never would have thought of it - but as vaccines become available, I think we have the right to protect ourselves.

    I think we need to do anything we can to encourage vaccinations!

    Good luck with the COVID test. I hope you are ok. I had to do that last month when one of my co-workers ended up with the virus.

    I am very glad to see that Iggy is still around.
