Variables - 101%
The home repair cost was, of course, the balance due on the refinishing of the table. The gifts were mostly birthday gifts. Fees included a $115 delivery fee for the table. I also replenished my tollway pass and resubscribed to AARP. F/E/D was mostly gifts to myself, an antique soup tureen and porcelain mugs. Gas -- higher than usual -- no surprise there. Pet supplies - new lights for the aquarium. Clothing - an emergency sleep sweater. Nothing else was out of whack. Groceries were amazingly low! I really forced myself to eat what was in the freezer.
Yesterday I thought variables were at 98%, but I had forgotten to log a gift purchase. But I am not unhappy with 101%. The big payment for the table refinishing came out of savings, of course.
