Grand Total                 2125

The large total in gifts includes $400 in donations to my grandsons' college funds.

As has been the case recently, grocery and eating out are both higher than they used to be. Fallout from my life without a car. Or without a license. I do have a car!

Medical includes $50 for the heart monitor I wore several months ago. I am still waiting for other medical bills to appear. I see a couple of processed claims on my Medicare Advantage website, but I have not been billed for them.

The best part about this month's spending is that there was none for fares! My RideFree card is getting a workout and it is making a difference.

Oh, and I should point out that the entertainment total includes my participation in the family football pool. But I have won twice -- both times splitting the pot with others, but, hey, much better than usual!
