It was not a big spending month, though I did exceed my variables by a little. Food was the main event, both groceries and eating out higher than usual. I bought some supplies on Amazon, and I had some medical expenses. The main one was a visit to Immediate Care, where I got an x-ray. I had fallen earlier in the day -- just tripped over uneven pavement. There were no fractures; however, I am still quite sore from the soft tissue damage.
Entertainment included admission to three volleyball games in which GS2 was a player. Clothing included a watch that I ordered from Amazon. I have found I don't really like always having to look at my phone to see the time.
BFF is coming today. She will stay until Sunday, and then we will go down to her place for a few days. Here, we are going to do some errands -- taking the car to have the battery checked, going to Home Depot, going to the grocery store. At her place, we are going to meet up with an old friend -- actually the person who introduced us to each other. I will come home on the train, not sure which day yet.
About the car -- I tried to start it in order to move it for street sweeping, and nothing happened. I called AAA and they jumped the battery, but advised I get it checked out. I had to reinstate my car insurance to make this happen -- even though I won't drive, I must have insurance if anybody drives it. Luckily, I don't have to pay anything until January, by which time -- I HOPE -- I will know whether I will ever have a license again.
I can't remember if I mentioned this before, but our building's boiler went kaput this month, and I had a few weeks of no heat. It wasn't particularly cold, so that was lucky. It has now been replaced, and the heat is working again. There has been no mention of what this might cost the homeowners. Stay tuned.
