Aug. 6th, 2006 10:24 pmThis weekend I:
+ Went out with the neighbors, had a great time, good people, lots of drink and food
- Spent far more money than I should have, than I owed, and than I planned
+ Got to see the purple cow on Saturday, and enjoyed the weather
- More money spent (at Busboys and Poets)
+ Went on a heautiful 11-mile bike ride on Saturday! This is long, for me, but I...
+ Am not sore today!
+ Had a great time on the ride and hanging with the friends we rode with
- Yep, more money, although not so much (cheap dinner)
+ Had lunch today with friends I do not see enough
- Right. Spent too much money on food this weekend.
+ Really good social time, seeing a wide variety of friends over the weekend.
+ Finally got my butt over to an optician's to get my eyes checked
- My prescription has changed in both eyes, which means I need both new glasses and new contacts
- Somehow got railroaded into buying contacts from optician
- My medical plan does not cover this optician; spent over $300 there
- Found out when I got home that my medical plan does cover lots of other opticians, and I could have saved at least $150 today if I'd gone somewhere else
+ Had fabulous dinner cooked at home, costing nothing
- Except I broke my blender jar in making dinner, costing $15 or so and a few weeks' wait to replace
+ Talked to the lovely
xatharine
+ At least I found out about the medical/vision plan before I bought the glasses
I meant to go to work this weekend, to make up for the fact that I will be gone Weds-Fri. I did not make it in. I am happy about what I did instead... but... I think I am going to have to get up early, work late, and work hard to try to make up for the missed time. Yes yes, I have vacation time, but there are still all these things that need to be done...
Also, I am aware that there are many people out there on my friends' list and otherwise who are having a much rougher time than I am with my petty griping and +/- lists. I am thinking of you and I hope things go better for you soon. It doesn't stop my petty griping, though.
