1. We filled out my daughter’s applications for graduate school. Not a frugal task in and of itself, but we do keep an eye on both quality education and her graduating debt free. We spent time researching a lot of options and are hopeful we are making the best choices.
2. I repotted a plant and winterized another. (Using supplies I already had on hand.)
3. I printed and organized my Christmas season “to do” binder to keep myself on track.
4. I used our drying rack whenever possible for hanging laundry.
5. We ate at home every meal and as the month comes to a close I am excited to say we did a pretty good job of sticking to our monthly menu.
6. I checked a couple of books out from the library.
Doesn’t look like so much when I look at it....but I don’t think I did much spending or much out of the house so I suppose I’ll call it a win.
On the not so frugal front, but life update — I found out I have glaucoma — a closure variant that has quite possibly been causing the pain that my doctor thought was migraines. I’ll be having eye surgery on the first eye tomorrow. I don’t have a clue what my out of pocket expenses will be, but I honestly don’t care. I’ve been in pain for almost 10 months at some level or another on a daily basis so if this offers any relief at all the costs will be worth it.
I'm sorry you have to have eye surgery, but I'm very glad they are finding out what the issue is. You will feel much better, I'm sure, which will be a relief.
