Last week ended up not being a good one, financially, for us.
I caught a bad cold during our vacation and am still not feeling well. It must be impacting my inner ear, because I am dizzy quite a bit and just feel like I am in a fog. I have had a hard time focusing at work because of it, haven't felt like blogging, and have not stayed on top of finances like I normally do. I hate feeling like this- sortof like your watching your life remotely. weird.
We didn't food shop, which meant there wasn't much to choose from- and the hub didn't cook all week- so each night- dinner was a last minute decision, which meant lots of eating out.
Meals were definitely more costly than normal.
Then, there were several purchases that have hit the VISA account- that I have in sub-accounts that I need to transfer over. Birthday gifts, winter clothes for the hub, etc.
We definitely haven't stuck to the normal budget- I just haven't had the focus to police spending this past week.
My daughter recommended taking decongestant allergy meds- so I am doing that this weekend to see if the dizziness goes away. If not, I will have to go to the Dr.
On the upside, my son and his family are in town for the birthdays. His daughters 6th birthday party is today. All my kids will be there, so I will be a smiling momma. Last night was my other granddaughter's party (she turned 8). You know I don't feel well when the kids are all together and I am ready to leave after an hour.
We don't need to grocery shop for the week ahead. On Tuesday we leave for my job's planning retreat where all meals will be paid for. We are going to stay at a nice resort- it should be an interesting, fun week.
Been sick

Enjoy visits and birthday celebrations but leave when you're tired. Labor Day should be a restful day...don't you think
