August has barely started and we are already behind the curve budget-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ve paid for two unplanned home maintenance tasks, both of which were necessary and fairly priced, but still a drain on resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jett needed almost $1,400 of dental surgery. Again, necessary but not covered by insurance so we’re out of pocket for the full amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I got a notice today that we were charged almost $80 for a subscription to The Atlantic. Fortunately, I was able to cancel it immediately and did receive confirmation of refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’re limited in the “fun” things we could do this month but as it happens, there are very few that we’d want to pay for anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We had tacos for lunch. Found a package of chopped, flavored tofu in the pantry; Ron heated it in the big frying pan. Later I steamed a bunch of swiss chard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron did a shop but couldn’t find ground Major Dix so I went to BigY and brought home two 10 ounce packages on sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
