My weekend was taken over by a cold virus. I've been sucking down vitamin c ever since it hit.

I put 400+ miles on my car this weekend. It desperately needs an oil change and tire rotation. Hopefully I can get that taken care of this week.

Spent about $25 at Target on Saturday, but it was paid for with a gift card, so free money.
Post office run on Saturday, $13.
Dinner courtesy of my boyfriend on Saturday night.

Today, $25 on craft supplies for a Mother's Day project. $27 for dinner for two. I didn't buy my sister's groceries (she did), which was hard for me to do, but necessary.

Spending forecast for this week: mostly cloudy. Workout buddy is coming over tomorrow night, hopefully I can convince her to eat dinner at my house for free instead of going out. Tuesday, clear. Wednesday, sunshine with some clouds, a friend may ask me to have a drink with her to celebrate her birthday. Thursday, cloudy, attending a concert with friends which will surely be prefaced by food and drink. Friday, partly cloudy, may have to attend a birthday party at a restaurant.

No wonder I am overweight and blowing my budget!

I've been thinking a lot about the housing situation, and I haven't been listening to my instincts. The landlords of the big beautiful place make me feel uncomfortable, and they are putting more restrictions on us before we even accept the place (we can't put up window coverings in half of the rooms...what???). I have to listen to my gut and not take the place. If I'm not comfortable now, I surely won't be once I am living there! And so the search continues.
