I went online at lunch and purchased silk long underwear. I have one pair that I've had for over ten years and they still look great. I've been wanting to buy some since before Christmas because my office at work is so cold and I'm having trouble regulating my body temp. It was sort of a want, but also a need. The total came to 90.75 and that was with everything on sale. I bought two pairs and two turtlenecks. I feel guilty about spending that amount of money right now, even if it was a good deal. But I'm also tired of feeling like a popsicle every day by 10:00. I'll see how they fit and if they work out.

I've come to the conclusion that I am going to return the pair of shoes that I really like. I have to admit to myself that they are a size ten and I am really a 10.5. Sigh. I'm procrastinating a bit on getting them boxed up...like the shoe fairy will come some night, wave her wand and make it all better. Not to be.

On other fronts, we also made dinner in the crock pot. Spaghetti and our .59 per pound pasta; the pasta wasnt great, but we will eat it. I also brought my lunch and snacks to work but ended up buying a Pepsi and a water from the machine for a total of 1.65.

Tomorrow evennig DH and I both have eye exams. There was a coupon in the Sunday paper for $39. Its the eye doctor that he has already been to, so we know he's good. My insurance doesnt cover eye exams, so this seems like a good alternative.

Not much else going on with money right now. In March, we are going to have some travel costs that I am budgetting for. Things are quieting down re spending. I know in a couple of weeks I am going to need to order more supplements...hate the huge pricetag on these, but can say I am feeling a bit better overall. I think part of the reason I got over the crud so quickly is because of some of the things I was taking. I'm hearing stories about people who have been sick for weeks, going on months. Whatever is going around is nasty stuff.
