We cleaned out the car (all but the trunk, because it started to rain) today and I found 38 cents so that went into the coin jar, allocated to the laptop fund. Hopefully the weather will break tomorrow so we can finish it. I've been waiting for a clear, sunny day so that I can use the tree sap remover to take some sap off the car. It's bugging me, but not enough to stand in the rain and chill while taking it off.
I forgot that the storage autopay comes out this week when I did all the bills earlier, so that $204 I had left is going to be more like $64, plus the $49 in cash until Friday. That's okay, though, I don't foresee me buying anything but milk until Friday anyway, and maybe not even that. What I have might last.
Okay, so with the grocery budget tight this month so that I can pay off the MC and still have the money needed for medical, I have got to stick to my meal plans. I've made them up for tomorrow and Wednesday.
