On the money front ...

July 18th, 2011 at 02:47 pm


nothing is going on! I've spent so far: $25.01 on gas (didn't have enough to make it to Sam's Club for a fill-up and I have to use a $10 gas card from CVS next), $84.52 at Aldi's on groceries for most of the week, and $14.60 for a bike lock at Sears Hardware (save $1.50).

My grandmother is here visiting. She's 91 and heat susceptible, so our fun has been comprised of going to the mall twice when it's been really hot, going to the park on a nice day, working LOTS of puzzles (all of which I've purchased on clearance, $1.34 and $2.99 at Michael's clearance last week), watching some movies, and reading. I imagine this is what summers were like for lots of people, just "hanging out" - my kids have really adjsuted well to this pace. I might have shared that this is the summer of nothing but the pool, and two weeks of Vacation Bible School. No running from class to class or camp to camp. We're all generally happier and calmer and less stressed.

The tenant had to to skip her rent payment, due to delay in pay because she started a new job. I can't complain too much because she at least told us in advance, and since I threatened her (nicely as I could) with a five-day last August, she's been pretty close to perfect with her pay schedule. This just meant that I didn't pay bills ahead of time.

Hope everyone is having a good summer!

    What is a five day?

    A notice that the tenant has five days to pay the owed rent, or the eviction process will begin. Smile
