Today I scored 91% on the daily dozen.
Mainly lost points due to only walking 30 minutes.
I also ate chocolate. Mainly because I had some left from yesterday's purchase.
Must only buy single serving sizes. Must not keep extras in house...
I finished listening to the book this morning on the way to work. After work I stopped at the library and picked up the hard copy. I plan on taking notes on it tomorrow while I wait for DH's procedure to finish.
I tried a cup of water with ginger and a bit of honey tonight. Not too bad. I might buy some ginger to keep at work in case I feel one of my bad headaches coming on.
Someone told me that possibly they *could* be migraines, even though they don't last more than 6 or 7 hours (the worst part at least) and are helped by sleep, dark and a cold cloth.

I'm kind of looking forward tomorrow - most of the day I have off from work. In the morning accompanying DH to his appointment, then go to work for two hours, then go to my own doctor appointment (getting my iron retested.)
I'm really curious to see what the retest is going to show. I still am not a ball of engergy, but I do feel like I have a little more energy than I did before.

DH found a car he thought he wanted (winter delivery car) in Minneapolis. He decided since he was going to take Wednesday night off from work anyway (knowing he was going to need to be near a toilet ...) he decided to drive out there to check the car out.
So, this morning around 4 a.m. he headed out. He hadn't asked me to get cash out for it, and was bemoaning how frustrated he felt not having cash on hand to just go buy a car if he found one.
I told him I'd be okay with taking out a certain amount of cash that was already budgeted for car replacement to keep in the house. It wouldn't affect our interest earnings *that* much.
He seemed happy with that.
However, we still had to figure out how he was going to pay for the car.
I didn't want him to put it on our daily use card, because that would put us close to 60% utilization. So I tried to set up the new Chase card which actually has a higher limit than our Citi card. ???
The phone activation system didn't recognize the card number. The website activation didn't recognize the card number. Finally, I called the customer service number and got the car activated.
DH got on the road. He got back home about 6 p.m. and told me that he ended up NOT getting the car.
Sigh. (of relief partially ... wasn't looking forward to driving to Minneapolis and back on Sunday ...)
So, he's back on the hunt.
Friday I'll probably go ahead and take out the balance of the car fund to help alleviate DH's frustration.
It's a small thing to compromise on.

It seems a bit strange to need cash on hand to buy a new car...wouldn't he be able to get it out of the bank if and when he decided to purchase one? Depending on how much, that could be a lot of cash to have around the house! My downstairs neighbor keeps a ton of cash and it makes me very nervous.

Tires and front wheel drive can make a difference but we all agree to disagree about good transportation. Even our transit buses slide down the hills sideway...talk about scary.

Snafu - mostly looking at Subarus with something differential?
Vas - I sure hope you're right - that the longer I'm eating healthier the less headaches!
CCF - for what he's looking for and the price range, there really isn't much in the two hour radius. He was also looking at Chicago...
