1. Carey has begun painting the house exterior. The paint is not cheap, but I can't even begin to guess how much more it would cost to hire it out. Any job, big or small, Carey is a whiz to have around!
2. I have been pretty successful at taking my lunch to work with me the past couple of weeks. Cheaper, yes. But also it means I have more time to read since there is no driving time required. Which, bonus, means I'm also not using as much gasoline. :)
3. Free shipping this week on the meal subscription. Yay!
4. No impulse purchases this week. I have some things in my Amazon cart, but they are pretty much necessities that have been in there for at least a week waiting for a dire need to hit the buy button and get them on their way.
5. Taking a mental health day today, and a mini getaway. Today we are driving to the coast just to get out of the house and away from the office. As 'vacations' go, it will be very frugal.
A mental health day is a very wise choice!
