Still had a funky stomach today. Too much fiber I think. That's what happens when you try to eat right, your system rebels

Goals for Nov are

1. Spend $100 on clothes. I need a new coat, and a hat to warm my ears and a smaller pair of jeans, but don't have to have the jeans right now, so unless I find a good deal on a coat and hat I probably won't get the jeans just yet.

2. Only spend $450 for monthly basics - groceries, gas, hbas etc

3. Walk for at least 30 min a day for at least 20 days. Since the days are shorter there's not going to be enough time for my normal 55 min walk.

4. Save $1000 over my 401K investment

5. Get my shower redone and paid for

6. Put $100 more in my cash reserve fund.

7. Only eat at fast foods 4 times and only eat at restaurants 5 times this month.

My networth decreased by 1.33% in Oct even though I added to my 401K. But there's still two months left in which to meet my yearly goal so there's still hope the stock market will tick up and help me out before the end of the year.

My mom went in town today and was exhausted when she got home, my dad was at a friends house so she called to see if I would go to dinner with her. Since I hadn't started dinner yet, I said yes. We went to Rosie's Diner and had a hamburger. Spent $7.00

Total spent so far this month = $7.00

Finished reading the library book The Return of Nightfall by Mickey Zucker Reichert. Sci Fi. Pretty Good.

I refunded half the purchase price to the woman who bought the book with the swear words inked out. Still don't understand why my mom would do that, but at least it ended ok.
