Damn, I need new shoes AND tires

I have broken 2 pairs of shoes in one week. 1 pair was just an inexpensive pair of sandals that I'm sure I got from Payless years ago since that is where I buy all my sandals. The other pair was a pair of black, velvet flats that I've had for YEARS. I will wait to replace the sandals--after all, I've got plenty of other Payless sandals to wear--but I do need to buy another pair of leather black pumps for work. I gotta do it soon b/c I want to wear them to court next week, too.

Today S is supposed to be buying me 2 new tires. NTB wanted to sell me some for $125 and S says he got Discount Tires to beat their price, at $100 and change. This is a bad time for us to be buying tires, but I suppose I do need them.

I can't believe that S and I spend all of our FSA funds already and it's only mid-year. S just had more maladies that needed to be treated than I thought! Next year I will definitely max out that FSA account so we can get even more of a tax break.

I'm just glad gas prices are down a tiny bit. As much as I'm getting tired of walking to the hospital to get lunch these days, I'd rather do that than fire up the car and waste gas driving somewhere nearby. It would be better if I could brown-bag it more often but since I'm so exhausted these days and am having such a hard time waking up in the a.m. I just can't deal with making lunch. I always eat dinner home if I have lunch out anyway so it evens out for me.
