I cannot seem to get a quality haircut for under $60 in this city. My debut at an organic salon (with scalp massage) for a hair cut, shampoo and blow dry was $60, before gratuity.
Bought some seafood, as I'd been going without for a few weeks. I stopped at one place two weeks ago but it was offering $35/lb for Copper River salmon, so I passed. I got it for half that today, somewhere else. Bought cheap (under $6.50/bottle) wine and lemons.
Went on a Costco run with boy -- loaded up the cart. $124.58. No meat nor wine nor clothes: just grains, butter, lunch stuff for his day camp, tomatoes, beans, juice, Ziploc(tm) bags, organic sugar.
Bought discount vitamins too.
Also took the car for an oil change, as it reached its 2950 mile interval. $34.08
My car collided with another car (I was trying to get out of its way), but as there was no physical damage to vehicles nor drivers, I thought 'feh!' and after clearly and carefully asking the other driver how he'd care to proceed, departed). Calling it a fenderbender would be an embellishment, terming it a crash would be an outright lie.
Tried to go to coin shop to pick up my Yen, but it was closed as the brothers had a wedding to go to that day. So that's why I've been slow getting Yen for Osaka. But boy! I'm not sure how I want to proceed with the replacement car -- I've been very blessed to not have had physical injuries over the past three accidents; however, I'm not pleased that I've had three accidents within nine months. I have my lights on at all times, when I was driving the vehicle it was during the day... not sure what else I can do to be more visible, nor how to ensure other drivers are being attentive to the traffic situation and conditions.
Driving wasn't all spendspend though: I deposited two cheques, and mailed an envelope with three Roth and Coverdell deposits equalling the total amount of the cheques deposit. A rerouting, if you will.
Wot I spent $$ on today, and a wee collision
