Only because I hastily showered to keep myself awake without caffeine so I could go to my nocturnal outing. My preferred card was in a jacket I didn't take out with me, I still haven't found the mailer with my debit card PIN, so I had to use the card of evil on a cab (brought a bus pass, but the show ended 80 minutes later than I thought) and dinner. Not normally so extravagant, but a friend who is very happy to be alive and dancing found some excellent well-timed opportunities to celebrate her birthday.

Bought more BEARX with money kicking around in my Roth. Prices of some stocks I own are down 10% from last month. Not worried, because they all have dividends, they all will likely beat the S&P this year, most are international, most are S&P five-stars, and none of them is an automotive company nor a bank.

My 2006-era Ecco shoes are fraying and looking so scuffed my coworkers look to me to provide extensive and trenchant English literature knowledge. All I need is a shabby corduroy jacket and my specs riding high on my head. And so soon after I bought shoes! I'll try saving some money until the rains come so hard that my feet get wet, and then I can buy boots and shoes. Maybe I'll get the lining and a button replaced on my fave wool coat.
What a good thing we don't have to have a real wardrobe at work: just shoes, shirt, garments to cover the bottoms a plus) but no T-shirts with slogans. However, I would like to own more than two dresses.

The 3.03% drop in the market makes me think I'll buy a gold coin and some Yen next week. This week I applied some extra to our mortgage. Wouldn't the first week of July be delightful to declare Baby Step #3 (6 months' emergency fund) accomplished!
