Well, my trip home didn't pan out. I got a call a few hours after I got to my hotel, "You're husband is in the hospital & it doesn't look good." He's fine now, but I'm exhausted & in bad physical shape. It's hard taking care of someone when you're sick.
I had be so good about watching my spending, but being under so much stress caused me to go on a small spending spree:
 |
| Cherry hair clip from My Baby Jo $6 (I also got pads for the bra) |
 |
| Mode Merr peasant top in black gingham $33 before coupon |
 |
| Blue Topaz (Dec. birthstone) ring for $4 on eBay |
 |
| Figgjo Mirror from IKEA $20 |
I also have one auction going on eBay, so it might be another $25 & I ordered $40 worth of medical supplies. I've also had to spend more on food & cooking supplies since the Mr is on a special diet because he almost died (not exaggerating at ALL).
While lamenting my irresponsibility at the doctor's office the other day, one of the nurses had a good point. I spent 3 weeks at wits end, dressed in pajamas to try to stay comfortable while cleaning up someone else's blood & phlegm. (Ew, I know, sorry!) I need to feel cute again. Plus there's the ever present issue of my horrible self-esteem. I'm still getting unemployment and have gone with out a lot of things for a long time. I didn't really spend THAT much.
Should I have spent that much money with a huge hospital bill coming up? Probably not.
Was it a help to my terrible self-esteem? Yes. I've gotten a ton of compliments on the top & my hair. The bra is sooo comfortable that as soon as I have more funds, I will order another one.
