I worked from home yesterday and again today. I spent absolutely nothing yesterday because I didn’t leave the house at all. I didn’t even run to the mailbox because that would mean I’d have to put on some shoes.
This morning I took my car into the shop to get inspected, change the oil, and rotate and balance the tires. Estimated damage is about $150.00. I suffered greatly the day before because I didn’t have any caffeine in the house, so I walked back home and picked up a coffee and a lottery ticket. (Why do people at the lottery register think you’re crazy because you only want one ticket? I go for cheap thrills here. Just one please.) Less than $3 and I can still feel a low-grade headache forming.
I sold off some of my hockey tickets (5 early season games) and deposited some checks. I’m pleased because that will cover the cost of the tickets and save me the money of buying stadium concession food and Metro rides for those games. It also happens that the amount of money will cover the cost of the car repairs.
Also, I reduced my unreported liabilities this morning, or rather yesterday in the unchecked mailbox. I got a ticket from DC earlier this summer for not having DC tags on my car. Park enough in front of your boyfriend’s house and suddenly they assume you live there. I contested the ticket and the fines by their mail-in adjudication service and won. Mind you, I sent them a copy of my VA driver’s license and VA registration to prove that I’m still happily a Virginia resident. (I say unreported liabilities because I never put this onto my net worth sheet, but technically I should have.) I received a letter from DC’s Parking Ticket Adjudication Board aka ‘Hearings by Mail’ and it is my proof that I no longer owe them $200.00.
The plan today for lunch at home is leftover pasta and maybe a snack at Wendy’s on the way home from the dealership. I wish I could have spent no money two days in a row, but que sera sera. I’m glad to have one true No Spend Day this month.

I’m glad you were able to get out of the ticket! I had to get quite a few things done before I got a ticket for not transferring my identity to my new state…oh well, I spent about $175 yesterday, and I officially live in a new state (a state without state income tax, which is great).
