End of the Day ....

and I am home alone in a freezing house. Didn't build a fire before I left, now it will take a while before it gets comfy. It's too darn cold in the bathroom, otherwise I'd sayIi take a hot shower, especially since I am all cooled down from the little jog I did. NowI have cold semi wet clothes on my back. Maybe I should just slip into something dry at least. Can always take a shower later. I know the dogs won't care either way. They love me just the way I am:).
Bought a new pair of Nike running shoes today. They weren't really in our budget, but I can't jog in my old ones anymore. My knees and back have been killing me, walking is fine, but running, I just couldn't do that anymore. They were on sale, but still came to $ 105. Ouchy! It's usually not out of the ordinary for us to buy the best fitting (having my feet equals the most expensive) shoes, but $$ is a bit tighter since we started the whole addition/remodel process.
I decided that since I am trying to get back in shape I can't skimp on things like that. Walking/jogging is what I do, it's my exercise of choice. What's the point in being all skinny but not being able to walk or stand up straight because I messed up my back and knees.
I am not really used to having to watch every penny, at least not this way. It's not that we are broke, but DH gets very uncomfy when the checking account gets below 2K. I am mean he can't sleep at night. I guess it's ok, it's always better to have a cushion, right?
And it's really not like that he tells me what I can or can not buy, never has, just with him being the main bread winner he woories.
Well, I did pay 1/2 with what I made this weekend (I mostly use that $ for what we need on a daily basis), the other 1/2 I used my bank card. This way he won't be choking, probably not even wondering too much. And since I don't really have any other things to buy this week, maybe some milk or so, I should not need any extra form the bank.
Just got off the phone with DH. Told him that I got new shoes and all he said: "ok, good, you needed some". Why am I always worried about nothing? Well, I guess both of us worry, just in different way.

I am tired. I'll get myself another load of wood upstairs and then it's laying around on the couch. Maybe watching "Idol" or catching up on some shows I tevod.
