I messed up the checking account. I forgot to write in two automatic payments and I have a transcription error.
DAMN IT! Balancing the check book is sometimes a journey to adventure. I have to make a point of being far more meticulous.

I had to go to an out of network doctor this week. There goes the budget this month! I will get back 80% but only of the usual and customary fee. I have not had to spend any money out of budget except for the medical expense.

Wait! That is not entirely accurate!

I have the relatives coming over for Easter so the food bill is over budget this week and probably for the month as a whole. Guess we'll have to make it back elsewhere.

I am still struggling with "needs" versus "wants". I guess I'll just have to keep hitting it.
