Day 6: Thursday, August 07, 2008
Funny how you can spend money and not even realize it. Yesterday afternoon I was thinking about my spending and thought, “Gee I did not spend anything today”. Not so. We had a food day at work, and I gave a co-worker $10 to contribute to getting some pizza. I then went down that afternoon and bought an ice cream for myself and a coworker. Total $3.00. So I spent $13.00 and had not remembered any of it. I kept the compact and only purchased food and the food was for fellowship, and that is a bonus! As far as my waste, that will be my last ice cream for a while, Styrofoam container went to a landfill. When I got home my guitar, (birthday present) was at my door. Cardboard box to the recycle bin and the small cover that was made out of thin Styrofoam was cut into squares and will be used under the cat litter box in the unused shower to prevent any litter from going down the drain. Used my spork for lunch and used a paper plate that went into the garbage. Going to start bringing a plate to keep at my desk for food days. Hey, you learn as you go. Identify the problems and resolve them. On a side note, Ellen and I are going to a conference in San Fransisco, naturally we are going to extend our trip to hike Yosemite National Park!!!
