MONEY THOUGHTS: I left home about 7:30 a.m. for 8 a.m. yoga class and then went straight to support group, stopping just for the iced coffee. I didn't eat breakfast [which was too light] until about 11:30. After gardening, I was over-hungry by the time I got to town with the girls about 2:30 p.m. I then overate/overspent--on dark chocolate chip peanut butter Perfect Bar, the bag of chips, the slice of "free" lemon loaf cake. So planning meals and snacks for the proper time, before I'm lightheaded and shaky, is not only healthy, but also thrifty.
