    I also have a Kindle Paperwhite. I'm hoping to start getting more reading time in soon.

    SouizQ, I think I missed your bit about frozen shoulder. I had that, and it was a pain in the butt, not being able to lift my right arm... but when I did my research I read that women in peri-menopause are most at risk, and that it goes away on its own after a few months.

    I had gone to a doctor who cluelessly wrote me a prescription for a pain medication that I never took, but after I read that it goes away by itself, I just waited it out and it did go away.

    Of course I am not offering medical advice to you because you may have a completely different thing, but your mention of "frozen shoulder" perked up my ears, so I thought I'd share my experience.


    Thanks for your insight Catherine. It was felt by my surgeon that the frozen shoulder is getting in the way of healing from the surgery last summer. I've already been through two courses of PT for it, plus all of the stretches and exercises I do at home every day. It really is a very painful and annoying condition! And hearing that it can take up to two years to resolve....ugh...I'm already so weak in my upper body now.

    I canceled my WSJ and Economist subscriptions. WSJ was $4/minth but I like NYT much better, which is staying - $4/monrh. Economist at a discount is $175 a year. Up $15 from last year. It expires in August, but just wanted to do it while I remembered.

    Only subscription besides NYT will be an individual Apple One subscription for iCloud storage and Apple Music.

    Also increased car insurance deductible from $250 to $500. I’ll save about $65 on car insurance that way. It renews next month.

    I love my McD’s in the am. Sausage McMuffin. Yum. Trying again to cut them out, for both health and cost reasons. Wish me luck. Didn’t go this morning. Baby steps. Then there is all the trash!

    I assume you stop there on the way to somewhere else, so you are in your car? Maybe put a jar in your car and every time you drive buy without buying one, you put the cash into the jar. Incentive is to see how many jars you can fill!!!

    LOL. I get it. Then maybe keep a little notebook or something and just write down the amount, keeping a tally of what you save. Reach a certain point and deposit that amount into the growing savings account!
