New boots!

So here's what I'm thinking...

If I get my new Opus card, my fare will go from 70$/month to 148$/4 months (36$/month). If I used that extra 34$/month, I would join the gym and accomplish one of my goals! Excellent :)

I bought boots yesterday. I know, I know... I didn't have the money. However, I start my stage soon and will need to not be wearing boots that have holes in them. Think of the boots as an investment in my future :P Except that I bought two pair because the salesman gave me a deal: 60$ plus tax (13.5%) each or 100$ cash for both. I ran to the bank, deposited my QST refund of 87$ (the government gives sales tax refunds to everyone 3 or 4 times a year -- the amount varies depending on how much you earned the last year), withdrew 100$ and ran back to the shoe shop. Yes!

The money was earmarked for my ortho surgery but I'm so close to my goal and I have so many more months before I need to pay. I'm not worried :)
