    One more NSD.
    But I need to spend again tomorrow. And today I wasn't really active either. When I'm at work all day I don't spend - I've mostly got into that good habit, but I'm so good at avoiding anything that resembles housework (including crafts that I've already started) that when I'm not at work I either vegetate or spend money.
    Two more NSDs since then.
    And I think tomorrow will be a day of vegetating - not many places open to spend money in anyway.
