The budget person ("Budgetnista") suggested having a checking account for bills only so that you don't spend the money that you need for bills and that you know how much cash is on hand. So I opened another checking account with no fee. The Budgetnista also recommends having a saving account that's separate from your checking accounts, which I already have.

Bought dry cat food from Amazon. Now I'm really going to bed.

Woke up around 11 AM. It's going to be a hot day; the forecasters are predicting 94F, so I'm going to stay inside. I had wanted to clean out the car. Oh well. The temperature is supposed to go down later in the week.

I bought a few bottles of diet cola yesterday. I mostly want to drink water, but it was good to have a glass of fizzy goodness this morning.

I was looking for a Spiralizer recipe to make this week. I found one with asparagus and zucchini, but it calls for carrot juice. I don't have a juicer. I did find a used juicer on Facebook Marketplace, but how often would I use it? A lot of the recipes that I've flagged call for butternut squash (mmm), so I can really get going in the fall. Also found a recipe for baked cod fillets, so I should thaw some fillets. I have a lot of frozen vegetables, so I can serve it with them.

I thought that I had another Spiralizer cookbook, but I guess not.

Dozed for a half-hour. Tossed in a load of laundry. Had a moment of Kitty Drama, but they broke it up when I told them to cut it out. I'm glad that they listen to me. Had a bite to eat.

Did some meal planning and wrote up a grocery list. Ate dinner. Took a nap, slept through a "severe" thunderstorm, and slept for three hours. Fed the patient girls.

I need the forms from my budget book, so I'm going to poke around online. The author didn't think of what Kindle readers would do. I could recreate them, but that would be a pain.
