1. I found a nickel on the ground. I never find change when walking around. But this day was my lucky day. Upon exiting the car, there was a shiny nickel waiting for me to pocket it. I felt pretty lucky the rest of the day.
2. I had a ton of fun with my family all together this week. I realized what made San Francisco special back in the 90s when I first lived here. It was the fun with my cousins. And this time together with them, partners and grown kids. That magic was once again relived.
3. Went to the museum. One of my favorite past times. The picture above is one of two that I favor. The look on Ms. Maria Anne Fitzherbert’s face resonate with me often. I really don’t know much about her. I must go look!
4. Finished paying back $20,000 that I borrowed from my retirement account back in January. How did I pay it back so quickly? Laser focused, cut out the consumeristic fun, kept my grocery budget low, and assigned every additional cent to pay it back.
5. Received a bag of smaller sized apples. I will likely make an apple betty in individual ramekins, try my hand at making apple butter and eat them whole (especially now that I am back to focusing on my health & well being).

What frugal things have you been up to this week?
