Lots of expenses this week including DD's camp funding, DH's car's exhaust, and our increased food budget from a week with guests.
My dear governor's refusal to take Obamacare funding has caused a budget shortfall which has meant he has again squeezed the university. We've just heard our health insurance premiums will rise as will co-pays and deductibles in 2016, so I need to schedule all sorts of medical things this year/summer. This latest bit has really increased our desire to get out of here. It's a very ugly climate at the university right now, and many of my colleagues are taking retirement bonuses which help them but will hurt our ability to deliver in many areas.
Happily (sort of), I've been offered another adjunct class in the fall which will help, but really load on the work. I need to use the summer as wisely as possible.
I held off buying anything this weekend in Door County except for some nice meals and a couple of jars of jam.
In other minor news, I sold a shirt and sweater on FB today, adding $7 to my totals. And my radishes and lettuce look very happy.
Financial Stall

I do love Door County, although saying that right after my snarky comment reminded me how deep red they were on the election results map last year. Keeping Walker in power for god knows what reason!
