dchenesSo I went and did it. I decided I'm going diving in Bonaire in January, and put an $850 deposit thereon. And bought travel insurance and diving-emergency insurance for $100 each, besides. I still have to buy plane tickets, and there are no direct flights, so I'm thinking maybe BOS-ATL because JetBlue goes there cheapish, and ATL-BON however I have to. And vice versa, naturally.
Fall is always an expensive season, unfortunately, and that didn't help, but it's not that I can't afford it. It's just that it comes on top of chorus dues in September, pet insurance in October, rabies shot appointments in November, and holiday travel (Thanksgiving and Christmas) in general. I think next time I won't bother with pet insurance. At this point it's definitely not worth what I'm paying for it. But if I try to cancel it while the Hairy Beasts are still around, the insurance company will nag me to death. I know that because when it got to the point where it wasn't worth what I was paying for it, I tried to not renew it and was nagged mercilessly for months.
I suppose, speaking of things that nag me to death, that the way to get my GP's office to stop nagging me is to go make an appointment for a physical. At which they'll tell me to lose weight. I already know that, so why would I want to pay (albeit not much) to sit around in a paper gown in a cold room and be told that? Which is why I haven't done it yet. I do have to make the rabies shot appointments for the Hairy Beasts, though.
This weekend is supposed to be gorgeous, and I've decided not to waste it this time (see last weekend). Going to the movies might count as wasting some of a perfectly lovely day, but I do want to see Ad Astra.
