Yikes and Barre, Post #2

Happy day to you. It's chilly here, now that a cold front has actually blown through (with damage elsewhere in my Small Town), and my luncheon plans were cancelled by Good Friend's illness, so...

As I have said for years, I am planning to reduce my spending on clothes and shoes. As a preparation for setting a dollar amount/budget, I decided to total up last year's expenditures on same. All the YIKES. I realize, however, that my spending was in part due to depression/burnout, so I'll be tracking more closely, sticking to my budget, and figuring out other coping mechanisms.

But I did just buy a pair of trainers on sale, which, please join me in eye-rolling at myself. (I had budgeted the purchase of these for February, so...)

Last week I took a killer Barre class (same old studio, new instructor), and so I'll do a few three-sentence fics on the theme of Barre:

May you have few yikes (despite our sorry world), may you be able to breathe this week.
