Traps for today

Here we go:
  • Buying surplus donuts for this morning's office warming social. One dozen will be enough for seven people, plus I picked up a half-price vegetable tray at Metro last night. It has not expired yet, they look fresh to me, and I saved $5.
  • Hospital pay parking lot. I will choose sensible footwear to reduce temptation.
  • Networking dinner, which may involve multiple courses, wine, and simple-math bill splitting. I will indulge a little, enjoy the company of my colleagues, and lead by example on pushing back the dessert menu, firmly and swiftly.
  • Overpaying the babysitter, which of course I will do!
In the plus column is the stop downtown I'll likely make on the way home from dinner.
