Had a few extra expenses that only come up every few months but nothing extreme.
Most expensive was a new bucket of protein powder, which I buy 10 lbs at a time. Cheaper that way, plus the kind I buy tastes better than any I've tried and does not have Creatine in it.
Then I had to order a new bottle of Acidophilus. Ran out a couple of weeks ago. Actually been feeling a difference due to the lack. Again, I order a few months worth at a time.
Plus I ordered some more Apple Cider Vinegar tablets. Just cannot talk myself into drinking liquid vinegar as often as I need to. Either need to force my tolerance higher or take the bite and order the tablets more often and in greater supply.
May sound silly or like it's in my head but these things make a huge difference in the way I feel and in my general health. Protein powder keeps my calorie intake up, prevents weight loss and helps retain muscle mass. The latter two help keep a healthier balance in my gut, especially keeping Candida growth restrained.
Of course, when I get my teeth pulled, may not feel my best for a few days. However, using that time intentionally to also give my gastric system a rest. Sticking with liquids and extremely soft foods for a few days. which may give my guts a chance to heal more thoroughly. I have no doubt I have more extensive intestinal damage because I haven't been able to properly chew my food for some time. Not enough teeth. Sounds repulsive but I know other people go through much of the same thing.
All of this comes back around to what I said early this year. This is a year of healing for me on multiple levels. Physical, emotional and financial. Before the beginning of next year, I'm going to be in a whole lot better condition than I have been for a while. Even the vacations with daughter helped me tremendously emotionally/spiritually.
