And it wasn't on anything fun.

Actually, if we’re going to be truthful, I spent $9,045.00 on nothing fun. I knew it was going to be a lot, but I didn’t think it would be quite that much.

I was at the pharmacy when this happened. The lady checking me out said, “Name and date of birth.”

I told her.

She tippy-tapped on the keyboard and boom! Her eyes went big as saucers. You know how you read that in books but it’s kind of hard to imagine? I can see it now. Her eyes were Enormous with a capital “e.” She looked panicked for a minute and said, “Uhhh…”

I said, “Yeah, I know.”

She said, “You know it’s 9,000 dollars?”
