Yay, fatty lipoma!
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

For FSA spending, a little googling has reminded me that sunscreen is a thing. (Also, Amazon has an FSA section of their site, so that's helpful.) (I'm just really determined to spend all of it because I hate leaving money on the table.)

I spent my whole workday up with Misses Ivy & Maple. Miss Maple has only been of the streets since Oct 29& was already weaned. Ivy was taken in at 3 wks with a feral mom, so had more time around humans. And Ivy is fearless, I think partly just by nature, but also just more time. So I hang around Maple, note signs for when she’s had too much. She’s still a purr machine who loves a belly rub, so I think with patience, she won’t be skittish & will be a people cat.

A coworker once had an insane amount of FSA $$ at the end of the year and splurged on a bunch of massages and a new mattress. I'm not sure my FSA would cover a mattress....but gosh I wouldn't mind a new one. Orthopedic pillow?

Like 10 years ago my brother f’d up his fsa withholdings and I was given giants bags of bandaids and anti-bacterial cream and moleskin and pain killers and Imodium and pepto I still have some of it, I threw out a lot for the move because it was expired. The hsa at my last job did not cover otc stuff at all.

I did like msbelle’s brother one year. Everyone in the family got cold meds and painkillers and heat pads. I also got several humidifiers (penguins!) which proved useful over the years.

I would totally get a massage if we weren't in a pandemic. I'm a little too paranoid about that.
Orthopedic pillow?
Heyyyyyyy. That's a good idea!

Yeah, Tim withheld kind of a high amount for his FSA and then didn't use it (I think he was assuming he would use it for some of his heart surgery expenses, and he did on the day of surgery, because he paid a $500 deposit), and some might roll over to next year, but there still might be a large amount just hanging around.

Can't you use your FSA on fancy glasses frames that exceed your regularly scheduled amount?
Fancy orthopedic pillows or side sleeper pillows or weighted blankets all sound like good solutions too.

Yeah, glasses are top of the list for both of us. I'm just looking at other stuff, because I suspect there might be a lot of $ left in the FSA account. Tim withheld kind of a large amount. (He changed that for 2021.)
