Total Unlocked: $10

Spent: $22.26

Cards:
4x Whimsicott V,
3x Whimsicott VStar,
2x Fan of Waves

I ended last week by finishing the 3rd task (e.g. work level 2-3). That unlocked another $5, bringing my total to $10. However, over the weekend there was a pokemon prerelease, wherein timing for buying can be a big factor in how much money you can make off of selling cards and sometimes it can even determine whether or not you can purchase a prerelease kit at all. Thus I elected to go ahead and buy a kit for $20 (in part because I had a coupon that made it $20 instead of the normal $30). And I managed to get quite a few good cards. I've already sold one of them for the $20 price I paid for the whole set, and at least 2 more should sell for somewhere in the $10-$30 range.

With that sale under my belt, and with my daughter expressing an interest in learning more about how to play, I decided to go ahead and spend some money putting together a deck that's reasonably strong and also reasonably straight forward: Whimsicott VStar. Accordingly, I bought the cards for it. So all told, my total spending this weekend on Pokemon cards was $20, minus the $20 I have coming in, plus the $22.26 that I spent on cards for the deck to teach my daughter with. I've exceeded the funds that I had available, but I feel like doing so was justified, and I know that I'll unlock the rest of the required funds within the next few days.

I completed two days of dog-walking last week, which means I'm landing back on level A-a for that one. Here storms played a role again, but an equal contributor came from the fact that my walking shoes randomly started hurting my feet on both of the days that I did walk. Each time, it left my toes on my right foot feeling a bit squished, remaining sore for the rest of the day and into the night. So not walking him more was roughly equal parts laziness, cramped schedule, and conscious decision due to minor injury. I'll plan to do some sort of walking with him this week, in different shoes. I'm not yet even contemplating whether or not I reach level B yet.
