In like a fozen lamb

 Yup it's cold here. -29C windchill -36C. Because it's too cold to snow they say March will come in like a lamb. I disagree. Tomorrow is to be just as cold, then the warm up. I am tired of being so cold. 

Oakley has spring fever or at least I think it is. Everyday now he takes out all his toys, rips the blankets off the couches, tosses the cushions on the floor and has the zoomies at least three times a day. I guess even dogs get bored.


Can't get one of the zooming. He's too fast.
Enjoy the last day of February. May March come in like a lion and leave like a lamb.

    Oh, but, he looks so cute in that picture! I'm sorry it is so cold up there. I hope spring comes early for you and March will be a lovely month. Will you do another mostly no-spend month in March, too?

      Thanks Bless. I am planning to go low/no spend days. I keep in mind that my spend days are the 1st and 14th. That's when any bills come due. So I will always have two spend days. At some point I will need to get gas but other than that I am good for another bunch of no spend days. Jean

    We are getting snow today (or rather we got snow), with more to come over the next while. Like you I am hoping spring comes very soon.

    God bless.

End of September

 Today marks the end of another month and the beginning of a new age for my youngest grandchild who turned 13 today. The last teenager in the family.  My finances are in the dump. With fixing my vehicle, spending way more on groceries, and various other expenses, I have decided to not buy groceries, unless it is fresh stuff I.e. carrots, beets, brussel sprouts, cucumber etc. I want to pay off my yearly car insurance in full, so I need to put $344 dollars away every pay for the next three pays. I also want to be out of the red in the next month. Things will be tight, but I can do it. Thankfully, it is only me.  Another beautiful day. We hit 30C again and should hit the same the next few days. I have cleaned all, sans one, of the insides of the balcony windows. I also cleaned three of the apartment windows. Just need to do the one balcony window and the door window to the balcony. Then onwards to doing them inside. I am going to put up a black out window curtains in my bedr...

February Ending

 Well since we only have three days left in February, I thought I would do a recap. I had hoped to do most of the month without going to the store. Did not happen I ended up going six times. I decided not to include my regular rent, utilities in with my calculation and some of it is dog needs which I am not including as his needs are there regularly every month. With his I went seven times to the store and he had grooming this month. From now on his regular needs dog food and treats will be only on one trip to the store. I will stock up. Just groceries and other spending I only had the six days but they were a doozy. I spent another $171.00 on groceries and had twenty no spend days. I had no other incidental buying this month. I hope this makes sense. My mind has a way of its own today.  I am hoping March will be better, but I will need to buy seeds for the garden. Normally we can’t plant before May 24th to around the first week of June. That’s why I will only get seeds in Mar...

Well It’s Over

 For another year. All our celebrations were yesterday. Today was cleanup day. I got the kitchen, bathroom and my bedroom cleaned. Most decorations are down and put away. Only have the tree to do and a couple of breakables. Managed to have a nap also. We had turkey, roast beef, ham, mashed potatoes, baby beans, pomegranate salad, buns, cheese and crackers, stuffing, chips and dip, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, Saskatoon pie and cookies. We had fifteen people here. Fun, noisy, games, teasing and good conversations. she Who Must Be Obeyed made Christmas jam for everyone. We will do it all again next year with a twist. Ours won’t be on Christmas Day. It will be on Boxing Day. There will be a whole lot more people as more cousins will attend. I think we might have to rent the golf course banquet room for the day. Which means, The Golfer will want me to cook it all, then bring it all there to be heated up. He will then insist that we clean the kitchen, the banquet room and the washroo...
