Reading

 The past few days I have been reading one of the housemaid mystery books. At first, it seemed to go slow, not make a whole lot of sense. It did turn out to be a very good read. I would give it a 9 out of 10. This one was the Housemaids Secret. Written by Freida McFadden.

We finally got above zero temperatures. It has melted to the point where there are tiny lakes everywhere, still lots of ice and of course lots of snow. They called in the big guns today. They cleared the ice as much as they could along with snow. Now we are down to puddles. As the parking lot is pretty much cleared, it won't take long for the small patches of snow to go.

Daughter and I talked twice today for a total of an hour. We put everything to rights. She's going to come over this weekend at some point. I need help with one of my couches and she bought me a double jar of Tylenol arthritis. She also found a ham fir Easter dinner.

    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...
