Being Lazy

 About blogging. Been busy also.

I thought about moving this year, but I have too much stuff to get rid of in a short period of time. So I stay. I have good neighbours. There is the dog park and really if we want to see each other, it's not that far of a drive.

I am trying an experiment with growing green onions in water. So far in a week I have been able to cut them, dehydrated them and started a jar. It takes actually less than a week to re-grow the green portion. I hope to keep them going until mine come up in the garden. I also hope the garden has chives.

This week I should make some tri-berry jam. Not sure if I will get to it though. The fruit is frozen so will be okay to do later.

Money will be tight for the next two months as I have the dogs needles and a heartworm test to do, and I will probably owe taxes. Then I have some other yearly things coming out. So have decided to live on what I have around which is lots. I will need to pick up navy beans, some powdered coffee whitener ( my stomach does okay on it), butter and sugar as I don't have quite enough for the jam. So we'll see how many more no spend days I can have it. The next couple of months. Its been interesting to see what meals I can plan with what is here. I didn't spend anything on Easter. We all shared the ingredients.

    Well done growing green onions in water! Good luck with the no spend days and using what you have in your pantry and freezer. :)

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...
