It's overcast here now, was raining this morning a bit on my way too work. I have laundry drying in the dining room lol It wasn't quite dry when I wanted to put it away at 9 last night. So tonight I will put it away and put a load in the wash and hang it to dry. DS's be sheets and comforter are hanging to dry today so will make his bed tonight too. Then I should go through his underwear and socks and clean the those drawers up. He must have about 30 pairs on the go. And most like new so can't toss any out really
Lizzie: I am glad your mom is on the mend and that you will still get a vacation this summer.
I am on vacation with the kids this week, DH is working. I have a lot more vacation to use so this is my week to catch up & the list is long. 5 things to go back to various stores, a trip to Sally Annto give away several bags of cloths. Finish sorting the stockpile, which has become a dump and run in the past month. You get the idea.
We may do a trip to Niagara Falls on Thursday as I have a return for the Loft in the US. So I may pick up some cheap back to school supplies but we don’t need much as I stocked up at the end of last September.
I spent all my PC points last month (240.00) but was happy to discover I have 80.00 on my Air Miles card so will use it to but some meat from metro. Off to tackle the list as I know I could spend the day here.
oh Lilo, if you to make it an adventure, VIA rail is offering discounts on trips to NF's. check out the blog on here.
I do the same with my Airmiles at Metro. Wait for an awesome sale and load up. I have about $90 worth for Metro so hope they have a good sale in the fall. Trying to empty the freezer now. I need to decide how/when I should use my PC points. I have $330 on my PC MC and $100 on my PC plus card. Thinking a fun $100 shopping spree in fall when I need to re-stock. Sales and coupons and PMing of course.
ok so it is August oh my! I really need to get rolling on Christmas shopping!
Check out RCSS for summer candy mark down. Bought big boxes of Mike and Ike for .54 cents. Putting away for stocking stuffers and one to add to a Birthday party gift for DS's friend. I had a bunch of other candy but put it back since we don't need it. Almost got all caught up in the deals lol
When shopping at the RCSS on weekend came across the 100pk of plastic mini spoons (for DS for school lunch- I refuse to send my good cutlery) They were signed at .74 cents (reg $1.99) Grabbed 2 packs and they rang up at $1.99 so got a SCOP free one and they charged me .74 for the other one. Love it when that happens :)
Nachos it is for dinner. Pulled beef from freezer that was already cooked. Had my oldest help me for 30 mins as soon as we walked in the door. Had him bring things upstairs and to basement. Vacuum stairs etc. I put laundry away while he did it. Now time to eat. Have laundry ready to go on at 700
good day for ya FBM!
well managed to get a few things done. a few more things to accomplish.
found out that squeaking to the right level also works well. crossing my fingers it works out in my favor.
Feeling lazy now lol. Are macaroons easy to make? Anyone give me an easy no fail recipe. I need chocolate!
DH helped db today to get a $20 discount on his cable bill for the next year. We discovered that this scam artist was an actual employee of Bell who had bluffed his way into db's building so we tracked him down and made a formal complaint against him to the company.
We had an omlette and brown beans and a salad! Very frugal. Also very good (DH prepared it, as usual)
We have had a very stressful time lately wrt some purchases which have turned out to be VERY bad decisions. We are talking major losses. We had to make a critical decision again today and I am just hoping it works out well.
But small steps will hopefully put us back on the right track.
My DH can't undergo such stress as he is constantly fighting cancer. He is now part of a clinical study to try a new drug as the drs have run the gamut of regular drugs but the big C is starting to stir again. He has had many years of remission so we have tried to live each day to the fullest.
How can I end this post on a positive note? Well, I have wonderful support from family and friends and also from all of you here on SC.
Take care everyone!

Good Morning Everyone,

I have been holding something and am kind of ready to explode as I have no idea what to do. As I mentioned before I had the guy who's mom messaged me saying he was in the hospital, I sent back an I am sorry to hear that and left it at that as I did not know what to say. Friday night I got another message from her that he is a medical in dosed coma as he suffered a stroke and he keeps having a conversation with she thinks me. He keeps talking to an Ashley and I am the only Ashley she can find in his phone. We spoke for a bit and we determined he had the stroke well in mid conversation with me the last time we spoke, we were talking back and forth and he disappeared turns out that is when he suffered the stroke. It was cause by a blood clot which I think may have been from flying, he had just returned 2 days earlier from a work trip. I know this can happen as when mom came back from Vegas sick the hospital was worried about blood clots due to flying. Now I am feeling kind of lost as I cannot figure out what to say, normally I am always there for people I know in this situations to help which is my first reaction but I have never met this guy yet. I kind of feel like I am saying all the wrong things because I do not know the right thing to say. Probably does not help that I already have issues wording myself correctly in texts. I just constantly feel like I am saying the wrong thing or not enough and feel like I am about to fall into a While you Where Sleeping Moment (which would totally happen). But I feel like there is a fine line here and I am not sure where it is. It is really bugging me just because I feel like I cannot be and am constantly over thinking everything and it is really bugging me. After everything last year (which yes is almost exactly one year) I swore to just be me and now I feel like I am not being me. Sorry for the long post I am just so lost right now. Not to mention kind of freaked out, I mean he is 31 has 2 small children and is now laying in a hospital bed in a medical in dosed coma, you never think of someone so young suffer a stroke. My heart goes out to his family, he is 31 I am sorry and now they are trying to deal with and process and all of this well they wait for his body to heal so he can be brought out of the coma. It is so heart breaking.
