I went to walmart for their deal on stove top stuffing at 87cents who could beat that price. I bought 4 boxes of turkey and 2 boxes of chicken flavour, Walmart brand margarine, and Walmart brand ranch dressing. I paid 10$ and got 1.20$ back.

It’s really wet outside...yesterday was a migraine and today I know why I am so much spinal pain as I walked home from Walmart. I was surprised I didnt collapse almost a block away from my apartment building. I guess this happens every so often when I over do it when I don’t have a break to just relax during the week. I got back to my apartment and took 2x 600mg prescription strength ibuprofen. Trying to stay with it, I have high pain tolerance so I usually cannot tell when something is bad.

Clipped the save.ca coupons.

I looked on amazon the dog sweater I ordered are in transit finally something has relevant shipping info.

My two cats are fighting over the one cat bed so I made two more out of boxes and will see how it goes as new cat beds are expensive. Using up everything that I have and will avoid impulse buys from now on as my property tax bill came in for next year....ouch. Ordered one gift from indigos and they are guaranteeing delivery by Jan 9th, so I am shipping to the local store.

Yeah I went to go pick up my package yesterday and it was totally not in there system nor by Canada post had not that number in their tracking information.

I was dog sitter this morning the dog was a such a suck. And barked a lot which got on my nerves. I have a high bed 2 feet above the ground that came with the apartment. Anyways the dog fell off like once then jumped off the other time. The first time he fell off I asked him if he was okay. I guess he was because he talked back about it.

I am now doing bacon in the oven because I am hungry lol. It smells good which is a bonus.

I was asked how much a Mickey of vodka was. Apparently I would know how I don’t drink anymore? It was 3 years 5 months Wednesday alcohol free.

DH and I did a quick trip to buffalo. I somehow ordered an Amazon.com gift card so we used it up for some holiday shopping and the Border was busy on the way over. We declared everything we bought and had no issues.

I’ve spent my entire day until 1:30pm going through kids clothes. It took some candy bribery to get the boys to try their clothes on. 3 bags are going to the garage sale next year. I now know exactly what summer clothes, swim suits, hats, and sandals they have for the trip to Cuba. A few things will need to be purchased. I’ve posted ads on Facebook. We’ll go to WM and see what they have there.

WEnt to No Frills this afternoon. The roasts in the flyer had 30 percent stickers on them and in store bonus of 3000 pts per roast. I bought 8! I stocked us up on lots of stuff. Redeemed $90 in points. Received back 24,600 in points and paid $1.05. So happy with my haul. I have 2 roasts in oven now. Will have for dinner with mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy.

[Giseledta]
