I went to my appointment today at 10am and I get a new mental health case manager mine was fired. 2nd week of September she said possibly. But my counsellor comes back on the 6th for being gone nearly a month on short term medical leave.

Today it’s very tired day I walked very slowly home then was asked to buzz someone to my floor Tracy it was geeze she needs to find her keys or stop loosing them. We live on the same floor but I am sick of doing favours for her but when I ask a favour of her she cannot. She just asked me to bring her some food I am not a gopher. I basically said no after her statement of “I love you...” in a text message. Now I am getting “what am I doing?” Little too need to need to know like right now.

I am trying to have it stay a frugal day by not spending my money on others for now.

It got up to a high of 18C and it’s raining outside.

Good weekend morning!

Finished watering neighbour’s yard and now paper and coffee.

Heads up that in today’s paper there was a coupon insert pack. One of those was an FPC for Uncle Ben’s Bistro Express rice.

Enjoy the day folks!

@GoodBoy which insert was that. TIA

Yesterday I took my children and my daycare kids to the rodeo parade. It was hot and muggy, but it was enjoyed by all.

I’ve spent time last night and today sorting out “new” clothes from our bins for twin girl and ds. I’ve also put away too small clothes for twin boy to grow into.

Our local Salvation Army has a customer appreciation sale today. $1/item, free door prize draws, and fresh baking to enjoy. I bought a t-shirt and pair of jeans for myself. I was very surprised because these were the only items that I tried on. T-shirt and pants for twin girl to grow into. Pants for twin boy. Sleeveless shirt for ds. $6 for 6 items.

We didn’t know about an event across the street, but spotted it when we went to the clothing sale. We had known about it other years. Anyway, we went to check out the police, ambulance, and fire vehicles. We had free bbq lunch, drinks, cotton candy, popcorn. Kids got free toys, finger printed in new safety books, saw the police dog, free draws, colouring books, etc. Played in a bouncy castle.

A thunder storm hit us during the night and finally stopped at 11am. Very humid outside and under a new thunderstorm alert. We are enjoying the AC at home while our twins nap. We’ll be heading to the public library next. We are returning a DVD and picking up a reserved movie. I’ll also pick up some audio books. I have road trip for medical appointments next week. I’m travelling alone, so the audio books will be nice.

Sorry do not know which specific insert it was. It was in the Toronto Star, but as for the company doing the insert - no idea. And the paper is already in the recycle bin.

I figure Tracy doesnt understand anything like personal space. I did too much the end of week and I feel like crap today . I first woke up at 12:30pm but it’s now 2:30pm. She doesn’t get me on text message she tries fb messenger. If I am at an appointment she calls my cellphone multiple times, but it’s on silent as I feel it vibrates in my pocket. And she never leaves a voicemail message. She thinks I am mad at her when I don’t return her text messages but if you were sleeping how could you? When people read too much into text messages it definitely would be Tracy.

I was going to go to shoppers today but I really just feel like laying in bed and doing nothing. I have a cough and blowing my nose issue. And the time I want to do something I am stuck inside. I bought pants on amazon last night I thought they were camouflage but I guess they weren’t after all and I went to cancel the orders but it wouldn’t let me. I’ll try again today.

Just waking up thing is slow and steady as the day flies by. I bet you it’s raining outside as it’s raining inside my mind. Next week all I have is a doctors appointment which is Thursday. The heat is suppose to come back then.

I sold a lot of dill and a large yogurt container full of cherry tomatoes for $30. I’m quite happy with that.

Had a great shop at RCSS today. DH had a chicken offer as well as a bonus chicken offer if he spent 80.00 on Zafir halal products this month and this was included in the chicken breast sale so we are stocked for awhile and earned over 20000 points. It certainly has cooled off here but it’s nice to have the AC off and the windows open.
