September 2019 Frugal Chatter-Ring the bell for deals and goal adjustments
So that we don't end up shrieking like the wallet in one Internet provider's TV commercial, I thought to get direct-September's when we adjust spending and personal plans to get ready for shorter days, cooler temperatures and the temptations of impulse or unplanned shopping trips.
Time to tackle those little fix-up or clean-up tasks (that seemed like terrible ideas during humidity heatwaves) if possible. I have some paint tasks but no new paint and the word about two weeks ago was more or less to go back to the old cans if I wanted to freshen paint on doors last done in 2007....not good enough for me.
August coupon cleanup/recycle time. Cut out any new coupons that come in the mail or inserts. Retrieve coupons taken from the store and file them into your organizer or dedicated spot. It's amazing how coupons can lurk in mail, stacks of papers or magazines or pockets and shelves or drawers...corral them all!
Revise any plans you want done for 2019-some might need more time, money or resources not yet at hand or maybe everything's aligned and it's a question of which day or hour to do that plan and finish it. Look for community activities or learning opportunities (free or low-cost) to try out something new or update knowledge (like tax matters for businesses or computing, etc.). I decided to get a free ticket to a Sept. CRA related talk about tax matters.
Given the abundance of back to school flyers, clip any product photos or images of things you can use to make a gift list for people you have to buy presents for or to update your own vision board or to add to the shopping list so when you are next in that store, you can examine the product and not forget!
If the weather's warm outside and the grass is not near any spruce needles or scary rodents, try walking barefoot for a few minutes and feel like a kid again! I've missed doing this on a regular basis so about three times I've gone out the door barefoot to do a quick task. Yes, early morning dew means cut grass sticks to feet, but get earthing!:high5:

I don’t own a car I knew I was a adult after my parents started to give me items for my apartment to live.
Also when I was 16 I was given luggage it was a hint because I was going to Hawaii with my school soccer team.
I swear since I was 13 my mom has been dropping subtle hints about leaving the nest. That I stand on my two feet my mom watched my sister leave this year and she seems quite depressed without my sister there. But my mom has been trying to get rid of responsibility of me. Not that I want to move back in because I really don’t she still thinks she plays a major role in my life. I guess she does in some ways.
I’m done with going up in elevator and down stairs for going down. I was really tired when I was rudely awoken by a text message. Now I consumed chicken Cesar salad which has no nutritional value at all. After they added like the whole container of Cesar dressing and whole bag of croutons. No one understands if your having garlic bread with it you don’t add croutons as well. Especially if the garlic bread is crispy. I don’t personally like croutons in my Cesar salad especially if they are too large to chew they are like sharp on the gum line.
My day was suppose to be a lazy day but I am so tired now it’s time for a nap or just lay here listening to music.
Has anyone ever had stuffed pepper soup?
