    DS really wanted to pick up a burger or something on his way home from work last night. He even offered to pay. I talked him out of it and offered to make him a grilled cheese and that I could pick up buns today and make burgers and fries for dinner. So that is the plan tonight. I will stop on my lunch to get the buns. I also plan to go home and start some laundry. I will take a roast out of the freezer tonight for tomorrow nights dinner (mashed potatoes/gravy, carrots and green beans) Have everything on hand for tomorrow nights dinner.

    I topped off the gas tank last night ( I was just above half) Figured it was smart since we seem to always be under a snow watch etc.

    I cleaned up the budget since payday is coming Friday. We have done well with groceries and cooking/eating from home. Freezer is still full so wanting to slowly use stuff up.

    Morning called my sister-in-law last night,she has so much to do for my older brother ,he has a nurse come in and hook him up to antibotics and then back in 2 hours .My sister-in-law is getting home care once a week for a shower for him ,which is nice ,she is also paying for a nurse to come in and get his bloodwork done $30 a week (she told me well worth it ,given the recent weather)as he is diabetic also .I told her she is doing an excellent job and I will come visit when my cold is done .

    I called my other brother in London,ont and chatted with him about the oldest brother this morning and he thanked me.I only have these 2 half brother's in my life since younger brother hasn't bothered with me in 6 and a half years since I took my dear mom into live with us and you know what its better to have a people in your life that want to be .

    So when I am better I will go and sit with my older brother for an hour or 2 so my sister-in-law can go out to shop at rexall a block away .

    I am staying in today so no spent day for me .

    Good Afternoon Everyone,
    I was going to to No Frills after work yesterday but I was at an offsite meeting and got an email that my car was going in for service, so I back tracked to work dropped my car off and picked up the spare. Yippee I am getting my snow tires on which makes me happy. As well going to have them check the brakes as I had to slam them on last week and they made a horrible noise and almost felt like they were not grabbing properly.

    I just took a look at my list for No Frills and now feel I can skip this stop tonight and just wait for the new flyers to come out tomorrow. The only thing I can think of that really need is yogurt but I still have one container in the fridge which will get me through this week. I will be looking at next week Fruit and Veggie sales as by next week we will need some fresh items.

    I did not get too much done last night, I was feeling quite tired as I had some trouble sleeping the night before. Last night I emptied the dishwasher reloaded it and then worked on Baby number 3's blanket. Ideally I would like to have it done by the end of the week so this weekend I can just work on the boarders for all 5 blankets but not sure this is realistic as this pattern does take a bit of time to crochet up, but none the less I will aim for it and see where I am at the end of the week.

    I am starting to feel like time is flying by, we are working on year end projects at work, discussing inventory and everyone seems to be in full Christmas mood. I can admit start to get a little panicked about getting every thing done in time for Christmas now. I feel like I always tried to be so prepares and ahead but something happens and then I end up rushing around at the last minute which I hate.

    Alright well time to get back to work. Hope everyone has a wonderful day

    It's a little more pleasant to walk on cleared sidewalks today, as Ms Sunshine has been in melting mode, but that also means puddles. Since I did not bring my third leg of winter (the plastic shovel) last night, I brought it along today to help me ford windrows or skirt puddles. I had two near slips last night and I was mad at myself for not bringing my plastic shovel along.

    I have about two or three ways to do root vegetable gratins and I need to put the beets to use in one. Just need to buy some cream and some cheese (not a fan of goat cheese--might cheat and swap in pizza mix shredded cheese instead).

    Downspouts got thumped clear of ice, trash was taken out, living room got vacuumed finally (I skipped last week) and the coffee cake was made this morning after my hot chocolate was made. I had a really early breakfast-tuna fish sandwich-as I was up too early again but decided against running laundry and made myself go back to sleep within an hour. I've kitchen linens and dish towels to iron when I get home (they were laundered and hung to dry last night) and will see if anything on the grocery list I compiled got picked up by Mom (here's hoping she makes herself clean the snow off her car and go to a store...but that's why I bought some supplies on Sunday). Have not yet ventured to Walmart or LCBO for magazines-will do that before the sun sets and sidewalks ice over again.

    I'll start writing out some Christmas cards-plan is to have all cards ready for mailing next week. Stamps are purchased so I'm getting in the mood to write! Must admit I love the partridge in a pear tree International Christmas stamp-so golden and green!

    Happy to see the library's Winter Program Guide in my branch! Have to pick a couple of things to register for by Saturday (as I won't be online Friday).

    Glancing at Party City's website-some of their Frozen costumes seem to be on sale. Also there's a contest for a private viewing party of Frozen 2 (excludes Quebec); it ends today--check the link on their coupons page: https://www.partycity.com/ca/coupons

    Went out on my lunch and took a walk around RCSS for any deals. Nope. Just bought fresh hamburger buns for dinner.

    Then went home and tossed a load in the washing machine. Wrote out a chore list for DS to complete after school and before I am home from work.

    Tonight while cooking dinner I will give the fridge a quick once over/organizing/wipe down. Will cut the carrots and onions for the slow cooker. Take out the roast beef so it can thaw overnight.

    Happy Thursday!! Today is my Friday since we are at a hockey tournament this weekend that starts tomorrow. DS has a PD day which works out great that he isn't missing school.

    DS and I took a leftover burger each for our lunch today. He grabbed crackers/granola bar/apple too.

    Have a wonderful day everyone.

    I was little jittery about the public bus situation being on strike so I jumped on an early bus and there was no one on it at all. Thinking my doctor was going to be on time for once I was totally wrong he’s behind by an hour.

    I used my 7/11 rewards to get a Pepsi bottle. I have 3820 points left. It’s too cold for a slurpee or else I would’ve gotten one.

    If you go to https://zebracoupons.com/ and create a websaver account you can now get the coupons mailed out for free with the code WINTER2019. They have KIND $1.00 coupons there - I just checked. Hoping this will help you if they are still there when you go there. good luck
