Great gift! Its hard but I'm skipping the Gift Cards this year. No idea what to get my mom!!! But I guess RCSS will be ok so maybe a GC for there then at least I know she will use it.

Does something at Simons tempt you to get it for Mom? They also have a handmade/artisan gift portal of Quebec gifts on the store website called Fabrique 1840.

Not really. My mom is pretty simple, retired and just buys what she wants when she wants. She is practical and not one for "stuff" so try and get her useful stuff.

Good Afternoon Everyone,
Last night after work I decided to take all of my Hydro Bills for the last year and compare if we should go with Tier or TOU, according the calculator it will cost me $2.82 more to go with tier pricing. With that being said I think we are still going to go with tier pricing as hopefully at some point I will move back to working remotely which means I can see our On Peak use going up because we are home. Plus if it truly will only be $2.82 more per year that is worth it for me at least to be able to do things like laundry during the day if I am working from home.

Honestly, that was one big perk so far I have found with Hydro being the same price all the time was I could do these thing during the day and was able to not spend my weekends on household tasks. Right now working in the branches it isn't my reality but one day I daydream of being back to working remotely.

I should mention we are now down another person that not now makes us 6 people down across 3 locations, so yes right now it is just a daydream of working remotely again but I know it will happen one day.

I was so tired after work last night I could not bring myself to stop for Groceries. My store locally does not have the best sales this week which is why I was going to go last night as I had more options working out of town but oh well. I might go in tonight and see if the prices are too high I will wait till tomorrow. I really do not have a lot on my list, there really was not much on sale there interested me this week, mostly just need Mushrooms, Carrots and more fruit we are really lacking fruit but if need be I will see what next week's sale bring.

Alright time to get back to work, have a great day everyone

Bought 21 bottles of Dove body wash at SDM. With sale/coupons/point offers x 3 it worked out to .45 a bottle taxes in.

Porch pick up at today at 4. Was from the weekend but I wasn't home when she wanted to come by.
Have another one for Friday that I said I would hold the item for her. Sometimes its just nice to be nice and wait. (she didn't get her child tax credit today)
