I have actually eaten Mom's cooking this weekend. It was on the stovetop and well, it made lunch and dinner easier. Just have to endure a stuffy kitchen for some time and if the air is moving through the house via Mr. Wind, so much the better. We've consumed most of the Perrier Slim and La Croix drinks purchased three days ago. Have to wait on tax credit cash this week before stocking up on more beverages and bandages.

I still sometimes lean on pasta or rice for the quick-cook meals when I have no soup mix or meal plan.

This morning, I withdrew funds from my account to add to remaining cash on hand to get an online Asics shoe order done. But my size has been sold out as Asics has a Canada Day sale still going on the site. Sigh. I may have to visit Miller Shoes Clearance store this week to see if there's a pair of New Balance shoes that might fit, as I expect there won't be much to see soon due to coming closure.

Giant Tiger senior shoppers-this is 10% off day at participating stores! I got a kids' pj e-mail and the senior's day notice is at the bottom of the e-mail. GT VIP shoppers-this week there's a deal wus $50 or more on home decor, electronics and two other categories; deal ends tomorrow!

Today, I anticipate brother will cut the remaining half of the yard's grass, as I took care of the other half on Saturday afternoon. There's a fallen bird's nest to rake up and some shrubs to trim back later in the afternoon to bag for collection tomorrow. Some shrubs have really spread their branches out and I spent some time Saturday getting a few of the worst offenders. There are mulberries in three trees and I need to indulge in a handful of berries today (while wearing a dark t-shirt).

Actually had a bit of skirmish over the washing machine-I had a partial load placed inside but brother wanted to run a load of his wash too, so my things got taken out-this morning. Seldom happens but he's home for 3 weeks (I don't need more white hairs).

Plan is to cook quinoa today with some herbs to have on hand and pan-fry the last two beef burgers with smoked paprika for lunch. Need to get a list of ingredients for a salad to make later in the week-I'm lousy at planning meals and my grocery list seldom aligns with meal ideas (unless there's an intended frozen entree spree-I enjoyed Chef Bombay's pakoras and samosas last week).

Will avoid buying baby apparel this week but next week, there will be at least one item purchased. Someone knows of a favourite service provider expecting twins this year and of course I suggested one of my favourite stores for gift ideas! Maybe there's a way to get both of us in that store to browse and I'll get that one item... plus a couple of greeting cards for upcoming event gifts.

Humidity will rule Southern Ontario this week. Drink electrolytes, my friends!

Good Morning Everyone,
Up early this morning and got right to work. I can admit it, I made an opps last week. I kept seeing seeing the pricing changes for this past weekend on my calendar but was so busy I kept putting it off. Friday my phone went off reminding me the price changes needed to be process but I had not prepped them yet. So up this morning before we opened and got it done.

Today is work from home day and to-do-list feels never ending, since it is a day I can focus and not have too many distractions I have so many things I need to get done.

As for home stuff I have laundry going, the last load is in the washer. It must have been awhile since I did laundry as we seem to have a lot. Most of it is hanging in the basement but there are a few things in dryer.

I have the dishwasher half emptied, yep that sums up my day. Start something get pulled away.

Still need to figure out dinner for tonight.

Happy Monday Everyone

While I was in wm for the sausages(I just took 2 packs bb date are july 9 so not so good) and watermelon I checked by curiosity the clearance fruits rack...not appealing and price was still expensives....I saw strawberries,bananas,apples and peachs I think..It is like flashfood not so many-worthed good deals..I guess it very depends if you are lucky and where you live!

The Walmart clearance racks ensure that I pay approximately 50 cents / lb of fruit or vegetables. Even after pruning or removing over-ripe portions, I get plenty of edible flesh. Of course, I need to eat it within one or two days, but that's fine. Timing is key. If you can figure out the general time the new bags are put on the rack, you can coordinate a visit and get a good selection.

Well....my afternoon did not go as planned..and that suck!
I called back the person in charge of my file with life project and she had a bad news for me..I probably wont get paid or to be determinate after august with life project anymore and I need this money so I fight it for it...I will know more by tomorrow pm..grr
Someone at the school did not did his job the person in charge of my file before and she never meet me before school end last week to redo the paid program..I will have my money paychecks in august but after I dont know what will happen and that stress me...!

Hope it will be fine and sorted...
Have a good evening and night
per chance there is always a tomorrow..or another one!

Afternoon sky was getting a certain medium-darkening shade of blue aka warning of likely rain! I spent more than intended at Dollarama but had no worries paying for a bag in case my library items or stationery purchases got rained upon. That bag is now tucked into my smaller tote but I will ensure another bag goes into the bag tote. Good short soaking rain happened before 4pm and the air is rather humid and mostly still (not good!).

Grass was not cut by you-know-who so I cut a small section that bothered me the most and trimmed a shrub. The other shrubs will get shorn on the next fine morning early in the day.

Tried out the newer smaller Apple Makerspace computer at the library. The headphone jack is not on the back(all ports on back are tiny rectangular ones, an Apple design thing?)-it's now on the lower left side of the monitor frame. And IT Admins have turned off the computer's ability to update Google Chrome (rats!). New scanning program is loaded on the desktop (bye bye Canon program, hello Vue-Scan; I assume Image Capture is the new Image Garden but I could not get the program to detect the scanner. More play will happen on my next session).

Taxes up here too Last year too we had a jump I remember. That is on my list today. 3rd quarter is due July 20th so I will probably go pay today or tomorrow. ( I have cash so I may as well go straight to the town office and pay instead of putting the money in the bank just to pay)

[Frugalbigmama]

Rainy day here! I may as well work. Very slow start to my day, I am tired! Maybe some eggs and rye toast will wake me up

[Frugalbigmama]

What's for dinner tonight?
Rainy cold day I am thinking I should make a pasta sauce or something like that. I will dig in the freezer and pull some sauce and use the rest in the fridge. A plan for dinner!
Our fridge on the bottom of the fridge is full like usual. I really just want it cleaned out completely and empty!
