Cleaned out the freezer below fridge- Thawed and cooked up 3lbs of lean beef into taco meat.
Will be great for taco salad tomorrow night.
Had a rice/bean bowl for lunch and made up 2 bowls for my work lunch Monday and Tuesday.
Now back to planting!

Good Morning Everyone,
Ugh, already a hectic day. My trainee is spending the day in another branch with someone who does the same job they were hired for. But I went to meet them this morning to introduce them to everyone.
Now, I am feeling behind, I have so much work I need to get done and today is one of those days where the emails are not stopping.
Plus, I need to do laundry today, normally by this time I am done, instead, I am just starting.
I did not get the AC units installed yesterday so I HAVE to get this done today as it looks like they will be needed later in the week.
I got most of my prep done yesterday, a few things did not get done. I will try to get to them today but, if I do not we can work around it.
I feel like I need another weekend so I can get caught up LOL.
Happy Monday Everyone

$$ out of the wallet this weekend! I made two trips to the baby show and spent some money. Was ever so grateful for the food truck selling cold drinks out front (yes I bought pop!). Renaissance Fest was also onsite and someone in attire was usually doing gate 1 duty to direct visitors to the right parking area. Great weather though a touch hot for walks.
Got 6 non-alcoholic beers (Partake brand) for $10 (only really liked the Blonde after it was chilled. was not fond of Hazy IPA or IPA or Pale varieties). Bought a baby onesie with fun message for a gift-Saturday plus 2 cold canned drinks ($4). PIcked up a magnesium drink mix sample and baby sunscreen sample at sample table.
Sunday-stayed only one hour at the show and managed to get a free swag bag-no bottles or diapers this year. Mostly cards for info or freebies with one public health card attached to a little tape measure reel. Tote did have a free Partake non-alcoholic beer. I added the other two samples to bag and have passed bag on to someone who's a new parent. Bought 3 cold drinks-drank one right away, one later and gave one to the US Renaissance parking attendant on my way out. Bought some baby gifts at one boutique and got a 10% show discount. Saw part of a doula presentation.

There will a be a June 24 repair cafe event in Burlington at the Aldershot Outdoor Market (evening event).
Days like today make me grateful I work at home. Three loads of laundry washed and on the line, including the bed linen. It's warm and sunny so stuff is drying quickly.
This evening it will be a much needed but expensive trip to Costco. DS1 is going to work out of the province for a few months so he has some stuff he wants to get before he goes. So that will be his money although I know we will help him with some of it.
Starting to pack for my 4 week trip to Europe in a couple of weeks. Just packing a carry on to save on costs. Also finally just old enough to get the seniors rate on train rides and hot springs etc. Most costs have already been pd as we are on 2 back to back cruises of France and Iceland and some remote islands like the Shetlands and the Faroe. Can hardly wait. Saving some $ by sharing a cabin with my sis and my daughter. LB
@lizzie bargain , Have a wonderful time
Went to the dentist, and some bad news.....I need to re-do two crowns as I have decay underneath. Not impressed, as I was trying to budget for two new gates so my dog can go off leash in the yard, patio regrading and a window replacement. The crowns were done in the 1990's and I'm wondering if my previous dentist didn't do a good job, or I haven't flossed as well as I should have. $2,600 with no dental coverage and on a limited income. Fortunately I can set up a payment plan but it still will be a struggle for the next few months.
Thanks @SassyAshley I will try the Kirkland detergent.
@barbis9 ouch!! That dental cost stings plenty! Considering the age of the crown's it may be possible that their time was up? I dunno. Sorry though.
Barbis -ouch dental with no coverage hurts,my dear sister-in-law age 75 needs a new crown and 5 cavities no insurance .
We had to pay 1,400 for my hubbys new tooth replacement with coverage thou but still dental should be discounted for seniors regardless.My dentist let me pay in 3 installments as when you are on a pension it only goes so far knowadays.
Had to return an amazon pkg today darn it all ,first went to the library to print the 3 pages ,then to candsa post to send it and they told me nope ups,so i had to find a ups and drive there.uhhhhh,i got it off.
Just relaxing after watching the girls til 6.00 p.m .
