Happy April 1st!

Feels like everyone is on weekend mode already! I am getting my stuff done as it comes in which is nice...Hoping to tackle a clean up/organize project this afternoon. I have a laundry basket of papers that need to be sorted and boxed.

Kitchen is clean. I will prep my food to start cooking at noon. Have a pretty good routine going (easy when I am home)....Looked over the new sale flyers and lots of good veggie deals to keep my meal planning going for cheap!

Going to do my hour walk today...to RCSS. Then I can walk around the store and see if they have any of the new coupons out. Will pull out a new pair of runners tomorrow morning and wear around the house for the day to work them in. Then I need to toss a few old pairs.....

For anyone who is unaware of this, it's possible to preview your incoming personal offers before deciding which ones to save. I'm in ON, and since the clocks changed, I can see what's coming at 10:30 PM my time. Before then it was 9:30.

Good Morning Everyone,
Yesterday was another busy day.

Originally our plan was to go and pick up something Mom ordered but her good hip was trying to pinch so she decided it was best to not go out.

I was going to loop over to Costco to grab a few things but since we did no to get her package originally I was not going to go to Costco but by the time my work day ended I decided I need to step away and I heard Costco got more of the cooling pillows so off I went.

They had the pillows, Mom has not tried hers yet and I could not decide if I wanted one to two for my bed so I bought two. If we end up with an extra I will ask if any family members want the extra one.

Costco has a set of dishes on sale and I have been looking for new dishes, our current set, well we have lost a few to breakage and then a few weeks ago another one chipped and I decided to it was time to add this to my watch for list. Who knew dishes were now so expensive, since most now come in a 16-pack I would need to buy two and I wasn't planning to spend over $100 on dishes. Costco had a set on for $29.99, originally I did not want white but I saw them I liked them and I bought them. Bonus it comes with 2 sizes of bowl instead of a mug which works for me as we do not need anymore mugs in this house.

They also had one of those little hand held scrubbers on sale, Amazon sends me the Rubbermaid version all the time but the cheapest I have seen is $40, this one is not Rubbermaid but was $21.99 so I grabbed it.

Then for why I really went, I got Frozen Broccoli (on sale), Frozen Corn, Frozen Veg Mix (Broccoli, Cauliflower & Carrots), and Chicken Bites. I needed a freezer stock up.

I also grabbed Allergy pills and some Arthritis pills Mom takes. The Allergy pills used to to go on sale for $14.99 but Costco has now just lowered the price, can't beat that price for 200 pills as someone who takes them daily year round.

Today is a day full of meetings, literally back to back to back to back but I also need to grab some groceries which is why I went to Costco last night because I knew I needed frozen stuff so I couldn't shop my way back. Should be a busy one.

Happy Thursday Everyone.

Good day!

I popped out this morning to grab a few groceries to keep me/us on track for the next few days.
Then came home and prepped my meal at noon (which I just ate) and prepped my breakfast for tomorrow and my afternoon snack today and tomorrow.
Heading to my mom's for the night for a visit (she is lonely ) She called me last night and I didn't hesitate to say I would come down today...
Will take her grocery shopping and then to the casino for a bit and a bite to eat. She likes that outing...it will probably get busy but we can see how it is. Personally I would rather not eat there but we can decide tonight. I'm sure it will be busy everywhere!

Have a wonderful Easter Weekend everyone!

Final Update About this Stupid (&())( Car Accident And It Is All Negative

Yesterday the woman in charge of the claim called the Witness neighbor.
She confirmed the other guy driver was doing speed.
But she confirmed the cops and the guy version that my father did pass on a red light.
Today the woman in charge of the claim called my father.
So ....my father lost is claim.
The woman neighbor she ring our bell and explained to my father she was just trying to helps him....
She said she was behind my dad when this happened....

The witness neighbor was trying to helps my father but involuntarily she was against my father.

Noneless to say my father is not agree with that...

So even in Small Claims Courts he will lost.

I am so frustrated...I cannot even describe it..

I am not mad about my father ...but just in this whole problem situation

I did not eat dinner....

I am just so pissed and frustrated....(*&(*&(

I offer my father to pay the repairs with my small money.

I dont know what we will do.

I am devastated....

Such a badluck....curse

End of this story.

I will do nightmares this night...

Good Morning Everyone,
Another super busy day yesterday, I was in back to back to back to back meetings. At one point I had to kick people out of the boardroom so I could join my next meeting.

Needless to say I ended up in the Office way later than I planned and had planned to grocery shop my way home. I really wanted to just come home but since everything is closed today I forced myself to do the shopping but I did only go to 2 stores.

At Food Basics I got: 3 x Broccoli, 4 x Mushrooms, 1 x Peppers 4-pack, 1 x Lemons 2lbs

Next was No Frills, I got 2 x Romaine 2-pack, 1 x Strawberries, 1 x Garlic 3-pack, 2 x Peameal, 2 x Beef Roast, 3 x Breton Dill Crackers, 1 x Breton Rosemary Crackers, 4 x Sour Cream, 2 x Fries

Everything I got was on sale except for the Garlic.

By the time I got home put the stuff for the fridge and freezer away and talked to Mom it was 7 and I needed to make dinner so I just make Chicken Alfredo, I needed quick and simple.

Today I have a million and one things i should be tackling but I am so tired. But with that being said the Kitchen is a disaster so I at least need to take care of that and then we will see where the day takes me.

Happy Friday Everyone.
