    Machka - I’ll make you a generous offer, for airline tickets and a two week vacation I’ll come organize your papers. That’s what friends do! 😂

    Given that most personal organisers charge about $120/hour, if one worked 35 hours a week, that would be $4200/week or $8400. I could probably fly you here and put you up in a hotel for about $4000 ....

    Your offer is generous! :grin:

    Kim - I don’t know if you could ever say your job is boring. That’s more than I would want to do sewing with chickens period, never mind dead ones. The cleaning I could handle. My first paying job that involved taxes being taken off was cleaning a motel. There were some interesting finds in there as a 16 year old.

    Lisa - that must be such a relief for you!

    Heather - I have suffered from depression in my life too. Yeah understand exactly what you mean about being thankful for every day. Thank you for explaining the TV license to me. We have high fees here in Canada for cable too.

    Walked on the stairstepper today. The plan for tomorrow is to do Amy Dixon’s Give me 10 DVD since there’s a speaker at a Newcomer meeting that I’d like to go to.

    After exercise, went to the post office to mail some packages since yesterday they were without power. Then stopped to see if Big Lots had Vince’s bread which they didn’t then got money at the ATM. Home and made biscuits. I tell you, with Jess here and now Colby, we’re going thru a lot more food. Tonight I’ll take Jess (and Colby if he’s here) out to dinner.

    Kim – out of curiosity, what do you do with the chickens that have died? Bury them? Can you?

    We don’t have Netflix (really, don’t have the time to use it to make it worth it) and the kids aren’t happy – especially Denise. Jess doesn’t seem to mind, she usually plays her game on the computer anyway.

    I usually do the food shopping but one time when the kids were little Vince took them. When they got to things like “fruit roll ups” Denise said “oh, daddy, we need those” “does mommy buy them” “oh yes”. The truth of the matter was that I would only buy them if they were on a real good sale and I had a coupon. But the kids wanted them so daddy thought he was doing the right thing!

    KJ – I’ve found that sometimes when something is on sale with my coupon it’s actually cheaper than the store brand. That’s when we get name brand. Unless there’s something that only the name brand will do. Like Vince only likes Jif pb, to me it has to be Hellman’s mayo or nothing (absolutely no Duke’s), has to be Cheerios not the store brand, but store brand of frosted mini wheats is OK, things like that. You always have such neat things you do with the kiddos. Oh, poor Trentin, his mom, and you. I do hope it’s the meds.

    For a while I was into cardio where I looked forward to it, then it was weights that I looked forward to, then cardio, now I’m in a weights mood where I look forward to that. But I still do that cardio

    Beth – happy belated anniversary

    I love grocery shopping – comparing foods, nutritional content, price. But not with Vince. He wants to go in the store, pick up what he needs, and get out. Not me….

    One time I ordered things from WalMart pick up. I didn’t realize there was a place where I could mark that substitutions were acceptable and they substituted buttermilk pancake instead of regular. I didn’t know it, but Vince actually prefers the buttermilk so we kept that. Another thing was I wanted the smaller bottle of alcohol but they sent us the larger one. When I called to tell them, do you know that they gave it to me for free! Not like I couldn’t use the larger bottle, I’d just prefer the smaller one since I don’t use it that much

    JR – LOL hubby app. I most time will give Vince the wrapper from what it is I want.

    Margaret – I THINK we have a wool carpet in our living room and one in the kitchen. Does wool “pill” and you have to vacuum it frequently?

    Margaret – beautiful paintings

    Barbara – one of the food stores around here has these cup holders on the carts for your beer. Yes, they sell cups of beer that you can drink while you’re shopping!

    Debbie in VA – (((HUGS)))

    Karen – when I get my colonoscopy, that’s the ONLY time I ever drink Gatorade. Now I think you need to use this prep stuff that the doc orders. Why we can’t just use the Miralax stuff is beyond me. It was OK before, what changed?

    Kelly - sorry to hear about Trentin, I hope everyone is ok. It’s a shame to lose the income but I don’t blame you. I would stick to my guns too.
    I think any child in your home has a step up for preschool. You teach them so much.
    Just read your update on Trentin, I hope he gets help fast.

    Beth - Happy Anniversary! I hope your son’s home gets their act together soon. How difficult this must be for you and for him.

    Terri - love the poem

    Rori - we rented most of our married lives, when we first bought I painted our main floor trying to add some colour to my life. It only lasted for 2 years before I scaled it back and went with a really pretty cream colour. I found it easier to decorate and change my colours with pillows and artwork with a neutral palette. Now I have a grey living room that has been bugging me. I won’t be surprised if that doesn’t change before much longer.

    Margaret - nice paintings!

    Rita - I would be panicking if I were you. I am in a panic when I only have to wait a couple of days for a pay. No wonder you are in a funk.

    Barbara - we need to do some major Reno’s to our 1970’s single wide trailer. Money isn’t there to do it though. I’m so sorry about Scooter, hugs to you.

    Debby - prayers for your daughter that she gets away safely and finally. This brings a tear to my eye as I remember helping a very dear lady leave that situation and it was so tough.

    Kim - I love genealogy, I had written a book with my cousin that just passed away. Another cousin and I are trying to get it updated now. The story tellers are leaving us in fast drives it seems. You are smart to stay out of the heat. It will be a few more weeks before we find out what happened to my cousin but her Aunt believes it may have been heat stroke. We are so cool here that leaves are starting to change colour and fall. :( way too early.

    Babrbie - out tv and internet bill is considered our entertainment budget too. Very few opportunities for us to travel or do anything.

    I worked on organizing my office today which took getting my supervisor organized so that all of the stuff in my office that goes with her new role was moved as well. I shredded 9 bags of old documents out of 2 bookshelves. Tomorrow I have 3 more filing cabinet drawers to go.

    Tonight I went and printed some wedding photos off to display on my clean bookshelf. They will make me happy. I’ll share them in a next post. These are the photographers work.

    My hip is in agony tonight. About 5 more weeks before I get benefits so I can start physio.

    Michele and Tracey thank you!

    Our carpet has no nap so it does not pill. I do notice when I vacuum it does fill the canister with fiber. I only need to vacuum it every two weeks. Only thing I spilled on it was water which I soaked up quickly and it dried fine.

    Tracey love the wedding photos.
