Thursday, the sun is sining for the moment!

   I bet you can't guess where I will be most of the day, that is when I am not running in  and out of the shop like a mad woman. I am going to take advantage of the this sun and warmer weather.   It actually got to 70 yesterday and I did try and get out, but the shop had other ideas.

     I was able to get 4 dresses altered and a good start on a very difficult 5 th dress.  I also got a vest cut out I need to complete today.  But I am going outside and will come in later to sew.  I want to get the front yard mulched and see how much more mulch I need before the sale is off.  Hub's told me the young men at church are looking for ways to earn money and are willing to come and do yard work en mass, so I might have an out for the upper yard.  I would gladly supervise them doing it versus me.

     Hub's and I took another load to the dump (land fill for weeds and such) yesterday morning and I stopped by home depot to see if they had any plants on the clearance rack but found nothing so I will wait. I am going to put some veggies out front in the big flower beds as they look nice and green and water is so expensive we might as well grow things.

     I ran to the studio to rehearse for an hour and received a cute little container of chocolates from one of my students.  They know me well.  Then home to do just a little yard work, and I found a bad split in one of my soaker hoses so I will be going to buy the parts to fix this.

     Hubs wanted to complete the missionary apartments last night so he could get the paper work sent off to the district office. As I had no cookies made up for the last three sets I found some really cute little tinfoil Easter containers mom had purchased for .50 last year.  I put assorted Easter candies in them and gave those as we did our apartment runs. So we are done for a couple of months, except for the issues that came up.  Smoke alarms that don't work, electrical and plumbing issues that have to be addressed by landlords. But hub's can take care of most of this.

     I had one little girl come to pick up her dress and she had no idea how expensive it would be. Her mother and brother both have insulin pumps and although they have jobs and insurance it seems that insurance companies are finding ways not to pay for insulin.  Insulin is $140.00  a vial and they need several every month for the two of them.  This sweet girl was trying to help keep costs down for her mom and brother. So I worked out a deal with her (so she could save face).  I felt so bad and angry with the insurance.  She is going to polish all the silver in my dining room on Saturday.  Yeah!

    I am so grateful for the fact that I have not had to argue with my insurance company about my meds.  One is $3789.00 and month and the booster drug is over $800.00.  I just picked up the booster last night but my main drug was not in as the pharmacies don't stock anything that expensive .  You have to go in a order and pick up within 48 so they are not stuck holding that amount of money.

     Butter is $1.99 a pound limit 2 so I made Hub's get two last night and I bought two. I will go back several times.  I asked if this was okay and store people said it was fine as long as it was only two a transaction.  I am just using up the last of the butter I bought at Christmas.

    Well I am off to get dirty and I am so excited.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
