Monday, pays to check the mail!

     I was able to collect $42.00 more dollars from the shop but we also spent too much money this weekend.  Frustrating.  Nothing, stupid like eating out.  Just oil change $42.00, Prescriptions $57.00, gas for car,$47.00, Groceries, $75.00.  So you see we are still in the hole.  I just need to climb out a little faster.  So as I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself the bell rang and one of my older customers brought in a flag that had been whipped by the wind.  I was writing up his card and I noticed a pile of mail Hubby had put on the ironing board, so after customer left I opened the mail.

     I received both CC bills one for studio and one for personal and we will not face those today.  A plan will be formed to deal with those when the studio opens.  For today I am okay.

     I also received a letter from the Orencia company and they paid $467.00 worth of my last doctor bill so I will only owe $20.00.  What a blessing.

     I also had two parents that paid registration and tuition for September.  $260.00 so we are back to where I was before the weekend.  Now I pray that I get many hemming jobs of 2-3 hems and I will do them before I leave.  I will make it!

     I defrosted two chickens yesterday and cut them up and southern fried them.  We had mashed potatoes,corn from the garden, biscuits, fresh fruit salad and Marion Berry pie.  I sent plenty of leftovers home with older couple that ate with us and then took a pie to one of my sewing customers who is laid up with a broken leg. 

     When we got to church this older man was teasing me about going on the trek and almost killing myself the week before.  So I told him it was too bad that I was making my famous fried chicken and biscuits and he had to go home to a can of soup.  He sincerely apologized it was so funny.  His wife has lupus and is quite ill so I really believe they were going to have Campbells.

     I won't have to cook dinner tonight as Hubby and I can eat leftovers. Have no idea what we will have for dinner tomorrow and the pantry is low.  I mean we are out of meat options.  When the studio opens I will be able to stock up.

     Just a little to do in the shop today, unless more business comes in.  I have plenty of housework, and ironing so no excuse to sit around and do nothing.  Which I have perfected to an art form.  If any one wants to get into a "sit around and do noting contest" I will win! 
    
     Out My Window:  Hot, hot, hot, garden is crazy, weeds are crazy, but I will have tomatoes soon.  Pulled about 10 lbs of sweet and red onions from the garden.  We have tons of new potatoes, cucumbers and squash.  Love my garden.  I am going to do a stir fry again as Hubby loves stir fry.

Have a great and productive day!
