Monday,Mending, Money saving Madness


    I have had every symptom one can have with the flu and it seems to be on its way out the door.  Yesterday was the first day with out a fever in 5 days, so that was a step in the right direction.  I had to laugh as my fit bit had less than 1000 steps on it and I usually get 10000, but it recorded 11 minutes of elevated heart rate exercise.  How was that?  I mean I have laid on the sofa or in a bed for 5 days now.  Well I decided to go into the laundry room and fold four big blankets, hang a load of laundry and take the blankets up to the linen closet.  This wiped me out and I was a sweaty mess.  Went back to laying down.  That was my 11 minutes of strenuous exercise. These activities usually don't register.  I guess my body thinks it is sick or something.

     I'm trying to decide if I will do anything today, part of me says yes, a little.  Part of me says NO!  I think my lazy self might like laying around a bit too much. Hub's is up trying to clean the kitchen, I will be grateful for the job he does, and then go spiff up after him.  (shh don't tell)

1. Used old cottage cheese containers for all leftovers.
2. Made all meals from scratch
3. all food staples and meat came from the pantry stock and freezers.
4. only purchased fresh fruit and veggies from grocer. Also bread
5. Found burger on sale for $2.19 a pound in bulk.  Bought 15 lbs and sealed it in smaller packages.
6. Picked up other beef and pork for 50% off and froze. Now meat is stocked for a while.
7.Got sick and did not spend any money:)  Well that is one way to do it.....
8. Used a visa gift card to buy toilet paper and one large pack of paper towel.
9. Found my hair die on close out bought everything they had.
10. Used my clothesline for heavy blankets and clothes

It was a kind of a bust week with this flu and I can't say that this week will be much better. I do know I am on the mend it is just that I have to take it slow and I don't do slow well.


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

  1. Oh my goodness you poor thing! Being sick is no fun, especially having the flu. Don't try to do too much, it's not going anywhere so wait until you have the strength. What part of Idaho do you live in, our son and his family live in Idaho Falls. I work in a preschool and trust me, preschoolers are the carriers of many germs haha. It's not their fault, just the parents who send them to school that way. I just got over being sick a few weeks ago.
    Hang in there!

I would like to share my experience with you guys on how I got a loan of $185,000.00 USD to clear my bank draft and start up a new business. It all started when i lost my home and belongings due to the bank draft I took to offset some bills and some personal needs. I became so desperate and began to seek for funds at all means. Luckily for me I heard a colleague of mine talking about this company, I got interested although i was scared of being scammed, I was compelled by my situation and had no choice than to seek advise from my friend regarding this very company and was given their contact number, getting intouch with them really made me skeptical due to my past experience with online lenders, little did i know this very Company "PROGRESSIVE LOAN INC. was a godsent to me and my family and the entire Internet World, this company has been of great help to me and some of my colleague and today am a proud owner of well organized business and responsibilities are well handled all thanks to Josef Lewis of (progresiveloan@yahoo.com).. So if really you are genuinely in need of a loan either to expand or start up your own business or in any form of financial difficulty, i advise you give Mr Josef Lewis of Progressive loan the opportunity of financial upliftment in your life Email: progresiveloan@yahoo.com OR Call/Text +1(603) 786-7565 and not fall victim of online scam in the name of getting a loan. thanks

  2. This has really wiped you out, but everyone I know who has experienced this flu has felt the same. Rest and recuperate then you will be back up to the 10000 steps.

  3. The flu this year is so nasty - try not to do too much, you will just end up making this last longer by wearing yourself out!!!

  5. Hey, even sick, you did a lot of stuff. When I was sick, I was able to things--the Redneck says we go on autopilot. Glad you seem to be feeling better.

  8. I really hate it when I think I can do something simple when ill, and it wipes me out and feels like it sets me back. Hey, does the fit bit measure crawling? As ill as you have been, it is not called "lazy" when you cannot function. When I just had the flu, it is worst I have ever been. Don't spiff. Let it be.

    1. The first and last time I gave blood, I had to crawl for three days. Everytime I stood up I passed out.
