Friday, make up post all things Thrifty and not!

 

Boy did hubs get into it yesterday.  I was really too sick to be driving but I didn't dare leave my MIL home alone.  Hubs of course did the clueless man thing.  I really think they just don't think. 

I swear I could be laying in a pile on the floor unresponsive and he would step over me and ask my corpse what is for dinner. It must be an on the spectrum thing because he just doesn't handle any kind of disruption well, plus he won't wear his hearing aids and was forcing his mom and I to holler and neither of us has a loud voice right now. 

I got to the doctor and was much sicker than I thought I was.  Doctor was upset.  She said it was a rebound infection (yeah like I have never had that before) but this also crept into my lungs.  I needed to go home and stay down for at least 16-24 hours to get anti biotic into my system.

Well mom is sick, and I did not want her getting up and walking to the bathroom by herself.  Do you think I could get Hubs to pay attention and stay on task?  Nope not a clue. I had to keep getting up to take care of her.  Finally, I txt Signe' and she showed up on her lunch break just as her dad was asking about what he could have for lunch and oh what about dinner? By the time she got done with him he was pretty mortified. I was to be left alone.  I was not to be talked to or asked any questions.  He was only allowed to speak to me if the house was on fire.  He was to take care of his mom.  She also returned after work and chewed on him some more.  Poor darling, I am trying to feel bad for him, but I just can't.

Feeling much better this morning.  My head is not exploding, and my aches and pains are diminishing. Still coughing but everything is loosening up. My breathing sounds like crinkling tin foil it is so weird.

It is Winnie (Braunwyn) and Dan's anniversary today.  Hard to believe this was three years ago.  But Oliver just turned two so that is about right. Dan is up in Spokane having his 3rd MRI this afternoon to just check on his seizures.  But we are all at peace with that now.

I did turn my phone off yesterday, something I rarely do, but still had clients show up that needed to pick things up. That was hard.

 Anyway, on with life.

I am going to take it easy today, may do a little work, but I doubt it.  I wanted to get another wedding dress out today as I had one go out yesterday, but it can wait until next week.

Here is my frugal Friday list, usually it is Thrifty Thursday

1. saved all my spare change.

2. saved all my $5 bills. $885.00 total so $55.00 this week in 5's

3. saved a $1, $5, $10, $20 bill

4. add $73.  something to my penny can for my penny savings.

5. Bought a large amount of meat on a great sale and brought it home and rewrapped it for the freezer.

6. had a neighbor bring me zucchini

7. cooked all meals from home with items we had here

8. took a mess of green beans to Oliver's party for fried green beans

9. eating, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, green beans, squash, peppers out of the garden.

10. Used coupon at Joanns

11. bought gas at least expensive station gas is now $4.19 here and dropping.  So grateful.

12. downloaded receipts to fetch

13. Found a sip n save program at a local gas station, where you pay $7.99 for the month, and you can get a free giant soda every day.  Much less expensive than even the $1 sodas at Mc d's.  Bonus for Kim

14.  Part of Oliver's birthday was clothing I had paid $1. $2. $3. for on great baby sales.  But also bought him a bubble machine.  I don't want to be the clothes grandma.

15. used my clothesline instead of dryer

Things I did this week that were not frugal

1. bought Mom a gallon of orange juice to get her calories up, and help with her cold

2. made a candy bouquet out of reeses candies for a friend's birthday

Rather a boring week for money savings, just the same old same old, but remember it all adds up.

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

Kim is going to lie down.
