  • Latest Savings

    As mentioned, this is my 1st post on items I buy at ridiculously low prices. This time it is at Kohl’s. Kohl’s: I used to save a fortune shopping here. When they have their % off sale, I would only shop if I got 30% off. Kohl’s changed their policy about a year and a…

  • Monthly Weigh In – April 2025

    Pretty much the same, 145.2. I am eating healthier and I’m still riding my stationary bike for 2 miles. I don’t ride on days I go to the garden becausse I’m gone in the morning. That’s a habit problem I have to work on, (that I can only ride in the morning). A choice between…

  • Money and Me

    Money and Me

    I have had this blog for 3 or 4 years and I can’t believe that I never wrote about my relationship, (is that the right word), with money and finances. To start, I am very good with money and budgeting. I get that from my mother, that and yelling. Growing up we were not aware…

  • Seeing Red

    Still in NC. Yesterday started out ok, but then I saw Pete using a flashlight. He was in the cabinet under the stovetop turning the gas on, (he turns it on and off as we use it). Anyway, now he’s looking at the bottom of the cabinet and sees some red, looks at my walker…

  • Feeling Sad

    We arrived in NC tonight for a long weekend. I was excited because some of the decorating in one of the guest rooms was going to be done. After emptying the coolers, feeding Ellie, putting groceries away and unpacking I was exhausted. As usual Pete drove the whole way, unpacked the truck, flooring, beds, coolers,…

  • Hydrogen Water

    So Pete watched a podcast on Hydrogen water , (I don’t know which one), I likened it to an infomercial. Anyway he received ECHO FLASK HYDROGEN WATER BOTTLE. http://www.echowater.com The cost, $299.99! We both started drinking 3 days ago. They suggest three 12 ounce glasses a day, before or right after meals. Luckily this isn’t…

  • My Issues

    I’m not procrastinating, I’ve been out in the garden. The weather’s been in the 60’s, so I’m continuing cleaning up the beds. I wake up in so much pain, my hips are aching. Sometimes when I get up the pain shoots down my leg and I can’t stand up. I try to relax till it…

  • Issue #3 – Finishing Projects

    I’m calling this Issue #3, because of all my issues this came to mind, you’ll see why. I have lots of bins stored with decorative picks, bows, wreaths, berries, pine boughs, etc. I took them out in late October thinking I would make all these wreaths in time to sell at a Christmas fair. Well…

  • Monthly Weigh In – March 2025, Issue #2

    I’m late entering this month because we were in NC and I don’t have a scale there. Anyway, 145.4. The difference being that in February I made the decision to get serious about losing weight. Issue #2, Weight. Trying to be serious, I am no longer snacking at night. I am scanning all the foods…

  • Resolving Issues #1

    I have a lot of issues, including but not limited to: Family, my relationship, Multiple Sclerosis, AHAD, Blog, losing weight, chronic pain, etc. The last few days I’ve been thinking about all of them. I know through experience that unless you deal with your issues, figure out a way to solve them or a way…
