Shaking my head

Ok with alot of what has been going on here totally no wander in why I forget things here in the household totally.  The good part of it all is that I can still get things done when need be and I told my Husband in the afternoon over the phone nothing will be done here and go ahead and start screaming now it will not help ya out at this point in time.  Ok so I was in a mood to do squat here in the place yesterday and that is what I did squat.  So now at this point in time today will be somewhat busy here and that is fine by me at this time.  It will help make me forget another headache that is on me here again.  I guess that is part of the reason why I am willing to go thru another surgery.  Anyway at least with today there are things that will get done here on the cheap and my Husband will see this out of me again for the second time this week for the household.  So now with that being said here there is always things that need to be done in the household nomatter what goes down.  Since nobody is here to waste things on me anymore and I did try to get it thru some thick heads at the trailer it did not work at all.  This is why I have been saying that things have been sticking around in the place for the past several months also.  With prices going up all of the time still to this day here this is why I have been cutting down on alot of things between the trailer and the house here.  The trailer was a trial run and the house has been a good run for the most part in the past 11 months also.  With the dryer not going constantly and I can shut things down more often than not also in the place that part has helped out.  Then to switch over alot of the soaps and cleaners have also helped out around the place while I have been at it all.  This is what some have not got about in what I have been doing at all now and wanted to come back to see what was going on.  With the Ajax dish soap and what little cleaners that I have left under the kitchen sink at this time it will work out for at least 6 months here totally.  By the time I run out of cleaners here for the place I will still have enough bleach to do some damage for cleaning.  This is why I have been trying to get the back stock in the house here totally so I do not have to run out to the stores everyday nor once a week here for things that are needed.  I guess that has made some people mad that know me in what I was doing at the time.  Also now since I do have some things here in the household still that I can cook with here while I am at it all the people that were mad before have not realized in what I can still do with what is left here in the household at all.  Since I have ran out of eggs here I will get up enough nickles to get a dozen and make meatloaf tonight for dinner for the place.  The leftovers will get cut up thin here for tomarrow and get fries on top of it along with gravy here for the 2nd meal.  The funny part about what I am doing now is that one of my sisters could never ever make a meatloaf to save her toush nomatter what she did.  So what I would do is take what was undone in the middle put it into a fry pan cook it the rest of the way with baked fries and slap gravy on it for dinner or supper the next day and had others drooling over what I made.  Pluss thanks to some places that I shop at for the 5 for 20 dollar deals for other meats here it helps out.  This is where it comes in knowing in what to do with the odds and ends of things for meal ideas totally.  Since I will be stocking up on soups again here for the household for Febuary so I can at least eat something that will slide down it shoud not be that hard at all. 

Plotting for the day

Here I sit and I am still ploting for the day in what to do first. Also I am thinking for dinner tonight. Well to say the least I am not sure of what even sounds good at this time since it is still early around here. That is the nice thing about being stocked up on food not sure on what to fix on the weekends around here. The Hippy started laughing when I pulled a whole chicken out of the deep freezer. He makes this face and starts flapping his arms. All I could do was shake my head about it. Since we do not pick up stakes at the store at all it takes a huge bite out of the grocery budget. With the bird today I will stuff it and add lemon juice to the stuffing for something differant. It could be worse. When some folks say oh I have very little in the fridge and freezer guess what, I can make a meal out of what they have for a huge family. Pluss have left overs for them also. This is also why I say eat the left overs also. Now I know with my one niece her Mother in Law will have a freezer baggie to store like one stuffed shell and a few other odds and ins that are left. What is nice about that is when you get company over all you have to do is pull several things and watch everyone fight for something that there is just one of. I would get a kick out of it myself. Even if you dug out the left overs once a month or so to get a full meal out of the little things that are left it is food. I know some people who do not like the leftovers at all. In my can eat it or starve dang it. That is how I operate and always will. Also it helps to keep the grocery budget down while you are at it. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Cooking once more

Girl scout stew other wise known as shepards pie. Pluss the girls will be here at anytime for dinner. Rock bottom prices for dinner I can do it. As a great friend of mine will say I am the cheap one out of the bunch. She is so right in that one. All I can do is laugh about it all now. Well I will ask my self can you eat that with everything that I purchase anyway. One of the small things that I ask myself. I got alot of the bakeing done and will do more tomarrow of course becuase it will be another day. I have to keep my great girlfriend in shape and her chin up after all of the mess that has went on in the past almost 2 weeks here. There is the light after a dark road after the loss of a spouse eather way. Good friends and alot of other things to go along with it all, one of my girlfriends will make it thru eather way. As I get cheaper by the day and with me showing her in the part that I have tried pluss the poor girl knows that I am by her side eather way nomatter what she desides in what she does in her life. Anyway I did get out for about an hour today while I was at it all. With the wind it was so cold outside without a block in place that it smarted my nose and eyes. I had to fill the tires as normal thanks to one auto shop here where I am at. And while I was out may as well take in the cold air and a few other things that are out in the world. Even though it was for about an hour I feel better after I got out.

Well another day of cooking

I am trying to figure out what to have for dinner tonight once again. I am not use to haveing people here in the can with me. Normally when I am alone I eat alot of soups and now going back to cook for at least 2-5 people once again. And I have been cooking alot of rice also in the past week. I told one person that I won't scare him to bad around here. He started laughing becuase he knows what all that I do here to be cheap. Well after everything is said and done the guy is learning on my nasty habbits of what I do to be cheap and to keep the bills down. Some of them are gonna rise and that is how it all goes. When I got back from Walmart the other day the Hippy and another person was in shock becuase I picked up alot for what I did spend over there. All I could do was laugh and grab a few bags to bring them into the can. The man I took in was in shock becuase I just started grabbing laundery up also while I was at it all. I still need to tell him about the one laundery deturgant that is going on for next week. I have the last good bottle of the Aldi Tandle deturgant before they switched the formula on everyone. I will be thru with that by next month or so then to switch back to the Purex.

There is so much to do here once again becuase I did slack off for a week. So I will be working for this week to catch up on what I diden't do. It is hard when you get behind on the housework as I found out the hard way. Also what amazes me is that it piles up fairly fast. Let's see what I can get done for today. Between the cooking and the cleaning. Have fun and play hard.

Finally

I finally got the walk this morning after a long night. Well I may have said before Olliver (the bird) has siezures. He had one at 2:30 A.M. and once again at at 9:30 A.M. I can see where my day is going to end up today. The spats are getting farther apart now after almost 6 months of haveing him here. The previous owner never said anything to me about it at all. Never get a bird from Leona Cox at all. So now that has been said the siezures are down to once a month now. Ollivers diet has improved also. He eats more and has totally filled out since I have got him. And no other bird is dive bombing the poor thing when he tries to eat and drink now. After I took away the bitters and tonic Olliver has done well around here. Pluss I can pick up the poor baby with my bare hands at this point in time also. Leona gave all the attintion to the other bird that was in the cage with Olliver. So for the past 6 months I have been working with him. Olliver has came along way since the biteing stage he was in when I first got him. Anyway now with the walk that I took this morning it did me good in so many ways around here. I also got to clear my brain for all the crud that I had dim light on. Now I have regained my since of doing things here in the can and I like it now. Pluss now since I have a clear mind I did do some thinking on the walk that I did take also. I am so thankfull for alot of good friends around me at this point and telling me it is O.K. to be totally mad at somethings that have happened. Last night was a huge help with 2 good friends coming over to see me. We all have been so broke for so long that both of them understand why I am cheaper than most. And why I had chicken swimming in crud for dinner tonight. ANd yes I do have alot of chicken and need to get more here shortly. Pluss the rice doesen't hurt niether here in my place. I can get rice over at Walmart cheaper than any other store here in NY State at this point in time. It is about 10 dollars for a 20lb bag. So now that I know that most of the stuff is cheaper at Walmart to go grocery shopping at at this point I may as well. Pluss Walmart is within walking distance from the can here. I was ther within 5 min becuase the ice is built up on the pathway and the roads here in the park. The SlumLoards don't care one bit if they all get a lawsuit against them at all. Awfull funny that my driveway is clear and so is the parkinglot at Walmart and Sabre Park is ice covered in the streets still. Anyway I did get prices this morning while I was at the store and was basicly alone at 8 am. That is how I find alot of the good deals on meats for the can. I yank them back in the deep freezer also. Go early in the morning and you get the best prices also. What happends is they discount the meat that is about ready to give up that is not already froze. Alot of us that are totally broke will pick up the meat and run with it then divide it up to portions for the household then put it in the freezer for later use. I will say that the Hippy and myself do not make 75 grand a year at all. I do also streach out and go without when at all possible here. If the undies and socks pluss towels are holding up I do not buy them at all. And yes I have had to buy slingshots at times becuase I have eather worn them out or they totally break also. Well I dont feel like I am dressed untill I have my undergarments on. Pluss I don't buy cute outfits at all only becuase I can't afford to at all. I am lucky to have 2 pairs of jeans that fit me and a couple of pairs of dress pants that fit also. Otherwise I hardly go out and most of the time people have to grab my ponytail to get me to go out someplace. We all still laugh about it today. For Holloween yes I did go out and had fun only becuase a friend got up and played with the band. My other Hippy as I call him. He got everyone on the dance floor and kicking up thier heals. I thought it was very cool that a special needs woman was there also and I took her under my wing. She danced untill she could dance nomore that night. She was no older than my Baby Brother with Autisum. I told here I needed another sister and she was the one. I still think of the girl every day since October of last year and hope she is doing well with everything. My baby Brother still asks how is Sissy doing. He started calling me that when he was about 10 and I never coreccted him on it at all. I still call my baby brother bubbs to this day. Even though he is 6'5 and over 200lbs. As I say all of my brothers and sister are my favorites. They have no choice in the matter. Even the other hippies wife I adore dearly. I started laughing of when she asked for a recipie from me so her hubby could make it for thier place. Well she can't cook worth a lick and it all turns out. Anyway I better get going so I can start on the house work here. Have fun and play hard.

Looks like a bomb still went off

Now I realize my kitchen is still small here in the can.  When I can start tripping over things in the kitchen becuase I havent moved anything hardly at all.  And was waiting on the Hippy to help just enough to get the boxes of stuff out of the kitchen and put someplace else diden't happen niether for this morning.  So I guess I am stuck doing it all for this week once again.  Between the cooking and the cleaning for this week I do not know where to start at all around the can.  Part of my problem is that I need a clean kitchen to start dinner for the weekend and big huge meals.  What is it with men sometimes on when they see you start in on something and say well I was about ready to do that.  Well I have been trying to get really cheap in the kitchen anyway and some folks do not help me on that part at all.  I just don't like it when someone else starts cleaning anyway in the kitchen for me.  So I do alot on my own anyway but, to have some help would be nice every so often.  Pluss I caught the one of the cooking shows on planet green.  How to utilize a small kitchen and save water and power.  I always have some kind of stock in the kitchen anyway and it helps to cook more than you can even think about.  I can say that I have done the double duty in my kitchen for so long that it doesen't even bother me anymore on how I cook.  This is why I still like my rice cooker and a few other appliances for my kitchen.  The poor rice cooker has done tripple duty since I have got it.  Between the rice and heating leftovers also and both combined it works great.  Now since I am alone for 5 days a week I eat alot of soups and rice in the winter time.  And now with the sandwich maker I can have soup and sandwiches without a problem also.  With the sandwich maker I can cook chicken chop it up and a few other stuff with it and I have a hot sandwich in no time flat.  That is the fun part going after the left overs in my place.  You never know what combination that you can come up with for anything.  Well I grew up on leftovers anyway and some folks haven't.  With the leftovers in my house it saves me from cooking all week while I am at it.  That is why some folks hollar at me is becuase I do think ahead most times.  Like I care of what they think of me not pulling form both freezers during the week anyway.  As long as I cook for the Hippy who cares what I eat during the week.  Now alot of times all I do is cook enough rice for a meal and reheat the leftovers in the rice cooker.  And 20 min later I have a full meal without a problem.  Not alot of folks like leftovers and shame on them at this point in time.  With groceries being high as they are may as well eat leftovers if there is any left from dinner.  Now I know sauce is better the next day instead of the first day that it was on the table.  In my place I will cook the sauce and freeze alot of it for the coming weeks and months.  Just like chili also it works for my place.  There are alot of leftover ideas.  And new ways to make the leftovers the next night that the other have wont have a clue unless they all look in the fridge.  Now the Hippy that is here with me he just dosen't care what I do with the leftovers at all.  There are times when we both say geez not chicken again.  Ok folks have fun and play hard today housework is calling me again.
