I did get some stuff done

Well I got alot more done here and diden't even go for a walk today. Also the Hippy called and swore it was Friday this morning. I started laughing here. Pluss he asked if I went to the movies this week. I told him no becuase I haven't left the house as of yet. So I will get more done tomarrow and I will be over at Walmart tomarrow morning. The walk will do me some good in the morning anyway. I can at least window shop and get some prices togeather once again. Now for most of the week I have only had one pot of coffee in the mornings around here. Tonight was a treat with the second pot becuase, a couple of friends came over to see how I was doing. Otherwise I have been drinking tea for most of the day during the week here. It works for me at this point in time. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

May as well today

After I get some more things done I will have my walk in today. Some fresh air will do me some good around here. Even Olliver is happy that the sun is shineing on him today. I am running somewhat behind and it's ok by me today. I will still get things done here and still cut back on cleaners and everything else. I will not do any shopping today at all while I am at it. I am safer out of the stores at this point in time. I can wait untill next week or so for now to get out to Walmart and a few other places. Well I better get a move on today and get some things done around here then take my walk since it is gonna be really nice around here today. So have fun and play hard.

Been somewhat slacking

Well Finally I get to sit down for a bit. Most of the past couple of days I have had the computer off all togeather. And yes I am still working on the list of things to do for this week of course. I did get more done today and will get alot more done tomarrow. I have no choice at this time to crack down on things here in my place. Anyway now I will have the van back here by Friday at the latest so I can do a bit more instead of walking all over. I may go out for a bit tomarrow just to get out of the can. I have been couped up since Sunday night when the Hippy left out of here. Well while it was warmer I diden't mind so much. It has also saved on the gas in the van also. And this next week I have to have the van anyway. Tuesday is a huge day for me now. Ok folks have fun and play hard I am back to work on the kitchen.

Let Monday begin

It is Monday once again. Now I get to work on my list of things to do around here. My kitchen is smacking me in the face since it needs to be cleaned up. Ok I took the lazy way over the weekend. Pluss the van is out in Collins as of now. So I will get most of the list done by the middle of the week of course. That is the nice part about haveing one car/van. I call it a car most of the time. Now I feel so much better after I got out of the 4 year slump of just not careing about squat I finally woke up and started cutting and slashing once again around here. I have began once again hard and heavy to cut the gas bill and the power bill once again. All I can do is say how I do things around here in the can. The food bill will be slashed even more once I sit down and figure what else to do with it all. Ok folks I better get started on the can so have fun and play hard.

If I diden't have some help

I would have been screwed for this week if I diden't have some help around here. I have a list that is 3 pages long for the week of things to do for chores. And a HUGE Thank You to my other Hippy And His Wife for this morning. Between the laundery and a few other things that I have done with my Hippies help today I don't know what I would have done. Of course my mind was raceing while I was out of the can as normal of what needed to be done. And as cheap as I could do everything. Almost everyone is pissed off at me at this point anyway becuase I am thinking ahead on things. Even the dog and cat are miffed at me at this point on takeing the blankets and a few other things away from them. Yes I am still doing laundery at this point of day. It was eather do the blankets or choke tonight. So I did an extra load of laundery. Now within 2 weeks it will be worse by the time I am done of course. With 2 kitchens to run still and a few other things that I have to do. I will be saveing up for another matress of course unless the poor man sleaps on blankies and the floor. OF course lay a way is an option around here and still thinking of it today for some places on a futon for the spare room. As I told my Hippy today the couch ain't worn out totally yet. If the springs aint pokeing thru then guess what it ain't done yet. Sheets are a wanderfull thing around here. If I pitched everything that was old and ratted up then I would have nothing left out of the can at all. I have learned the hard way out of life. Keep the things you know are good and will last and go from there. Unlike what the girl that I was gonna take in and the Trash that she is liveing with at this time. OK I live in 700 square feet I won't lie about that. And I live in a Trailer instead of a "Rented" home that has more room at this point and on Welfare like they do. Not all of us that live in Trailers are trash at all. I have a HUGE reminder across the street that I am not trash at all. There is no car on cynder blocks nor a sofa out on the lawn niether. Nor useless children here also. I found out here in NY State that you can open handedly you can smack a child and not leave a mark on them and not have a worry about CPS at the place also. I will admit I have been out on my own since I was 16 years of age. The State of PA will tell you that it was Child Abuse that I was married at tht age and on my own totally amancipated also. I learned from it all. I diden't turn up prego and I ran my own house pluss worked my toush off while I was at it all. The Children of today don't have a clue as to what it is like at all back in the 80's and early 90's at all. If not before then. This is why I became cheap. I will admit that I am the first one to say and try to tell anyone on how I do things around here. I started laughing at noon when Sandera Lee was on for the cheap meals today. I have her and Melissa D'Arabia Beat to a pulp for meals under 10 dollars a pop around here for 2-4 people if not more. The Hillbillyhouswife has helped on that one also. So another Big Thanks to Susanne also for some help here in the can. I have shopped around and found out that Walmart is cheaper on some things as of yesterday. Triple on some things is all I can say still. Now with the state of PA if you don't feed the children and give them what they want then you are a bad parent or gardian eather way. In the state of NY you are good as gold if you send out chores and make the children work for the privlages that they all want. I know some folks that won't feed thier children even if ya paided them to also. The children get a half a cup of what is for breacfast lunch and dinner and that is it. Some that I have sat for I have seen them clear out a dozen eggs becuase they wont get squat for dinner and lunch so they stock up for the rest of the day. Ok folks have fun and enjoy and cut out hunger while you're at it.

Just don't wanna

Well I get to run out to Collins again today. I just dont like it when they do maitanince on the tractor in the middle of winter at all. After Friday slideing up and down the hill just stinks in my book. Well if the Hippy slid on friday and he has a load in the bucket I am still wandering how I got up the hill myself here. About the only thing that kept me laughing was the shop cat. She kept running up and down the hill to see what was going on while the one machanic salted the hill down. Then the cat would mow at me like they are trying. Some cats make the best watch dogs anyway in my book. And in my household the dog and cat tag team on everyone. So anyway I was watching a commercial for Oprah and I don't feel sorry for the family that gets the computer and a few other things taken away. Yes it is hard at first to not be on the computer all day unless it is work related and the T.V. is mainly off in my household along with the main computer anyway. It was hard at first untill I got use to haveing silents in the can. Then I noticed that I started to get more done here in the can. Yes I know it does sound strange. Pluss when I got the power bill after the 2nd month of doing this my bill had droped by 40 dollars by turning stuff off also. Then after that I had an idea to get 2 more power strips for the 2 T.V.'s in the place and started turning off the power strips after that. I have also noticed that if the Hippy isen't home during the week the power bill goes down to about 80 dollars a month or less. I don't watch much T.V. and I will be the first to admit to it for my place. Now I have to keep the DVR on tonight so a movie will record. Tomarrow it will be off for most of the day along with other things of course. And I have got to the point where I even unplug the coffee pot during the day even. Some folks may laugh in what I do. It works for me to cut down the power bill. If I had enough room here I would be hanging the laundery also during the winter time also. My neighbors have asked me in how I have done it all and kept the budget. I told them I unplug everything during the day for the most part and do alot of laundery on the Off Peak hours. Yes I end up staying up late or getting up very early to get the laundery done. I was laughing yesterday becuase yesterday was an off peek day. And now I get to do more during the week this week for the one room that needs to get done. Tomarrow will be anothe busy day for me anyway. As Mondays are around here. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Well went to look around

I went out to Aldi today and some of the things have trippled that I wanted to get. So I did pass on alot of things and will wait on the trip to Walmart towards the middle to end of the month. Some things are cheaper at Aldi some are cheaper at Walmart. Well it could be worse out there. So I got about 40 dollars worth of groceries and the rest will come later in the month. Well I can say that there will be coupons with the rest of what I get also. Other than that I have been doing laundery for most of the day. Waiting on the washer more or less. I have one more load to get done and I will be done for the week. In how the dryer vent is set up it keeps the back of the can warmer.

Yesterday was bad

I had went out about 10 am figureing that the plows were already out. They were still out at 8pm after I was coming back home. The hippy got stuck at the boddom of the hill at the company lastnight. It was that slick out. All I could do was laugh at that point in time. Now for here in NY we get pretty use to the cold, ice, and snow. People were out in ditches still yesterday and the hippy thought I put the van in the ditch when it wasen't even me at all. All I can say when it gets that bad out Stay Home or really take it easy out on the roads. Pluss make sure you have blankets and some food in the car. You can cook on the block if need be. Well I can say it still took me about an hour to get out to Collins yesterday. That was the wierd part of it all. The side roads are still bad but the main roads were pretty good still. So today I have to pull double duty around here since I hardly did anything yesterday. I did get some things done here but, not enought to say I got things done. So the laundery has been started and I will start cooking here shortly also while I am at it all. It is not totally bad around here just a few touch ups and I am done. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Now I can laugh again

Well someone came over yesterday and a comment was made on the new food processor in the kitchen. And what the person doesent know won't hurt her niether on what I had paid for the new appliance. I never pay full price anyway on anything so I will let her think I paid over 200 dollars on the thing when I diden't. Coupon codes are a wanderfull thing at all times. Pluss the person was bragging up on a child who diden't need it also. This is why I only talk to the one person once a month so I don't go into overload and blow gaskets. Well after it's all said and done at this point I will keep to my place and keep the glimmer of hope that I will be out of the can and leave no forwarding address to alot of people one of these days. Anyway at this point it gave me new light on alot of things around here yesterday and that I will be ok after. I have cut and slashed here in the can and started drinking hot tea in the afternoons also. I cut the coffee to one pot a day also. Now to come up with something for dinner tonight and go from there of course while I am at it thru the day. Ok folks have fun and ply hard.

A sigh of relief

Well I got alot done today and not nearly enough at the same time. I am still ploting on what to do next of course after the table got cleaned off and a path way to the T.V. has been cleared out once again around here. I am on early with the computer I know and I needed the radio in some sorts to get me thru the day around here. May as well do double duty for the thing around here and the modem also. Besides the coupons and the free stuff that I will start looking for once again on the net. Ok folks have fun and play hard.
