Back To The Old Grind

United States
June 26, 2017 9:42am CST
After a weekend of parties, traveling and good food this morning life goes back to normal. As much fun as the weekend was celebrating my granddaughters high school graduation and a combo party for my youngest granddaughter and her dad I was happy to sleep in a little late this morning and relax with my coffee. Actually I'm not as tired as I thought I would be since I'm certainly not used to back to back days filled with activity. Now there's nothing planned until next month when we have 4 birthdays. This month and next month are expensive months for me with all the gift giving. It's times like this when I wish we could make a million dollars here The week is starting off with sunshine and beautiful blue skies. It isn't even all that hot today which just adds to a very nice day. That's what's happening in my little corner of the myLot world. What's going on with you?

Four birthdays next month ?. - that means a lot of happy spending. Well its a cool day with weak sunshine - hope it remains that way for now - too much rain recently.

Glad that you can relax now. Personally I prefer the "grind" to too many parties. Enjoy the quietness.

I have one birthday next month and then one in August to get presents for. But that's about it. Ill use my online earnings for both presents probably.

Mt month is simple and plain with the daily routines, not as expensive as yours. Even if there are birthdays coming I will be not meeting up with anyone so its simple.

That's the respite you need to charge for yet another fun filled month. Go for it.

These months are the only months that you wish you could make millions here. Imagine that traffic that you'd have to endure. Its a cool day here today, I'm actually wearing long jeans and a t-shirt and when I go out to work I'll have to put a sweater on.

That's good that yiou can relax a bit now, and that you have some nice weather. It's been lovely here too - I've been gardening most of the day.

You certainly had a busy, but wonderful weekend. Our most costly months are January to December. Lol! Our weather is so similar to yours and has been too glorious for words!

It was a little cooler this morning which I greatly appreciate. Unfortunately we've got a cloud cover. Birthday parties are fun but they do stress the budget.

That is why sometimes it is better to start planning ahead. Make lists of all the people you have to buy gifts for thru the yr and what each person likes. So then if you are out shopping somewhere, or surfing a Website online and see a Good deal, you can then maybe purchase the items early, instead of waiting until the last minute all the time.

I am glad you enjoyed your celebrations and without getting too tired. I hear the thunder right now and a great cool breeze is coming inside from the window. I love this rain.

I'm glad you have a day to relax after your busy weekend. Congratulations to the graduates. It would be nice to make a million bucks here. I just realized nothing happens in June anymore. It used to be my dad's birthday, but now that he's gone, we don't celebrate. July will see four birthdays, August one, October has a few and then nothing until next year again.

My husband is painting the basement. I am feeling guilty as I am still relaxing with coffee. I will be off to do a mystery shop later
