I Surprise Myself.

Once again I let the weather dictate what I do today. While the sun shined the wind if strong, the warmth calls me to come but the wind blows me back inside.
I cleaned out the refrigerator freezer and I cut up chicken and froze it, made meals out of the hamburger I bought for Tony.
I had cooked a pot of pinto beans but instead of freezing those in meals I decided to can those, its been a while since I canned. I got exactly seven pints.
While those were processing I washed and dried a load of clothes and I just folded and put those away.
I swept up the kitchen floor and wiped down the counters.
I went through the coupons from a couple months and put those into the recycle bin with other papers.I realized I have not bought any coupons in a while, I reckon I am good with long term foods and do not need to use coupons at the moment.
Since it is so warm out I took a few plants back outside, the lemon tree was one.
My home is still a mess but I surprised myself by staying inside all day.
How is your day?

I need to buy a printer so I can print out coupons that we will actually use.

That is what I have been doing. You can also look up a clipping service and just get the coupons you use, I am sure of the price but many I know use that service.

@Juliaacv It is in a way, BUT I get to read so it does not seem like a long wait.

I reckon sitting in the waiting room everyday, with a book, made me feel like I was rested.

@NJChicaa I get bored with the beach, I wanna see and do things I have not. I was thinking of Utah, or somewhere mid west

@andriaperry You deserve it! You work so hard. I am stuck going when we have time off from school. I have summers off, of course, but I'd never go away during that time because I live at the beach and can spend my time there during the summer. I always laugh (and shake my head) when my cousin goes to Jamaica in June.

It has been a very quiet day of reading and watching baseball.

I am shredding and recycling. We did some shopping as well. I do not do as many coupons now as I used to. I am trying to use up the food we have, plus most of what I am buying at this time does not have coupons. I like to get digital coupons loaded on my store loyalty card. They also send me coupons, and they let me stack them.

Went thru some paperwork and yep that is about it. I need to buy a new printer to print out coupons and such as my old printer wont work with the new computer .. ugh!

@andriaperry I'm sure it is. Yard work is always more involved.

That's how it was for me saturday also. The weather looked really nice out said it was 38 degrees. I walked out to the mailbox and boy was it windy - was not expecting that. This week the weather is supposed to get better so let's hope so.
