I was able to go to the bank today and pay $1000 on the principle of the house loan. That was my goal for the month. Actually for the next several months. It took a lot of determination not to spend money on anything else besides what we really needed. I wanted to see if we could have enough in the bank at the end of the month to do this if I was a very careful. Well it worked. Now I just have to make it work again and again.
Hubs and I went to Lil sis's last night and had dinner with her and her boyfriend, then we played a dice game . It was fun. They are in our bubble so to speak. We had sushi from Red Bento. It has been a long time since we ordered anything like this and it was nice.
Hubs worked at the high school today for the first time all year. I took him down lunch about 12:30. I had the dog groomed for the first time in is life and what a difference. The groomer said she got 1 1/2 garbage cans of undercoat off him. He looks like he lost 10 lbs. The cost was $45.00 and I gave her a $5.00 tip. I know he feels much better and his shedding will be way down cutting down on the amount I have to clean and vacuum.
My son in law came and hung a huge mirror that the kids bought me for Christmas for my shop. It is very nice and then he had to install a new kick stop for the door. He brought down the Schmills and Kelsa and Kelsa is staying the night with us. We will take her to church tomorrow. It is a 5th Sunday meeting, so you can put your name in to go until the quota is reached.
I can't beleive that tomorrow is the last day of the month. It seemed like it took forever and then it seemed like it was gone in a flash. I think Covid has us in a time warp. Time is either drag gin or rushing by depending on the mood.
I am thinking of doing a pantry challenge for February, where I do no grocery shopping except for salad fixings and absolute necessities. There are a few more bills due in February than normal so I want to be able to stick to my goals and pay the extra bills. We are also going to our daughters in the middle of the month.
Is anybody up for a pantry challenge? Do you want to set up some rules and we can post what we cook? Maybe share a few recipes? Share a few experiments or disasters? Let me know. I think it would be fun.
February 1st is Monday what can you pull from your pantry and freezer to make a meal for Monday?
Actually as it is Sunday I had better pull something from the freezer for Sunday dinner. Hmmm....
Kelsa is crying cot to go.
Have a blessed Sabbath.
