Weekly Wrap Up 1/18

 Hello to all and happy Sunday!  I hope you are all safe and healthy and warm. 

We are now half past the midway mark of the month - it is flying by.

It is a cold morning here.  In the teens and only going into the 20's today - but dry.

I was looking at a weather calendar for this month, and it doesn't look too bad, until the very end of the month - and then it looks terribly frigid!  I hope that all changes before then.

This week has been a 'just doing' kind of week.  Taking care of the home has been my job.

My frugal week:

• I met with my financial guy here at the house.  Things are good
• I cut my hair here at home
• Did several little repairs
• I did get to work outside in the yard a little over 2 days
• I waxed the cabinets and all the wooden furniture
• Did a bit of baking - cookies that go in the holiday bags for kids, and baked goods for today's gathering
• Paid all bills I had over the phone
• Pretty much finished the 'deep' cleaning of the main floor (basement is another world!)
• I did run to the store for slider buns and street taco tortillas this week.  I also got a few fresh veggies - that is it

Meals this past week: (kept it simple)

L/O mac & cheese in a quesadilla and a salad

Big omelet in a tortilla wrap and sausage patties

Smoked sausage sandwich and veggies

Big salad, l/o rice

Baked spaghetti (made in air fryer), veggies

Baked spaghetti, fruit

Steamed broc./cauliflower, smoked sausage

There you go.  Just getting my home in order as I can.  I need to get busy on that basement after a few days of rest.  Also need to work on the extended pantry and reorganize and clean it all.

Lots of indoor work can be done during the winter, so that we stay productive and active.

Today is my family gathering here with my niece and nephews.  I so look forward to it.  Everything is ready - spent a lot of time yesterday getting food started or made.

I may not be back on to answer comments until tomorrow - depends on how tired I am tonight!

I wish you each a safe week and please stay healthy and warm.  If you are getting bad winter weather stay safe.

Blessings to you and yours from me at my humble little home.

This is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalms 118:24

Lord, I pray that we are thankful for all that we receive each and every day.  That we realize what gifts You present us daily.  Thank You.  Please continue to lay healing upon each person that is need. So many need Your healing touch in so many ways.  Prayers for our country and our world.  AMEN
