A HURRICANE~

well, it's not really a hurricane and it really isn't very powerful in Maine, (though a tree just fell down two houses down from me.) The trees are whipping round and it sounds like it does during a really bad nor'easter. without the snow (thank goodness.) I fell last night and have a huge bruise on my side, right near my last rib. That and the cough has me holding my side most of the day!

I figured a way to get some things taken care of, and it didn't involve using a credit card or robbing a bank. But by the weekend I am hoping my dryer is fixed and the Taurus as well.

I did get the kitchen looking good! Yeah! Now to find my dishes. One of my dear boys, I discovered, has been taking plates of food with him when he goes to school or out. ANd now my set of 12 dishes is down to like 4! Weird. Who the heck loses PLATES? well, I had cheap plates anyway cause my nana couldn't lift anything heavy, so I guess the time has come to consider something more grown up anyway. I mean, melmac reminds me of when I was a child.

So I guess my good thing today was taking a real look at my finances and figuring out a way to get the things we need done..done. ANd I watched a finance video that was really interesting. I am going to go visit a couple of sights that were mentioned. I am also making an appointment at my credit union with someone who will help me see the best way to handle my budget and stick with it. I want that! I am ready. I don't want to give up my cell or my cable...but I can go without takeout, coffee from Dunkin Donuts, and lunches out when I forget mine., I can also give up buying things on teachers pay teachers. I need to start making more things so I can sell them. I could make a nice income on TPT if I worked every night for a couple of hours. I want to take a graphic design class and a blog how to class. I need to vamp up my blog nd find a way to draw some folks in...

Anyway...did a few good things today to start myself on my way.

Till tomorrow
