November 20, 2016...


    Having a perfectly lovely day doing nothing. I should be out pulling weeds and covering it with top soil but I have no money. I'm tired of having no money. I need to get off my butt and start doing some of the paid writing jobs in my time at home. I could use my sitting on Netflix wasting my life time.   Some of them that I have seen pay 20 a month some are 50 and up.  If I could get a few a month I could have some extra money to get bills paid and a savings built up again.
    The weekend goes way to fast. Last night we had my work Christmas party. It was pretty good. It was at the Hilton and we had Chicken, roast tips, mashed potatoes, vegies, salad and cheesecake or chocolate mousse cake. That one was too rich for me but the cheesecake was delicious.  There was a magician but I didn't think he was as good as the hypnotist they had last year. He was awesome.  I got picked in the drawing and got $100 gift card. We then went to one of our friends Birthday/house warming party. He was pretty toasted by the time we got there.  They have a lovely house. It has a castle in the backyard for the kids made of wood. It has a huge yard and space for a garden. We are happy for them.
    Got home late and slept in til almost noon. I have done laundry and got a roast in the crock pot but otherwise haven't done much of anything. I worked out a little bit but get frustrated at how quickly I run out of breath. I am so out of shape. I need to keep at it if I want to see results though.  
    Thanksgiving is this week and we have the Kern clan coming over as usual.  It's MiMis birthday on the 27th so I probably should bake her a cake, either that or I'll make B and J make some like they did last time we had the combo party.  We will be serving dinner for about 25 or more people and I hope we have enough time to get all the food. I'm praying I get paid a day early so I can go to the store and get the vegies and whip cream and more pies to feed everyone. I have already bought the rolls and a few pies, plus the olives.   Holidays are so expensive. Hopefully I'll somehow win some more gift cards in the next couple days.   I may at this point be able to get K's entire Christmas free with the gift cards I have saved so far.
