Today I'm working on getting ready for the brunch tomorrow. So far I've cooked off the sausage and veggies for the egg casserole, and I've made the creamed onions. I still have quite a list of things to do today, and then there's the last-minute list for tomorrow morning.
Two challenges. I have to go to the grocery store again for food I neglected to get, after making a big trip yesterday -- and I'm not feeling good. Yesterday I was wiped out after the grocery store trip. I thought I was just tired, but now I'm starting to wonder. I'm very, very tired today. It might have to do with my sleep being interrupted for so long a time now. My new cat is like having a newborn baby. Except I can't feed and diaper him to make him happy.
My groceries were a little over $100. I figure I'll spend about $20 more today.
MY DIL made corned beef and cabbage soup for dinner yesterday, and I brought another serving home.
I ended up spending $3 on laundry yesterday. My variables spending right now is 13%. Bear in mind I'm working with a smaller amount to divvy up among the categories, but being this scrupulous will save me in my gap year.
I heard from my man friend yesterday! I was concerned that I always seemed to be the one initiating contact, so I decided to let it ride, see if he really wanted to keep seeing me. The last time he emailed me, I didn't answer -- of course, partly because I was so busy getting my work done and getting ready for Christmas. Yesterday I got another email without any prompting from me. This is big! I'll let him sweat a little longer and answer later in the day. I do plan to go up and visit sometime in January, but he doesn't know that yet.
Today's menu:
Breakfast: Fried egg & sausage
Lunch: Tuna salad sandwich
Dinner: Corned beef & cabbage soup
