I'm in the lull between SS payments. I'm caught up on everything I need. I saved $700 last month. Financially, things are going well.
I'm tackling my last bag of papers today. Progress has been slow, because I have been having to make decisions as I cull. But a glance at these papers indicate that I can throw most of them away, and I won't have to shred them either. Of course there is still that file drawer in my closet to investigate ... but it's not very large, and again, I think most of the papers will be toss-able.
GS2 delivered my groceries outside my door yesterday. Included were cans of cat food that their cat won't eat. Guess what? Iggy doesn't like it either. I will have to figure out who can use them. They haven't let me know yet what the cost of the groceries was.
I did a load of laundry, but did not go out otherwise, even though it was a nice day. I was very tired from poor sleep, and I feel much better today after sleeping in till 7! Woo-hoo!
I started a new book yesterday but gave up on it after about 30 pages. Clearly a book written for men who like a lot of action, with a lot of acronyms and detailed descriptions of weapons and what they do. Thanks, anyway. Now I am starting a thriller which is a little too thrilling for my tastes but at least it has characters I can relate to.
I ran into a review of a new novel based on Jane Austen's sister Cassandra, and I may order that. I hardly ever buy books, but I'm saving enough money in other ways that I can afford to buy one once in a while.
I made peanut soup yesterday, moving into my vegetarian phase in light of the meat shortage. I'll have another serving today and then will freeze the rest.
One of the things I asked for in my grocery order was a green pepper. I got a bag of three, so I'll need to figure out how to use them. I also got a bag of onions rather than just one. May just do some chopping and freezing. Using all my food wisely is more important than ever!

Peppers freeze quite well - I wash, cut in half, core, and put in a plastic bag. If I want less than half later, they are easy enough to cut frozen.
I think you said you had macaroni to use up. If you have tomato sauce or soup and a little hamburg, you can make a variation of stuffed peppers. I usually use rice but I have used salad macaroni too and it’s good - I think any macaroni would work. You mi.ght even be able to use tomatoes and salsa with taco seasoning for a little twist!

CB, sounds like you are making good use of your time with the papers.
