My Frugal List: Week of March 18, 2019

Image
I ended up hurting my shoulder this week. Of course it was my right one and I am right handed. That made it so I barely slept and my neck was hurting too. I went to the chiropractor and he did some adjustments and told me to take it easy for a few days. I guess he doesn't know it is time to plant my seeds. Thankfully my son was able to go to Home Depot with me to get 2 bags of top soil. Hubby was nice  enough to get me my seed trays down from the loft in the shed. I did get 2 trays of seeds planted. I did 3 kinds of tomatoes, 4 kinds of peppers, eggplant, and celery started. I still have a bunch more to do and I need to get into the garden and plant peas. But if I do too much my shoulder will get worse and I don't want that. I have done this before so I know I have to take care of it.  YD needed more GF muffins. I made banana chocolate chip.  Hubby came home for lunch while they were cooking and wanted to have one. He can't because they have dairy in them...

Things that are making me HAPPY!

My kids are coming home tonight. I cannot wait. I have missed them so much. They are going to be super tired and want to sleep but I am going to kiss them lots anyway. They have had an amazing adventure. I am so grateful to my sister for taking them to Italy. They got to see old friends and make new ones. I cannot wait to see all of the pictures. The ones they have sent are amazing.  Free Money! I found this $20 bill under a bush in a parking lot. Hubby says I can spot free money a mile away. I feel bad for whoever lost it but I am happy that I am the one who found it. Into the driveway fund you go.  Foraging. There is a plot of land a block from my house. It has raspberry bushes on it. I went after work today to see if they are ready and they are. I picked 1/2 a pound. They are very small this year. Maybe because of the high temps. I'm not really sure. They are delicious. I will be going the next few days to see if more are ready. I'm hoping to get more. Fr...
