So, did you spend last night tossing and turning and worrying about the world--- or your bank account-or, will you be able to stretch your dollars to get to the dentist next week--AND buy bananas to-day?-
-Why do we worry so much?----It always works out in the long run, and we do know that really, but---(that big "butt" again-)----why is "budgeting so much more difficult than it used to be?"-------- BECAUSE EVERYTHING COSTS MORE NOW--probably------ Lord love a Duck!----- I am wondering--- Do any of you worry about the budget?---Is it just me----or is it the times--and my age now?--
We are going in for bananas AND fresh Salmon ---shortly--We do not have any snow falling--and we have sunshine--- but--big Beau and I went heading out the sunroom door--this morning-early--- and poor Beau slipped on the frost on the wooden steps---me too----so I had to drag the big bag of salt out there to de-ice the porch--Now Lopez had me up in the night so there I was in my nightie and my parka walking around the frosty grass------Doncha jess love winter?
-To-day we turn our clocks back--or is it ahead?--Daylight saving time is over for another year--That will take some time to do ----
You (and I)-- have survived everything we've gone through so far---WE CAN DO THIS!-----So, get up, get dressed--and get out there-
The picture below grabbed my attention--Both the dog and the Lady look so peaceful-- just sitting on the dock hoping to catch a fish--Now, if we did that, contented-- let the worries go-----why, WE WOULD LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER too--
You (and I)-- have survived everything we've gone through so far---WE CAN DO THIS!-----So, get up, get dressed--and get out there-
Himself enjoyed Daycare yesterday--- had lunch there --It really is a good service-- It goes until 3pm--but he chooses to come back home about 12-30pm for his nap--next week however he will go 3 mornings--
I think it is so good for your hubby to be with new people! As well as good for you!
ReplyDeleteIt sure was yesterday--- and he returns home happy-Lynda
DeleteFishing in a bikini ... yeah, not this girl! I'm more of a shorts and t-shirt gal Haven't fished since moving to Australia but one day maybe I'll get myself a rod and some bait and sit on a jetty (that's what we call docks here) and then if I catch something I'll have to remember how to get the hook out. Or maybe I'll just have a seat and watch the fish and the waves. Thank you for the reminder that we've made it this far - it will help me get up in the morning and face another day of new challenges and learning to do things in a different way. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from yu---- No--don't catch the fish--just sit and watch the world go by--LOL--WE have made it thru another day--for sure--I like that--learning to do things in a different way-- LOL_-as good way to put it-- My Fred has been good today--if he can only stay that way---Lynda
DeleteYou nailed it . . . budgeting is more challenging because the cost of everything is up and not much change in what is coming IN! But we make it work.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! Be careful out there. Sorry Beau fell on the frosty areas, but you don’t need that either!
Tonight we turn the clocks back for a return to standard time. Not a fan, but then nobody asked me!
So happy to hear that Himself enjoyed daycare and ate lunch there! And he’s going for 3 days next week. AWESOME!
I'd scare the fish away if I were in a bikini! LOL
here's to a peaceful weekend.
hugs

Yes---- WE Make it work--"rob Peter to pay Paul"--=Mom's expression---- I have to work on the clocks yet-- but--it has been a good day-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. Yes, I worry about the budget too. Our car insurance just went up again and it's over 1/3 of the money I have set aside for insurance, heat, electricity and water. So either we have to get that reduced or we have to find more money someplace! My son and family stayed overnight last night - now everything is off kilter! They left a mess in my spare room which Tom and I will have to clean up sometime today. I had to miss my Pilates class. So while I love them all I find I'm more "set in my ways" than I thought! Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteLOL-- YU do sound like me--set in yer ways somewhat--Everything has gone up here--and it scares me-- I suppose if worse came to worse I cud take some money from bank--but-so far, it seems to fit in-- It has been a good day here to-day-- 2 of my kids came out--I love that-Lynda-
DeleteI think everyone is concerned they will have too much month left at the end of the money.
ReplyDeleteI would be in much worse shape if David had not taken such good care of me, and now living with my daughter and son in law, all I really have to do is pay for my truck upkeep, and phone, and any food items I want to buy and of course keep my life insurance paid up...
the above is me..I forgot to add my name.
DeleteI suppose we all worry about the banking--too much month--good expression--nice that yu live with yer daughter--Lynda
DeleteLynda, I do not worry about things all night...even bills. When I am in bed getting comfy, I think about all that I love in my life...count my blessings, picture my grandchildren...think about the things I still have coming to make my life delightful...like seeing those grandkids again.
ReplyDeleteI do know that things work out. That's an affirmation from the Law of Attraction: "Things always work out for me." I believe it. Sometimes there's a bit of contrast first (that contrast is what you don't want), but in the end it's really good.
Great that Himself has daycare 3 times a week. That will help you both, I am sure.
Great memes as always. That lady and dog are really cute. Wonder if she knows what she's showing. Probably doesn't care. Maybe we should adopt that attitude.
Just got back from shopping: cat food, bananas, my favorite soup, a salmon entree with broccoli and wild rice for supper (I will add corn and carrots) and a few other things.
Most bills paid. One more for me to do online, then just get my cashier's check for rent on Monday.
No karaoke tonight. That's ok. We need a break.
Love you guys, love your blog. I can picture you in your nightie and parka. What an outfit. Hope you both are ok after your slip. {{{HUGS}}}
You are so good! Yu do not worry- Oh I wish I was like that--i worry about everything----- and I hate being like that!--- and yes, yu need a break from yer Karaoke--rest----- LOl--Hugs, Lynda
DeleteYes, it’s time to fall back and wait til Spring to spring forward. They keep saying in Ohio they want to change it but it don’t happen! I don’t like it getting dark early. Hope you and Beau are ok from the ice. Scary when it is slick out. My yorkies are pad trained which is good and bad. Hope your day was wonderful and we will have a super Sunday!:)
ReplyDeleteit has been a lovely Sunday---so good-Lynda
DeleteSlept well last night, after my older sister took me along to the symphony. Music hath charms, as they say. But like you, I do have my times when the budget worries arise! Who doesn't?
ReplyDeleteMay we all sleep well tonight!
The symphony wold be so wonderful--so relaxing-Lynda
DeleteHi, Marti here! I really don't worry much about the future anymore, or the bills (I had to go back to work). Maybe that's because of the anti depressants/anti anxiety meds I've taken since 1995, but really, if I worry, I know it doesn't do anything, and I really don't have anxiety anymore, OTHER than change! CHANGE! My bf is going to move in with me (soon, soon), but he's so slow, it's been 2 1/2 months and he still is weeding thru old papers. I DO worry about that, if he can cut it, if I can cut it (I'm a terrible control freak), will he get a job, will he be able to keep a job (he's veryyyy slow at everything and we live in a fast world), yada yada yada. BUT you know what? If it doesn't work, I guess it doesn't work. He can save up and get a cheap apartment somewhere. I bounced this off my cousin and she said really what difference does it make WHEN he gets here? It doesn't. So I'll try to be patient. Heaven help me!
ReplyDeleteYu are good to take on a bF---Lordy Be-- I hope it works out too-- Lynda
DeleteMarti again. AND the mood stabilizers - I'm bipolar, type 2.
ReplyDeleteHowdy Marti---Lynda
DeleteI keep losing my response. Glad himself likes daycare and maybe eventually he will stay longer. Poor you and Beau slipping already. Hope everyone is ok. Stop worrying bout everything. You are pretty frugal so you should be fine! Have a relaxing night. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteAww Brenda--I do worry bout the banking always hope it all falls in place and it always does-- should not worry bout it--cool today-Lynda
DeleteI'm so sorry you and Beau slipped this morning. Be very careful.
ReplyDeleteBudgeting....well, yes, it is a concern. My car insurance just came and its increased as has EVERYTHING. But all is well.
Clocks go back an hour so it will get dark earlier. We'll have to adjust. Do you still have your big collection of clocks?
So glad himself enjoys daycare and lunch.
Loved the inserts, as always.
When I go to bed I try to review my day and thank God for all that went well and for all my blessings. Praying for others takes me out of dwelling on my concerns.
There is always something to be grateful about.
Have a pleasant evening.
Play your piano.
Oh Margene-=-Yu are so good to go over your blessings--yes the clocks go back-- 'fall back"--lynda
DeleteHard eh Sandra--YU want to go , but yu don't want to go and be sick--YU are better at home----Don't cry--there will be more parties--hugs to yu---Lynda-- -
