Happy Labor Day! I am being somewhat lazy this afternoon, but did put in an almost full day of work earlier. I made corn muffins for breakfast, made hot dogs and warm spinach/beet salad for lunch. I washed and hung two loads of laundry outside, made a gallon of sun tea, baked two loaves of Orange Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread, and shredded and froze 6 containers of zucchini. I'll be making grilled catfish, grilled zucchini and tomato bruschetta for dinner. I'm trying my best to use up and not waste any food. I feel like I'm getting much better at that.
It has been very hot and humid over the past few days, but it looks like that will change dramatically starting tomorrow - 92 today, 74 tomorrow. We are supposed to have highs in the 70's and lows in the low 50's the rest of the week. (Doing the cool weather dance here!)
Anna, I know what you mean about using local pharmacists. I really like our local pharmacy much better, but DH's insurance will only cover half the cost if we get it filled locally as opposed to their mail-order system. So instead of paying $10 for a 30-day supply, it could cost as much as $200! Needless to say, we use the mail-order.
Lisa, I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad day yesterday. I'm glad that you were able to have such a nice day with your dd's today, though.
Karen, your DH did an awesome job on the gate. Your porch looks so inviting, too!
Norma, your "lazy day" sounds pretty busy to me!
Butterfly, it's so good to "see" you. I was just wondering about you yesterday. Good luck on finding a bed for your friend.
My big frugal this week will be hitting Steve & Barry's. They are going out of business and everything in the store is $9.00. I'm planning on going tomorrow and see what I can find. DH was there today looking for a coat but couldn't find anything in his size. I'm hoping to pick up a few pairs of jeans, a hoodie, and maybe even a new winter coat. Wish me luck!
Well, I'm going to take a short nap before making dinner. I hope you all have a relaxing evening.
Kathy
