Sorry I didn't post yesterday but after two hours at the dentists followed by shopping at the grocery store and picking up my meds I was pretty well done for the rest of the day.
And shopping!! The cost of groceries went up again in less than two weeks. I had a hard time believing it. That, and the cost of my meds...$610.00 for three months...and that's with insurance!!! I am just able to pay for the meds but that takes care of any extra savings I may have for emergencies. All I can think about is how are folks who aren't able to handle these costs getting by.
Today I am dropping off some gently used toys, clothing and small kitchen appliances to the thrift shop which I hope will help others. It's going to be a hard holiday season for folks in this economy.
After that I'm going to work outside to button down any items that might 'wander' off during our first nor'easter of the season which should get here late tonight and through the weekend. They have warnings out for high winds and lots of rain for this area...just what we need...more rain! Going to make sure the SnowWhite's tank is full and everything is charged incase we lose electricity.
I did work on a couple pages in a new journal. I had the pages already done using paper scraps and the collage technique along with sewing around the edges. Here's the first page with a pocket that holds a folder that holds several journal cards...
With all the rain forecast for the weekend, I'm looking forward to spending more time crafting...even if we lose power...at least during the day. If you're in the path of the storm, be sure to take precautions where needed.
Do you realize that we are approaching the end of September already? That pesky time sure does fly by when you're not paying attention. With this economy, maybe October is the time to really plan for those winter holidays but still enjoying the beauty of fall. At least think about it...
Take care this weekend, do something special and be safe...
Talk with you on Monday...
