1. Booked 3 weeks of work between now and the end of the year. Barring emergency at my home branch, this is about the maximum work I want to accept for the remainder of this year. I am stating that in print to hold firm to my resolve!
2. I cooked in large quantities this week in order to restock the freezer with meals for Carey to take to work. And when I was making meatloaf, I made and cooked two, and one is wrapped and in the freezer for an easy thaw-and-heat supper in the future.
3. I found a penny. Okay, it was just a penny, but that's the first change I've found locally on the ground in AGES.
4. I phoned about an incorrect charge for an online purchase. Now I will continue monitoring until I see the correct amount applied...in 5 to 7 business days. Sometimes I long for the days of face-to-face cash payments. 😒
5. I reserved two library books, and picked them up while passing the library after picking up one of the girls from a sleepover...actually I talked that girl into running into library for me. 😊

I like the idea of freezing a 2nd meatloaf! I usually only make one but will try to do 2 in the future. I rarely find any money where I live so it isn't worth tracking.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I made a 2nd meatloaf, at least in recent memory. I still have quite a few twice-baked potato in the freezer too, so I am set for an easy meal that pleases my men. :)
DeleteI never find enough to track, but this was such an unusual occurrence, that I thought it bore mentioning. LOL I guess we all use plastic in our area. :(
I need to make a note in my planner regularly to put books on hold at the library. I noticed I have a huge selection in my Amazon Wish List - not too buy, I just put them there to remind me of books that looked interesting at Barnes & Noble or Costco.
ReplyDeleteI use my Amazon book wish list like that too! You never know when you will come across them on sale somewhere. :)
