2025 Frugal Friday File, May 9...

 

1.  When the cat's not on scene, the mice will clean!  Last summer it was the garage.  (Which I never did take 'after' photos of, sorry.)  This time I have a closet purge planned...everything will be out and gone through.  I've already donated winter coats...apparently I love to buy winter coats, but I don't like to wear winter coats...and we hardly even have a winter here!  I will also be donating work clothes, since I'm no longer working.  I will keep a couple pairs of nice slacks and tops, but the rest is going.

2.  I'm returning one of the pair of shoes I bought last week.  The Birkenstocks are fine, but the White Mountain ones have zero support; disappointing as others of that brand worked great for me.

3.  Girls are home for the summer.  They will be looking for jobs.  Until they find work for other people, I hope they will come help me accomplish a room reboot.

4.  I am feeling really good about getting old books on my Kindle finally read!

5.   I'm about to leave to head to a friend's house.  I will leave my car at her house, and ride with her to the city to attend book club.
