Fuzz is in the Air

 Fuzz is flying everywhere today. The neighbourhood poplar trees are all letting go of their fluff. It looks like a snowstorm. Allergies are going to be in full swing now! So gross. 

A couple more houses to see this week starting today. I'm hoping to see something that doesn't need a ton of work before moving in.  The one today is painted top to bottom blue/grey. Hopefully it isn't as bad in person as it is in the pictures. The layout is great and so is the location. Always hard to tell from pictures. Paint is very fixable but adds another step and expense.  A friend is selling her home, and it is gorgeous! BUT so many stairs and a suite in the basement. I'm not wanting to be a landlord, or have a big reno to remove it. Somebody will be lucky though as it was constructed and planned with care. Friday we see a nice 2 story close to me that dh really likes. The yard is a disaster with a perimeter of cedars that someone has butchered with the pruning shears. That will be several thousands to remove and replace to keep privacy. But if it checks all the boxes, then it can be dealt with. 

I bought a bunch of bedding plants for my planters.  Weather has not been cooperative to getting them done. Or if I wasn't a big baby and could brave the wind and cold temps with occasional drizzle I could get them done. I'm just hoping for a bit of sunshine. Planters will come with us with a move.

Sold one more thing on FB market. So now my sales are $375. One more item left to go worth $10. So far no takers! I have a small wine rack that isn't ever going to be used that I should list too.  I love wine, but my skin rash and menopause don't.

These next 3 weeks are going to be quite hectic. dh leaves for work out of province on Monday and not back until Friday night. Lots of family medical needs. Lots of organizing/cleaning and purging to do here when not helping out. Plus tons of cooking to keep my hyena fed and will be delivering meals when family can't do their cooking.

The only savings to be had are that I am buying in bulk and meal planning. Attempting to make BIG meals that will work for all of us.  I also have saved all of our "take-home" containers from eating out, those are great to transport side dishes and I don't want them returned (after a cupboard cleanout there are a ton of them!). Haha meeting my purging goals at the same time!  I also have a few dollarama tin containers that I will use up. 

First meal for all on Friday will be a hamburger soup and buns. Weekend tbd. They will have the other side of their family there to help (I hope) and I will resume meals on Monday.  Thankfully with dh gone kid 3 can help out some evenings.

I better run and get todays meal in the oven. (Oven baked chicken breasts and rice with broccoli and cheese) Then to see the house. Then to drop off some stuff for kid 1. Then to try and have a sleep before a very long day tomorrow.

The Good Things: A full fridge and pantry. Retired and able to help when I'm needed.

Things that suck: insomnia and menopause.

Oh and by the way I don't publish rude annon remarks. "LOLZ" to you too. Really, why do you need to be rude? The syntax is very revealing and it should be beneath you.

Toodles!
