Travelling on the frugal path to Freedom

We fell off track a little, but we have a plan.

We do have 2 debts to pay off. That said we do have savings and have maintained savings for the last 2 years. We do dip in on occasion but it's great.

We did lots of renovations, more than we thought we'd have to do some just weren't optional... windows, roof repairs(ughhh).

So we'll be tackling those really hard, all while continueing to build savings I know, DR would say debt first. But we have to find ...

With my Vitamix that is!

Today, after deliberating for a week, I picked up the dry blade with container. This container is able to do marvels as well, but different ones.

Tonight I ground some organic hard red wheat into flour. Time involved.... 60 seconds. And I had 3 cups of flour at my disposal.

We had plans for me to go to University. With the pending move, that will be post poned a year or two.

But at the same time, I'm looking around and thinking ....uh-oh. My younger girls school is laying off. That doesn't bode well for the teaching profession. Do we want to invest 4 years tuition plus the childcare costs, to find out I won't get a job?

Also, I took a personal day a couple weeks ago, I wasn't feeling 100%. And I SO enjoyed doing my own thing. SO much got ...

Tuesday, I was very sore from the Karate workout.

However Wednesday was excruciating!!!

So what did I do?? I went back tonight. I will give the sensei credit, he totally focused on a different area. He worked all sections of the body, but the main focus was another muscle group. Although my whole body is still sore from the first workout.

We did some very hard things. My upper body strength SUCKS. So I really need to do some work on that. But overall I can ...
