    Default Tightwad Tuesday 2/23

    Today is lots of cleaning and putting things back in order. I need to take some DVD's back to the library and then take DD for her 4 year check up so I can send in her paperwork to register for school in the fall. Hope everyone has a great day!

    Busy, busy day which is getting off to a slow start!!!
    I've been working a TON of hours lately, with the one consolation that I will get a big paycheck as we're buying a house and need all available ca$h for the closing.
    Well, I have two employers, one marvelous, one horrible (I'm a home care nurse and absolutely LOVE my client with the horrible employer - it's Elizabeth if you've followed her story) I worked a 13 hour shift with her as a favor so her parents could go away overnight, and instead of paying me, they paid another employee - my DD#1!!! It generally takes weeks to get payroll issues sorted out with them. So that is #1 on today's list.
    Groceries
    A rare day since our 'exile' when we'll all be home for dinner so I'll cook something special
    Laundry
    General pick up / straighten up of the house
    Ironing some scrubs for work

    Hopefully today my employer will give us a time frame when the company will close its door. Will be working all the open files I have, in fast pace, to make sure everything in good order.
    May start planting veg later in the afternoon.
    Cook dinner.
    Need to decide & plan for future: whether I should go independent or find another employer.
    Wishing a great day for the villagers

    Been a long day for me - or feels like it. Had blood work done earlier this am but had to dig out the car, popped out to the groc store with my dad, ran to post office and then snoozed on the couch and made lunch.

    I need to prep my homework for my diabetes course tomorrow am, pack my breakky so I can eat it in the car en route and laundry so I have something to wear! LOL I have to wait until after 9pm to do laundry to get the lower hydro rate....makes this very challenging.
