Today I got Cameron spayed and I also set up my financial records to meet with Utilities Assistance tomorrow.

I also went to two different food pantries and got a lot of free food for the 'over the holidays' stretch. Both places gave me free chicken, which was nice. I cooked up the cutlets today since I don't have a freezer. Now I can just keep the chicken in my dorm sized fridge.

The actual 'bird' I got from the other place I do not know what to do with. I will have to give it away in the morning when it warms up. I have no way to cook it and no way to freeze it. I actually have no idea how to even safely cook a bird.

YAY! I had my meeting with catholic charities today and they will be giving me utilities assistance in seven or eight days. THis will be a big help with my electric bill!

I also found a free place to take a hot shower right here in town. I hope to go use that tonite.

That is fantastic news, Jilly! Congratulations

I still have steel in my yard. Maybe I'll decorate it for the holidays

LOL, totally put up some lights on it.

Today I took more stuff from my lean to and did some gardening. It was tee shirt weather today, so I really enjoyed the gardening. I was very surprised to see all the great plants that made it through the cold storms of the last few weeks. My thick mulching is turning out to be very helpful in keeping everything growing over the cold months.

Been busy camping, but tomorrow i hope to get some calendar work organized. I also have to drop off some bills, run to the bank, call the MVD, meet my case manager and and pick up my meds.

I'd like to get in a walk or some yoga, too.

YAY! I got all those things done today! Except the yoga - will do that now. Plus a facial. I also did a bunch of house cleaning.

Okay, facial is done.

Tomorrow - meet behavioral worker (call or go to MVD), go to woman's group, go to shower house and fill out more calendar plans.

I got everything done this week that i needed to! It was exhausting. And I am looking at another whole week of appointments ahead...

Today is a total kick back day. I am cleaning, organizing, putzing, reading and enjoying having nothing on my calendar to do for an entire day!

I'm organizing the kitchen this holiday. Get ready for a new year, I want more organized meal times, or I probably mean less stress meals. So I'm organizing so I can plan things better. I guess I'll be working on menu plans soon.

What kind of meals plans?

I want to pick a few days a month to put together and freeze extra casserouls for cook free evenings. I want to use my slow cooker more to help in this area as well.
