Woke a bit late ... Coffee ... work.
I looked in my freezer last night ... it's quite empty! I really need to buy meat - but I don't have money left in my budget ... and I'm worried about getting paid at the end of the month, as well. I need some meat, but I've already 'overspent' this month. I didn't exactly OVER spend - I just re-stocked items I had run out of completely.
I'm half tempted to bully myself into driving to Ninapark after work ... but that's such a mission, I'll want to buy EVERYTHING I can get only there ... I'd rather put that off till next month. I think I had better come up with a plan to get meat within my budget. I've been stretching things by making stew every week ...
Right. I've decided that I won't get groceries this week. I'll work out a plan this weekend, that will allow me to stay within my budget. That's removed a huge load of anxiety!
Now, though still working on the costing, my mind keeps bouncing around my garden. I don't see any reason to mow the lawn today. I think I'll water by the roses and weed the tomato bed. I'm thinking of trying to grow Brussel sprouts there, over the winter. I was thinking of trying bush beans there next year. Do a bit of crop rotation. The only problem with that is, the pepper plant is still in there, and there are also still cherry tomato plants, producing tomatoes like their life depends on it.
Aaand another episode of load shedding. Again from five to ten. Luckily, we're missing out again!
Back at home, I cleared a section of the tomato bed. Janey showed her appreciation by using the lovely new litter box I made for her! Ha Ha! Well, I watered, and we're all inside before six.
I'm stingy with my dinner tonight, poor Mew-Mew doesn't understand why I'm not being my usual, generous self! Well, I'm hungry.
That's about it from me ... winding down now, with mippies mipping for cuddles ...
