I am excited to see what else AppleTv+ has hidden up its sleeve regarding video content, and perhaps movies too. I doubt they have anything else Ted Lasso like, so I will be switching gears to go mystery thriller, or sci-fi apocalypse aftermath akin to Fallout. A show on Amazon which I got two or three episodes in before moving on. I own the third game, but never opened it, nor played it. Got it as a birthday present to myself many years ago. Looked fun, but complicated. Skill trees only ever make sense once you’ve committed to doing them wrong I find. And by then, whom would ever want to start over again to correct it? Not me.
Saturday means climbing sessions with the kids. I’m excited! Could do without the extreme cold temperature warning though. Yeesh. It’s going to be a tad nippy outdoors today. Not a fun walk from the parking lot to the gym locale. Will need to trot at a good clip to not suffer the worst of it. Fun fun.
Yesterday’s PA Day was mostly uneventful, thankfully. I worked during the day, on & off while I sorted out the girl’s needs. A short lunch with grandpa, then back home for more work, then 2 hours on the back hill tobogganing with friends to wipe them all out. Of course they were both up until nearly 10:00pm waiting on their mum, but that’s par for the course around here. We have a process, but not neccesarily a schedule if you know what I mean. The girls get their particularness from me. Borderline tunnel vision for how their nightly routine ticks off boxes. I apologized all ready. Ha.
Soon I will get rid of the wood cut offs in my garage. Soon the childrens kitchen will head up north. Soon, if I haven’t bought anything else to use the funds, I will buy a propane heater for the garage so that I can in fact work out there if I so choose. But, and here’s the big ole butt! I can’t just be out & about shopping for other things like a dedicated climbing bag, or fitted apparel from the climbing gym, nor books off of Amazon, or any sort of tool that strikes my fancy between now and late February. And here’s why; the heater will be $200.00 plus dollars, and I will need to buy several 1lb propane tanks for fuel, and will need many D batteries or an expensive 6 volt adapter for the wall to run it. That’s a sizable purchase for myself, so if I go picking up bits here, there, and everywhere then I’ll have spent the few bucks I’ve saved to cover it already. Tightening the belt is a state of mind. I still have to get gas for the vehicles, and buy groceries, but the extra spending has to slow to a trickle, if not completely stop. Takes concentration, and dedication. I don’t like debt, nor being broke. So cutting out the frivolous holiday spending attitude, and trimming around where applicable on the “must do” spending. Going off brand for toilet paper, paper towels, or disinfectant wipes is one thing. But staying true to brand names on items we all love is another. Finding coupons, and sale deals, or bulk sales will help too.
I’ve bored you enough this morning. Happy Saturday. Hope your elementary PA Days are getting somewhat easier as the days go by. Ciao Bella.
