| Three More Christmas Books Decluttered |
The radiation oncologist's office called and confirmed my appointment for Wednesday. The appointment with the oncologist is on Friday.
In the afternoon, I went to the pharmacy to pick up another medication refill. Apparently, I've met my deductible for prescription co-pays for this year, because I didn't have to pay the usual co-pay.
After that, I went to the dollar store, next door to the pharmacy, and bought some bananas (@ $.49/lb), a can of corned beef ($2.99), a packet of Kraft string cheese ($1 for 12 pieces), a can of condensed milk ($1.99), some candy, and a laser so Dancer can chase the light. I didn't take a picture of the groceries and I haven't done a grocery post in a long time, either, have I? My last grocery post was done in the first week in June, here. I bought some groceries on 6/16 at the dollar store - some pasta, a can of spaghetti sauce, a can of corned beef, bananas, a couple of boxes of crackers, and some snacks for $12.94 and a loaf of bread at the adjoining grocery store for $.50. Today's grocery shopping came to $8.00. I have spent most of the remaining $22.64 in my grocery budget for this month. $22.64 - $12.94 - $.50 - $8 = $1.20. I doubt I'll need to buy anything else between now and the end of the month, so I did well this month.
After I came home, I watered the garden, did the dusting, and shredded more papers while I watched some TV. I also decluttered three more Christmas books.
Today's joyful activity was reading.
Today, I am grateful for:
- A relaxed morning
- Birds singing in the garden
- Drama-free prescription refills!
- Dollar store bargains
- Sunshine in the afternoon

From what you write, you seem to be doing a good job of keeping on top of things around the house. Are you feeling good about that? I noticed that I was feeling increasingly contented as I got the house back in order so I hope the same gas happened for you.
ReplyDeleteWell done with the book decluttering.
I am trying to keep on top of things, but, my problem is, I am not very good at putting things away. I struggle to keep horizontal surfaces clear. Piles just seem to happen, in my house, like stalagmites! I've a pile of books here, on the side table near my chair (books I am currently reading), a pile of books on the table in the family room (books I borrowed from the two libraries), and a pile of books on the coffee table (books I am sorting through to declutter), my sewing stuff on the big dining table, etc. But, the spare room is in good shape, still, and I am happy about that!
DeleteThank you, I'm behind with my book decluttering, but, I am determined to meet my goal!
It's a struggle to keep the place tidy when you're still working through decluttering things. Maybe when you've disposed of enough books to clear a shelf in one of the bookcases you can keep your library books there - easy to find when it's time to return them, easy to use, plus you won't have a pile of books on the table.
DeleteYes, I could have a basket or something that would be the designated spot for library books. :)
DeleteMore Christmas books!!! :D
ReplyDeleteYes! I've 6 more Christmas books! As one of my friends said, "How many Christmas books does a Buddhist need?" LOL!
DeleteThose Christmas books look interesting ☺
ReplyDeleteThey are, Natalia. Lots of lovely craft ideas and recipes in each. I hate to part with them, but, I just don't need all of them!
DeleteI have not even started on my book decluttering, but I still have a few days in June left! I will make a run through either today or tomorrow and get those in time for the Kings Ranch charity truck pickup. You inspire me, Bless!
ReplyDeleteYes, there are still a few more days left in the month! Thank you for saying that I inspire you, Anne. :)
DeleteI love the line, "How many Christmas books does a Buddhist need?" :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. The next question is going to be how many boxes of Christmas decorations does a Buddhist need! :D I probably have more Christmas decorations than any of my Catholic cousins!
DeleteWe had an odd day regarding weather. It ran the gambit from sunny to windy to rainy and back again. I hung out some towels on the line and then we had barely a minute of heavy raindrops. It wasn't worth rushing out to fetch the laundry in when it came on so fast. Then it stopped, and an hour or two later the same thing happened. But when I finally fetched in the towels, they were all dry. We were threatened with a storm but so far it hasn't materialized and the sky looks clear.
ReplyDeleteThat was certainly a very odd weather day! At least it didn't snow! I'm glad your towels were dry when you brought them in. Hope you have a nice, sunny day, tomorrow.
DeleteYou must have quite a few Christmas books, although I can't say I blame you, it's my favourite time of year. Probably the only reason I don't have any is my dislike of a certain man in a red suit and he's quite unavoidable. I'm sure someone else will love reading your donated books. X
ReplyDeleteI think I had about 15 or 16 Christmas books at one time! I've been decluttering them, a few at a time. At the beginning of this month, I had 13 on my shelf. I now have 5. I don't know if I will reduce that number even further.
DeleteI think that the laser for Dasher was probably the best buy - he'd say that anyway!
ReplyDeleteHe loves to chase the light, but I feel sorry for him trying to catch something which can't be caught!
