Thrifty Tuesday

 

This has not been the most thrifty of weeks though we did manage to save a little. Our hotel room was at a reduced rate since we are members. Our youngest son bought us dinner on the night of my operation and I ate some of the high fiber items I had brought with me for my breakfast before we left. 

All my mending was completed before we left. I darned three pairs of socks, fixed a hem on a pair of Harvey's pants.

Since we have been home I have been working on some knitting, using up yarn from my stash. Doing lots of reading as well. lots of those free novels I downloaded onto my ereader.

Food wise we have been eating meals using what I have on hand and managing to clear out leftovers quickly. No waste here.

I had a phone call from my primary care doctor about the blood and urine tests I had about 11 days ago. Everything is great. I still have work to do in getting that bad cholesterol down, but my "good" cholesterol has come up a great deal. Both of us are very happy about that. She also said that walking is perfect, so while I won't be on the treadmill I have been walking around the house and even managed two short walks out side today (mainly because it was gorgeous out and I just needed the fresh air). Hopefully in a couple of weeks I will be walking a bit further, just depends on the weather.

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.
