Saturday-Sunday, January 19-20, 2018
When my alarm went off the morning, I rolled over and went back to sleep. I guess the wind from last night stirred up some allergies. I felt kind of "ugh" this morning, but once I got up and started moving I felt much better.
We are having our rig and truck washed and waxed this morning and the crew showed up around 8:30. They worked until 11:30 or so. Dean was very happy with the job they did. I stayed inside to do some chores and to work on our 2019 budget.
For some reason when I made a copy from my original blank spreadsheet, the formulas did not copy over. I've messed with the copied spreadsheet a bit but it was just too cumbersome to try and fix, so this morning I decided to make another copy from the original spreadsheet one more time - and lo and behold all of the formulas were there and it is now working perfectly. What kind of gremlins live in computers?
Speaking of budgets, we didn't do too bad last year especially since our budgeted amounts were only a guess in a number of categories. This year, having actual detail to use allowed me to set realistic budget amounts. We are 19 (now 23) days into January and we are well within our budget in almost every single category. The line items that are slightly over probably won't have any expenditures in the next month or so, so we aren't too concerned about those. I'm really watching the grocery and dining out line items - to keep them in line for two reasons - one to keep us from over spending, but more importantly that we are more careful about what we eat.
I started doing laundry and planned to vacuum this morning but about 8 or so the electricity in the park went off and was off for a little over two hours. So I called my sister Cindy and talked for 20-30 minutes during, and got the breakfast dishes out of the way. Fortunately the battery on my chromebook was full so I was able to do quite a bit on it.
It was over 80 degrees yesterday and today it is nice out but a cool wind is blowing. Just perfect for having the windows open----well, at least once they were done washing the RV.
Sunday, January 20, 2019 - Chiefs Football Tonight!
I was up early this morning and got started with laundry right away. I did three loads. Can I tell you again how much I love my combo washer/dryer? I love, love, love it!
I also made use of that time to make corn dip, and deviled eggs to take to our friends house this evening - where we will watch the Kansas City Chiefs in the play-off's. We are so excited for our Chiefs!
About 10:30 or so our friends Jack and Lynette pulled into the site across the road from us. They will be here until around the end of March. We said our hello's but didn't bother them while they were sitting up. Once they were settled they walked over to visit. We enjoyed catching up with them since we last saw them in Maine back in September. By then we were all getting hungry so I suggested we go somewhere to eat lunch and we decided on Ranch House Burgers. We both ended up ordering the swiss and avocado burger and half order of french fries (homemade). Each of us just ordered the one burger and half order of homemade french fries, that we shared with our spouse. It was plenty of food and again, it was excellent as all of our meals have been here.
We visited with Jack and Lynette awhile after we returned until we needed to get ready to head to Pam and Dennis' to watch the Chiefs game. Dennis made BBQ ribs, Pam made baked beans and I added the deviled eggs. Pam also made brownies that we will have with the cheese dip and fritos for snacks during the game. We never should have had something like that during such an exciting game. All of the work I did to keep my eating under control for the past week or so and even during dinner tonight, was out the window during that game. Never have food around when you are stressed! I won't tell you how many brownies I ate!
Even though our team lost in the last few minutes of the game, we are proud of how hard they worked this year. We look forward to next year!
