Well folks, yet again I am in the clearing out and disposing of goods....purging you might say, mood. And due to the crappiness of dealing with FB marketplace I am just chucking it all out. Our thrift stores here are very hard to please thus I am not considering them either except for clothing....clothing seems to go no problem.
I try really hard to feel bad about the waste and throwing out perfectly good, sometimes new, stuff. But I don't. Those feelings are what totally complicates a good massive clearing out. Thank god for black non transparent garbage bags. And thank god for the van and the garbage dump. I really don't want my kids to have to do it after I am gone. I am not stopping this time til my voice echos in here.
No xmas tree this year. As much as I love staring at the lights I have decided there will be no tree, not even that tiny one. I will let Biscuit shine for us. Biscuit is the flowering hibiscus and right now she has three massive flowers glowing on her.
Ange showed me the most awesome app the other day. It's called Freeprint. Every thirty days you send them up to 45 pictures and for the cost of shipping...6.99 they send 4x6 prints to you. They are beautiful!!! So I got onto Amazon and bought four little albums and I have sent my first batch off. I am sending them in groups that make sense. The batch I sent off this first time was the pics of our Vietnam trip and the pics of us all at Hullcar burying Mom's ashes with Dad at the cemetery there. I will label each album for quick finding.
I apologize if I am missing words or saying things in a screwy way. I have a really interesting show on tv going, my phone is blowing up for some reason and I keep getting bleeps on my laptop. Busy techy day today! I like doing three things at once and my brain just happens to be in the kitchen. I made an order super early this morning at Walmart site for a ten o'clock delivery. Two 2 pound sirloin tip roasts and sourdough.
Back when I first went on the dr. Atkins way of eating, one thing I subsisted on was cooked roast beef, cheap cut, put through a meat grinder. You also put through a piece of bread for every 2-4 pounds of roast and a little onion. You then add mayonnaise and salt, pepper and whatever spices and herbs you want. Zero carbs in that and it is delicious to snack on.
The last time I made this was yonks ago in Bamfield. Cookie and I made a big batch with the old crank handle stainless steel grinder that you clamp onto some overhang ledge. I have a picture of her and I cranking away! I think we were in pjs.
Well this is getting me nowhere! Gotta go and get the roasts ready. Not sure if I can figure out how to work the stupid thermometer. I have always had Monte do it! But alas...he has left home. He hasn't slept at home even once since I got back. Hope he doesn't get caught. You aren't allowed to live in those places. I have told him but you know.....
So have a great week or few days or whatever and TFL&TTYL
