R&R- Rest and Recreation

I am taking the day off: away from people, places, funerals, things that go bump in the night...or daytime.  I need a little rest.  However, I do need to do a little shopping, housekeeping and necessary "home stuff" and I don't even want to do that.  Lazy me.  Or tired me...whichever.

Sister C. asked me which resident I was going to "adopt" next, now that Bea is gone.  I will think about it, but not today.  Nope, not today.

I finally broke down and turned the heat on.  I try to hold out until November, but it has gotten a bit chilly and will be for the next few days.  The warmth feels sooo good.  As I am on a limited budget...unlike Congress...I try to keep the heating bills down.  I can dress warmly most of the time, but when the temperatures drop into the 40's and 30's, it is time to be less "poveretical" and more comfortable.  Cheap, am I?  No, just aware that everything is becoming more expensive, there is a long winter season ahead, and the government is failing.  I don't want to fail with it.

I am not a prepper or survivalist, Per Se, as I have said before, but I do try to prepare for bad weather or other unpredictable events.  That is why I went to the store this afternoon and got a few more items for stocking up...grocery wise.  I spent the grand total of $23.00.  In the Bible, Matt. 6:20, we are told not to accumulate our wealth on earth, but to "lay up our treasures in heaven."  I, like the Mormons, think that we are to be prepared as well as we can, without becoming obsessed with possession and hoarding.  So I try not to go overboard with my "stocking up."

Tomorrow...Saturday...I hope to get a few more things done that need attention.  While I got a few things done today...I was not a "ball of fire" and it was really a day of rest for me.
Peace and prosperity to all, and to all a goodnight.
