The Gales of November

This month is really just a continuation of last month. I know that makes very little sense. LOL! So here's the back story.....

My loved one has been able to return to a job at the same company. Not his job and certainly not for the same rate of pay! Not even what the job is suppose to pay but 10% less for the whole first year after he is done training.... so if he is in training for 6 months then it will be 10% less for a year and a half! Damnation!!!!! Bills still need to be paid and food still needs to be purchased!

But on a brighter note... I have been contacted to do a qualification test to do at home work. If I pass, then I can work from home at my own schedule!!! (*Edited* I got the job!!! Woohoo!) Oldest is now full time at her job. Which means benefits and a pay increase! Middle, has an interview at her job for a supervisors position. (*Edited* She got the promotion) And the youngest broke her roller skates! 

I was able to get a really good deal on chicken from Zaycon Fresh. Its antibiotic free and the best tasting chicken I have ever had. They are so big that 3 chicken breasts will feed 6 people 1 meal. If your interested in checking them out you can do so by going here: Zaycon Fresh

I have been getting at the sales. This week our main grocery store Kroger is having a buy 10 and get $5 off. Lots of really good deals. Pasta and Sauce are on the stock up list! I didn't put up any tomatoes or veg this year. I felt the last couple years I did that it didn't get used the way it should have so. I opted to not. I did do strawberries, blueberries, peaches, bananas, and pineapple.

I have been crocheting up a storm. Grim and I are hoping to go to a Viking Festival the end of February. So I've been making things to sell. Fingers crossed that they will. Its all yarn that I had and now its getting used up. That has an added bonus as its cleaning out where all this yarn has just been sitting taking up space.


And of course I was able to fit in a new shawl for myself. It was made with 2 Canon Cakes. The pattern is Lost in Time. I was lucky enough to have the yarn in my stash so it was a win win. No money out of our current pocket and I got a very nice and warm new shawl!

Since we have been spending so much time at home. One of the things we have been doing is binge watching Netflix. We have watched Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Dare Devil, Iron Fist & The Defenders. These are all Marvel Universe shows. We also watched Wynonna Earp. OMG.... This show is amazing. If you liked/loved Buffy give it a chance and watch... it is amazing!!! My opinion, not paid for by syfy or netflix (unless someone wants to send me a check for it! *Smiles* ) Mindhunter was also a very good series. It shows how the FBI started with the profiling system. I can't wait until they come out with the next season. We are now onto Stranger Things.... It is strange. Only have 2 more episodes to watch until the first season is over.

Smile Loudly,
