Fatty Liver?

January 12, 2022 By: Lucy2 Comments

I’m not sure what I could have googled that is now giving me all sorts of ads related to liver health.  Ad after ad, they are all about me having a dying or fatty liver.  Good grief.  Per my routine labs from my physical last month, my liver is fine.  I’m curious what type of ads pop up for you?

Too Much Stuff Challenge On Steroids!

January 8, 2022 By: Lucy2 Comments

I know my Too Much Stuff Challenge plan was to dispose of/donate one item per day, but today, I went above and beyond that!  I think my motivation stemmed from dropping off all that other stuff yesterday.  Knowing I’d be driving by the thrift store next Wednesday, I couldn’t stop myself from wanting to gather up more items.  Between talking to Hubs and replying to some emails, I managed to get my count up to fifty things!  Woohoo!  Here is my list… a good thing I was tracking these items on a notepad!  [Read more…]

Shopping Day: Sticking to my List (Almost!)

January 7, 2022 By: Lucy4 Comments

As much as I didn’t want to go, I went to the city to do a tiny bit of shopping.  My primary reason was to pick up two prescriptions that I couldn’t get via mail order.  Since I would be driving past the thrift store, I dropped off all the items I had gathered before starting my Too Much Stuff challenge, along with the three things I’ve since added.

All is Well and Challenge Update

January 6, 2022 By: Lucy4 Comments

All is well at MIL’s house.  The tree that supposedly fell on the roof did no damage.  Based on my son’s pictures, we can’t help but question if the tree even fell on the house.  Nasty SIL wanted that tree removed, and we think this may be her way of making us pay for it.  More furniture items have been removed from the house.  I can’t say that came as a surprise.  [Read more…]

In-Law Update and Challenges

January 5, 2022 By: Lucy4 Comments

Yesterday I wrote about us being unable to get in touch with who I refer to as “The good SIL” regarding what was going on with MIL’s house/estate.  Hubs managed to get in touch with one of her children and gave Hubs the cell number for SIL’s husband.  The nephew said his mother often has trouble navigating her phones.  (One Family One Income, does this sound familiar?) I’m not sure why we didn’t have brother-in-law’s cell number in our contacts.  I guess we’ve always just connected with him via their landline.  Anyhow, the good SIL is fine.  Technology is not her strong point.  She didn’t see/hear the messages on her cell or house phone.  And here’s a funny story about that.

Update Time 7-31-18

Today is the end of the month, and I am pleased to say we have officially reached our 2018 goal a full five months early.  For those who may have just stumbled across A Dime at a Time, our goal was to pay off $18,000 in 2018.  Having reached this goal does not mean we […]
