Frugal Friday.....the November 24th Edition
There are very few(if any)Frugal wins this past week so here goes....
* I went to PT 2x this past week because of the holiday they were closed 2 days. Good thing I've hit all my deductibles and co-pays so I'm not shelling out cash for this service.
* I found money!
A penny in the driveway at the ER on Sunday night as I was leaving, after walking past a police woman guard and her shackled orange jumpsuit clad prisoner as they were going into the ER. That was after watching 20 staff and police subdue a crazy man who was being committed attempted to leave and another guy who was pissed off because he had waited "30 minutes" to be seen(we were there for hours!)so he started cursing at the security guys(big F word cursing)such that one of them pulled out his weapon and they walked him out of the ER waiting room and stood guard for 1/2 an hour outside the entrance to make sure he didn't come back in with a weapon and shoot up the place. Geez!Total Found in last Week.... .02¢
Total Found this Year.......$3.47
Blogging will be taking a backseat to getting me healed so there might not be many posts here for the foreseeable future.8-)

OCTOBER 2023 To-Do List Outcome
What was suppose to get done in October......
* Pay Bills DONE Always done first. No bills put on credit cards and balances carried forward.
* Go to Ridiculous Amount of Dr. Appointments DONE I can't even remember how many.....the cardiologist here, 2 appointments with the surgeon in OH, 3 PT sessions in OH, the DME doc in OH, the pre-admission testing doc in OH, a wound check with my old NP in LA, 7 more PT sessions in LA before Oct. ended. I'd call all that a ridiculous amount. 8-)
* Fly to Ohio DONE
* Have Surgery DONE See previous post on that
* Fly Home DONE This almost turned into a disaster thanks to the third party healthcare provider our insurance used. You would think they'd seat someone who just had knee surgery 2 days before(and could not walk as her walker had to be in the cargo hold and not stowed in the passenger area of the plane)in the front of the plane.
* Start PT for Knee DONE It's been slow going due to other medical issues but I show up and make the effort.
* Clean and Organize Stuff in House PASS I did a little as I was able before leaving town for OH.
* Buy Stuff for House DONE The only things besides groceries, etc. that were bought were materials needed to replace the kitchen sink/countertops. Hubs was in charge of all that. Hubs also has been spending on other things that need fixing/doing around the house.
The sink and countertops finally got installed!

And the sink was fiberglass and had been mistreated so badly that the finish was flaking off.
And here is the new stuff.......
A new stainless sink and new faucet too.* Buy a CD DONE I took some excess cash out of the checking account and bought a 12 month CD to earn a little more in interest on that money.
* Do Something Fun FAIL I had hoped to do something fun before flying off to OH for surgery because I was going to be in no shape to have "fun" after then in October. We had won 3rd place at Trivia at the burger joint we like a month or so ago so I had hoped to go eat for free at Trivia in early October. Daughter gave us the news that this branch of the burger chain closed down in October so that was a no go. And now I have to find another branch of this burger joint to use this gift card at and the closest one is in Dallas. sigh
* Clean out Inserts/Coupon Envie DONE Not much of a job this one anymore and I'll be taking it off my To-Do Lists going forward.
* Edit More Photos PASS Been editing photos and moving them into folders but I still have a lot more to work through.
* Post about Old Trips PASS I think I worked ahead and got two installments of the month long Western Adventure in 2017 posted before leaving for surgery. Needless to say with all the medical stuff I slowed down on this goal after surgery. 8-(
* Work on Genealogy PASS This is one of the few things I can do right now while recuperating from surgery so I work on it when I feel up to it. I haven't posted anything genealogy stuff but I do work on it.
* Move Video Files to New Computer FAIL I didn't even attempt this with so much other stuff going on. Some day......
* Plan Travel for the Holidays PASS While we really don't have any plans yet for Xmas, I had hoped to be far enough along to go see my youngest in PA for Thanksgiving but I made the judgement call that it's too soon for my knee to sit in a car for 3 days each way for that trip. Daughter is going to her in-laws for Thanksgiving with her Hubs and while her Hub's mom invited us again this Thanksgiving I am just not up for being there with a ton of Daughter's Hub's father's kids/spouses/baby daddies/grandkids/great grandkids from his first marriage. I don't know these people, even after last Thanksgiving and being in pain and around strangers is a very foreign way to celebrate turkey day. I appreciate the invite but no thanks. So Hubs and I will be alone for Thanksgiving.
Daughter decided to hold a 2nd turkey day the Sunday after Thanksgiving and invite us. I've got almost everything for the meal so I'll have Hubs take it over the day before so it won't cost them much if anything. But now the issue is what are Hubs and I going to eat for "real" Thanksgiving? I'm not a big fan of turkey anyway so having it twice in a week is not going to happen. And I'm not up for cooking or going to a restaurant filled with yet more strangers. We had hoped the Chinese restaurant by my PT facility would be open so we could get takeout but sadly for us, they will be closed. So I guess we'll sit home and eat whatever is here.
I am hoping with all the medical testing I am still going through, by mid December I will feel up to going to PA to see younger son and his partner. We'll have to wait to leave after Daughter's birthday in mid December however because last year the Panama cruise kept us from being here for her birthday.
That's all I got.
