Not a good day

Well yesterday I made it out to Collins to get the Hubby.  While I was out I knew it was a bad sign when I was seeing spots coming home.  I diden't say much about it at all.  So I will be staying home today and letting the poor man drive out to work today.  Now at this point in time I am still working on the can and will be for awhile.  And maybe just maybe I can get a little bit done today.  The news just anounced that during the peak hours of 11-4 today to shut down alot of things to help take some of the strain off the power grid.  I will have alot of the things off anyway today just to save money around here.  Like I go by what NY State says anyway around here.  The funny part is that most of everything is off anyway before that time and way after that time most days in my household.  With alot of things going down around here I would not be suprized if we all have a major black out around here in NY again.  Anyway over the news this morning they had a segment on the freegans around the area.  I am so ahead of my time let me tell you.  When I have been dumpster diveing for a good while around here to help make ends meet for the household.  The trick is to hit the dumpsters very early in the morning or late at night for alot of things.  I have seen alot of things up here that you would not believe that goes on and what folks throw out at the stores.  Anywhere from toothpaste to food to new undies also.  Some folks do this all of the time and make out for thier household.  I have done it myself for the household.  When you are totally broke then you figure out quick on what is possible to do to make ends meet in the place.  Also around here I have learned alot that I can do to save money at all costs.  From running fans, hanging laundery, to other things also.  I can say that it was done with both feet at first then I somewhat slacked off once everything started going good around here.  Now I am still adding things slowly into the daily grind again around here just so I can pull money back around here also.  Like with the fans going to help move the air here in the can.  Another is to keep the oven off in the day light hours it helps keep the place cooler also.  This is part of the reason that I ended up getting the convection oven besides the extra cook space for hollidays around here.  With some folks they ask why and, I tell them and, they still do not get in what I do for the place.  Just like with the free stuff that I hunt for over the net for the household.  It may be a trial size in most cases that is free.  It also works for the household around here.  I have got free T.P. to other items also.  Nothing beats the free sample of coffee that makes 2 pots of coffee in my place also.  Since I have been cutting back on alot of other things also for the place around here some folks have noticed that I am alot happier around here.  With things going like they are I will be able to do more around here for less money.  I am still wandering for my madness if I can make all of it work in how I really want to do this around here.  It may get messy for abit around here and that is ok by me.  With all the conflict going down with the park I will enjoy rakeing them over the coals this time around.  Also while I am at it all I will be rakeing alot of folks over the coals for the rest of the year around here.
