Still hurting

Well I explained to my Niece lastnight that I was still hurting around here and she finally got the point.  Pluss she has never seen me that hunched over in that amount of pain after the doctors office also.  So now I told here I will do what I have to do and it will be slow in what I do around here eather way.  I can only get done what I can during the day and that is it eather way that I go around here and I know that I have been over doing alot of things around the place in the past 2 weeks.  I may as well work thru the pain and try to forget about it all.  The girl finally said to me that she was pretty much slacking and that she knew it.  So more doctor's visits this week pluss an MRI to really see what the heck is going on with all the pain that I have been in after the accident.  Maybe that is why I have been going cheaper around the place also in the past couple of months besides my Niece being here also.  Pluss with the stress of trying to get a new place on top of it.  Well all 3 of us were in agreement lastnight around here that we have to get out of here totally becuase of the neighborhood.  I tried to say something to my Niece when she first got here about some people and she finally understood in what I was trying to tell her after we all broke out laughing.  So with today I will be watching football and writeing down on ways to be cheaper around the place then this way we are all on the same page here in the can.  One was about the T.V. in why during the week days that I have it off totally then the weekends I leave it on the cooking channel all day on the weekends.  Both of the birds like it pluss I have snagged alot of recipies off of the one channel.  And of course I do it the cheap/frugal side of life.  I am not lucky enough to have a river nor streem out side of my back door at all and that is why I do not cook with fish and some have alergies to the sea food in the household also.  So now I have been coming up with a few ways that I can cut the bills down and it does not hurt anyone at all around here.  Even my Husband shook his head at me yesterday in what I wanted to do for the place here.  Then he rememmbered that I have the drying racks here in the can and said never mind on that part of it all.  That is the bad part of it all around the can is that I have 3 drying racks that are in the main room and they take up space.  It was and still is well worth the money spent on the racks to hang the laundery on around here when it knocks off between 75 to 200 dollars a month for the power bill around here to say the least.  At this point in time I can drag out a few things from the washer and hang them on the racks with or without pain.  What helps with the pain is that I get up and start doing and try to think of new ways of doing around the can here.  Now with it turning cooler out I will say something to my Niece about keeping 2 of the windows blocked weather she wants the to be or not around here.  They are nothing but drafty eather way I go around here for the past 17 years that I have been here.  This is another reason I have sheets and blankets up at the windows around here.  The funny thing around here totally is that when some people walk in they do not get of why I do some of the things that I do here to save money.  Like with the power bill here.  I just do not like useing the dryer at all and try to keep most of the lights off untill night and I only use one light around here for the feather balls also here.  So yes I have my ways of saveing money around here to say the least.  My Niece still does not get it all the way in why I do things the way I do them and that is ok by me.  The girl will find out when she is on her own of the why's.  Here I am thinking of other ways of doing around here that are on the cheap side of life.  Pluss I am still cutting on the budget around here even though some do not think I am doing so for the place here.  Now to really crack down on myself and others around here to start cutting alot more for some things around the household.  Also what gets to some when they all come over is that I streach everything out and still I am useing the crafe for the coffee here.  There is one person that has hollered at me for it since I have got it here.  The person who hollers about it gets her disability check once a month and half of her husbands pay once a week also while she is at it all.  What was going on was that I was cutting dryer sheets at the time and was out of coffee at the time she walked into my place and I diden't move fast enough for her at all.  Well now she does not even come over anymore and it is no skin off my nose at all.  So now I still cut the dryer sheets in half for the place and I have added more things to the list to streach out things that much more around the place.  That is what some still do not get around here at all even the kids that come over for my Niece.  I cut alot of the things off during the day becuase I can and it saves myself on the power bill later and that is what they all do not understand.  I guess thier parents never cared on what the kids did and they bring in enough in thier pay checks also.  Well at this point I am not rich at all and do not want to be rich at all.  So I will streach out what I can around here and I do not mind it what so ever.  Then this way nobody can say that I am spoiling my Niece around the place at all.  Not only that I knew that some have not got the girl ready for the real world at all so I have been trying to teach her alot of things for when she does fly the coup around here.  Now to get dressed around here and get the paper.
