Another POO Birthday

He is 8 and running around like he is just 8 months instead of 8 years old.
I found a sale on his favorite treats and stocked up by buying 10 containers. He likes for me to toss them so that he can run and pounce on them. He also got a big bag of rawhide chips and I think they will last a year or so as he doesn't chew on the one I gave him...he put it in his living room bed and when I look at it he runs to his bed and lays over it and protects it as if it as if he were a mother dog with a just born puppy.

As sometimes happens with my Food Budget, both stores had a Seasonal Sale and instead of $135/mo for Food and Household supplies so I ended up spending a Total of $232.00. That is enough Food, except for Milk and Veggies, to keep me for 3 Months. POO's part was $25.00 and the on-going Household items were $26.00 so for actual Food I spent $181.00 and that dived by 3 is about $60.60 per month for 3 months. Not too bad. I will have to buy more Milk and Veggies along the way.

Still watching the Weather. It is beautiful at the moment but this is tornado season.

I had the bright idea to stop by a local store and buy 6 bags of growing soil for my planned Patio Garden. I didn't plan on them being so heavy. I drove around for a couple of weeks with them on the back seat of my car and when I finally got up the courage to try to put them on the Patio I stashed POO with a neighbor and used my wheelchair to help me move them. Will not be doing anything like that again!

Got to order my Seeds this week.

Computer crapped out on me again. Both of the men who messed up the Motherboard replacement no longer work at the store and that is a relief. The Manager had me bring it in and my CD Burner was shot and the Floppy Drive was gone too. Dust. Same thing that destroyed my Motherboard. They swapped out those and tested the PC and it works again. I like the new Tech so I'm going to get him to take out the MB and Processor that is in my case now and put in a Combo unit I have. I'm still running my PC with the side off the case to help keep it cool. As money is tight I will have to wait for a new Hard Drive and CD-ROM Drive and another Case. One thing I know for sure is that I never want another case without a Clear Side. I want to be able to See my Components!
Off to do something...
best,
