I worked last night and came back in on my off day. AT 5AM! I received 5 1/2 extra hours should have 30 hrs this week.) I am grateful and tired. I plan a little nap and then I have to get on with lawn work. Finish one load of hand laundry, work on cleaning out the car and get some sleep for a busy day Wednesday.
I wasted money today as I bought 2 sodas and a biscuit. I bought a tea and some cookies for dinner last night. I need to work on the discipline a little more.
Good News: The light bill came in at $120 ( has been $200.) My goal is to get the next bill in at under $100.
I have had trouble turning ALL the lights out whether at home or when away. A little over 2 years ago, I walked into my home to find a burglar. I walloped him with a hammer and he came back while I was (2 blocks away )at the police department filling out the report. He ripped the door frame out. He also returned a few months later after I had burglar bar door installed. It has only been this year that I could sleep in a dark room.
SOOO, I am making strides in that area. I am learning to sleep in a dark house. I am learning to turn out ALL lights when I leave. I am learning to use a flashlight when I enter the house. I am seriously considering getting several solar lights that can charge during the day and be used at night ( dollar tree)

I love the idea of solar power, please report if you decide to install. We've used 'motion' lights which turn themselves off after a set period.
hmmm tea and cookies don't sound like a nutritious dinner. What products are safe to leave in the trunk of the car or carry in a tote? I'm wondering about small tins of broken shrimp, trail mix, crackers and single serving tins of fruit.

The tea and cookies was not planned. I was busy and forgot to eat before work. I bought the cookies when I should have made a better choice. I normally carry a lunch or snack in order to save from eating out. Thanks for the reminder, I just packed my lunch for tomorrow.
