Yesterday, G got all the information about his
shifts up north. He will be going to La Ronge and policing the town
as there have been quite a few break and enters – people taking advantage of a
shitty situation. He needs to bring a weeks supply of water and food, but I’m
not going to consider this part of our food budget as it will all get
reimbursed. Oh and they warned him about the horse flies, I guess they are
pretty bad up there so bug spray is also a must.
We talked things over and any extra
money he will be making while helping up there will be going to our vacation
fund. He has a minimum of 20 hours of overtime plus full incidentals for 7 days
so it’ll be a nice bump for our Vegas trip in October. Work hard now to play
hard later, lol. Joking of course, G and I don’t even drink alcohol.
Budget wise this week has been very
good. Groceries are at $147 currently but I need to make a quick run to the
grocery store tomorrow to stock up for the week. Although now that it’s only
going to be me to feed it’ll be cheap. Tonight I'm making Beef Stroganoff
for dinner– all ingredients we had in the house except onion soup. G is
currently making a rhubarb pie for dessert – rhubarb was picked for free from a friend’s
garden and we had the piecrust in the pantry! So it’s been a very inexpensive and
‘home-made’ weekend. J
