Beautiful day today

It's 64 degrees right now and not a cloud in the sky. Husband was gone most of the morning. Then came home and started measuring. He then went and got prices on windows for our enclosed porch. YAY... we are gonna replace the old windows. Some don't really even fit...and they are very old windows. Then I started counting the money I had saved. His eyes bout popped out of his head. Then I said oops here's some more. He just shook his head in disbelief. And I've been doing grocery shopping and every time the kid needs money for school lunches or piano lessons or tournaments, I dole it out. Hubby uses the credit card to get gas. I don't do that. I pay in cash. It's all good! Anyway, he asked me if I wanted him to go ahead and order the windows...it would take 7 to 10 days for them to get in. I told him the guy that's doing our siding may not be working on the house for awhile anyway. Today would've been nice day for him and his workers to finish if they could. But I imagine he had other plans for the weekend.
Am wondering if walmart has seed packets in yet. I wanna get started on planting seeds. Tomorrow is first of February, and that is what day I figured I would start planting in my own little homemade peatpots. Amazing what a warm sunshiney day does to a person's attitude. There's a strong breeze, but nice and warm....warm to me anyway. Thinkin bout goin to walmart. eh... I try not to go there often....because I don't want to spend money.
Kid is going to pick up the acorns all over the old flower bed. I don't need more baby oaks growing..especially where I'm going to plant veggies!
Monday will sorta be a good day and sorta not. I will be fretting about going to see the doctor. I need to start taking some medicine again, so need to see him first. And then, if I don't chicken out, will tell him about my bad knee. I'm just not the type to go to the doctor for every little thing. Yes that is why we pay insurance. But I just hate having to pay a doctor bill. Insurance pays only so much. And then they wanna argue that it is pre-existing. UGH! I know I need to walk more. But with my knee in the shape it's in....it would be a bit hard on me. Taking glucosamine and chondroitin should help a little.
Enough wallowing in self pity. Still worried about my job and keeping it. Budget cuts will be very hard on a lot of people, so I may not have a job come August. I will know possibly between April and June. Who knows what will happen with hubby's job as well. Everyone has problems. And right now....just keeping our heads above water is all we can do. So far so good.
Youngest son has a volcano about to erupt any moment now....about 100 miles from his home, but it is very powerful and will be explosive. His city will get a lot of the ash....he said he went to a volcano party at friends' house last night. Silly boy. If he gets a job he just interviewed for, there won't be many people around. He will be in the middle of nowhere. But he's always said he wanted to be away from all the hustle and bustle and crime. Just live in the wilderness. Sometimes I feel that would be great. You would take anything for granted. Everything you used and needed, you had to work very hard for....maybe even MAKE stuff to use. Warmth...you'd have to cut firewood...also to cook with. Go to a town somewhere to stock up on nonperishables.....once in a while. Not like going to walmart whenever the mood hits or whenever needing one ingredient for something. It would have to be well thought and planned out...maybe once a month go to a store somewhere to get what's needed....not what is wanted.
Need to get some knitting done....been too long since I've finished some squares and some dishcloths. Need to get some different ones made for the reunion coming up in 4 months or so. That is something to look forward to. ..besides the end of school and start of summer vacation. :o)
Right now....I have hope. I just need to remember that there is hope....for the state of this country, financially and politically (they go hand in hand), and that we can get through all this crap. No matter how bleak things look....
