Great Friday

 Hello all wanted to tell you I had a great I mean Great Friday! First when I went to get the free Grab & go from the Public School. You know they give you free breakfast and lunch. Well they were giving out  a package that had cheese, graham crackers, fruit, and some other good stuff. Also their sandwiches were pretty tasting looking to. I basically go for the cut up apples in a bag they are good .

I got my stimulus debit card in the mail. I almost throw that bad boy away but something told me to open it. The government is so sneaky they did not tell us that your stimulus money was going to be in a debit card and not a  government check. Luck thing I opened it and investigated why is some unknow bank sending me a debit card. A lot of people were not so luck  they also though like I did and threw the cards ways thinking that it was a scam. To replace the card  it it will cost you $7.50.  This bank who issued these card will be making a killing on replacement fees I bet.

Also I am just grateful for a new day of waking up each and everyday. I am blessed and thankful.

                                                   Well That's My Story What do You Think?

News!!!

                                                       Hello all Long Time 

Well here's the story so far. My gardener which sold the business to  his worker. Never notified his clients that he sold the business. The  worker rang my bell yesterday asking for payment. Mind you they just started doing the yard 2 months ago. The worker was nice and explained to me the situation about how he purchased the business etc. I started to let his company go because we could not see eye to eye on the bill.  But I  can be a sucker at some points so we agreed upon what I owed him already $260 for his work so far this year. I paid in cash and going forward I told him he was being watched and if I don't like the service that he is doing.  On to the next company because where I live we got plenty of lawn care companies.

Free lunch the schools are offering free breakfast and lunch because of  school shut downs. I passed  a school close to my house and the line was not that long. They said that if  people do not get the food for the day they throw it in the garbage. What a waste. So today I am going to get the free lunch and breakfast that is being given to adults after 11.30-1:30 today. Why let it go to waste.

                                               Well that's my story what do you think?

Scary Times

 Hello all well  here's the  story for the week. Scary Times. What I mean by that is that I have been watching videos on food banks and unemployment. I see how people  who have lost their jobs and have no income coming in get on line at  various  food banks at 5 am in the morning  just to get some food to feed their families. I also see how the government has put a lot of people on hold when it comes to them giving out  either stimulus  checks or unemployment. I know I am still waiting on information regarding  my unemployment check status and I have been waiting 4 weeks now.

I am looking  at all of these and counting my blessing that I am still able to  keep a roof over my head, food in my stomach and a car that's still running. Thank you God! I am also looking at why is it that every time I go to the grocery store it's $100 bucks. For those of us still able to afford food  if prices of food keep going up it won't be long before we join the people on the food line for our bag of groceries.
                   
                                                                 Stay Safe & Healthy                 

Saving Money!

 Hello all well here's the story for today. I am saving money at least a couple hundred a month which is good. My partner use to smoke 2-3 packs a week which here in New York cost$14 a pack. Now that he had a health scare and quite smoking not only does the house not smell of sale cigarettes' I am saving money which is a good thing.

I have applied for unemployment since  the jobs that I was getting  paid for has dried up. I applied in April and still have not heard from unemployment of acceptance or denied. I guess since about 22 million people have applied in all the states the  unemployment office is overwhelmed with claims. Well I hope they  get to me soon I would like my unemployment check. Or at least  send me my stimulus check that they promised.

Times are so crazy I didn't mind going to the supermarket before the craziness. But  now it's like a chore I hate. I am trying to ration  my groceries so that I only go to the grocery store once a month. For me going shopping has become  to stressful you have to wear masks, gloves, dodge people wipe down everything and everyone. My god when is this all going to Stop!!!

                                                          That's my story what do you think?  

Good News

Hello all well here's the story for the week. Atleast I been getting some good news with all the crazy things that's been going on. Good news I read that all state insurance policy holders will be getting a 15% credit on their policy because of the virus problem we are having. That means I should see a credit on my charge card  from them soon.

Good news. I see since a lot of people are staying home my online stores have seen an increase in people buying which is pretty good from me. Because I always say every little bit counts.

Good news I am glad the stock market is coming back a little because I am taking a blood bath when it comes to my stocks and bonds. So if the markets come back even a little that's less money I am losing. To me that's good news.

Good news yesterday I had to go to the pharmacy and yes I purchases a little bit of junk food but I got a senior discount which  gave me 30% off of everything I purchased which was about a $10 dollar saving in my pocket. I'll take it!

Good news I got up this morning drank a good cup of coffee and still have a roof over my head any time I can do that it's always a blessing and good news.

                                                    So that's my story what do you think?

Happy Wednesday

                                                                 

 

Hello all well here's the story for today. Bills I keep getting them even though we are on lock down until this virus thing is over. I know I though since I have a stay at home situation my bills would stop for a minute. Not happening. So I called Con Edison because they are suppose to come into the home and check the meter. Con Edison said that's not happening so I had to read the gas & electric meter myself and tell them the number. Which was good because I had a credit on my Con Edison bill which  was a blessing.

Also I am getting a lot of calls from real estate agents who I called about renting my rental in the early part of  the year. They are calling me back now to see if the house is still  empty . I don't know why they are calling  since mostly everything in  New York  and outside of it  are at a stand still. I have been telling them I will get back to them when things go back to normal I guess.  I am not ready to rent yet beside who's looking at rentals now with New York being on Lock down?

My ways to get income has dried up for the moment because of the Virus. So I am trying to figure out ways to make money on the internet any suggestions?

So that's My story What do you think?

Cooking

Hello all well here's my story so far. Being what the situation is which is staying at home until.. Who knows when. We are faced with some pretty tough challenges ahead of us. For me  that the places I normally order from  are closed. ( which I don't do to often) and with my partner not cooking as much as they use to the job now  is mine or we don't eat) Not sure if that's a good thing or not. I have challenged myself to learn how to reuse what I have to make leftovers. I have come to realize  that what I  was running away from  away from which was cooking is not to bad if you plan your meals and make them last for a least 2-3 days. Which I am working on doing. I will confess I am not the best cook, Heck I am not even ok but we can eat it and be thankful for it.. 

Also I am looking  at what I have at home and trying to make it last since the last thing I want to do is go back and forth to the grocery story. It was already stressful with out this Virus now it's more stressful to me. Because you have to be extra careful and wipe down everything. Put gloves , mask and extra layers on. Wipe down your food, shoes, mail. Oh my god this is so much to do and remember but it's for the best either do this or get sick.
