My goal is to use up everything in the chest deepfreeze, then move on to the upright. So, last yesterday I pulled out a package of meat. Its marked brisket. We have no idea where it came from or how long its been there. I thawd it out--it looks & smells perfectly fine, so its in the oven now. But, I still don't know if its beef or deer. One side looks like beef, the other side looks like deer. At the worse, its 2 years old. But, the freezer has never been off, so I'm not too worried about it.
I don't have excell, and my quicken seems to have dropped off my PC. I have searched online for a free budget sheet I could download, but can't find one. So, I am making my own in word. I will also get my laptop fired up. I can't remember if it has quicken on it or not. Last year I had a virus, and had to take the computers in to get repaired. When I got them back, half the stuff was gone. Worse of all, my PC no longer has guinene windows on it, so I can not get updates anymore. That stinks. I am waiting for it to warm up a couple more degrees, (at least to teh double digits)then I am off to water stock, shower and go to town. I have decided to put an ad in the paper to babysit from home part time. My meger income will be ending at the end of May (after school care at school). So, if I could get a couple babysitting jobs starting now, it would help offset that. I earn after taxes, $275 a month-which covers my gas to take the girls to and from school. Since I have to pick them up anyway, this job is no extra gas. But, on the other side, when school is out, we won't be driving back and forth to school, so I won't have as big of a gasoline expense.
