On the Mend

We are on the mend. Ronin’s fever is completely gone. We are all a snotty mess, but that’s better than the previous symptoms. I was even able to do some crafting last night. I’ll post pictures of Roni’s oven mit. Have I mentioned the haircut yet? Oh, I’ll just have to post pictures of that too. It’s too bad to describe. Let’s just say, it’s a cross between “just enlisted” and “junior Hitler”. Poor baby. Good thing hair grows.

I actually felt well enough to take advantage of my 50% off coupon for Value World (VW, but not to be confused with Volkswagon). It’s a thrift store that has good prices, without a coupon. So today I bought…
For Nico: a working etch-i-sketch, 3 pairs of jeans, & one pair of shorts.
For myself: one pair of pants, one pair of capris, & a sweater.
For Roni: three pairs of pants (2T and up- for the future), one pair of jeans, two hoodies.
For the Household: an unopened package of plastic Easter eggs & two baskets.
My total was $18.50. I think that I did rather well.

Also, we’ve been job hunting like crazy when we have felt well enough. The job scores are…

Job Application Score: Nico 8, Goldie 7

Purchases today: $18.50 at Value World
Purchases yesterday: $160-ish at Costco and Val’s Pet Supply. We needed the monthly round of dog food, cat food, litter, etc.

Wow! way to go on the job apps. You guys are getting out there. Also nice finds at value world. I am sad I couldn't go. I think K is all better though.
