To stay on track of the sub:

Our HOA sucks and have only gotten worse in these last couple years. We got a letter for grass growing in between the cracks on the sidewalk. My 81 year old neighbor got a letter because of her outdoor chair/stool she sits in to garden was on was too visible, even though it was on the SIDE OF HER HOUSE by her water hose. I live next her and never noticed it.

Now back to follow-up on the caption:

My neighbors kids live with him and so does his wife's mom, they all have cars but one of their cars can't fully fit in their driveway, they've been given several fines because the trunk sticks out into the street. They're behind on their fines and have recently been threatened with a foreclosure and that's when he reached out to me. We've only ever spoken to each other maybe 10 times in the eight years I've been here and most of those interactions were because of my Halloween decorations. Anyways, I have no problem with them using my driveway for two reasons 1. I'm a renter which is technically illegal in this neighborhood 2. I hate HOA.

Today I'm just going to focus on my rings, hoops, pearls and opals. I hate cleaning but I love my jewelry. Plus, I still can't move very much due to this hamstring injury, so might as well do what I can. At least until the next world cup match! ⚽🥅

The chips and crackers are for an upcoming work pot luck.

The cheese and salmon will last 2 weeks. I'll cook one salmon tonight and freeze the other. Both will feed us for at least two days.

The sandwich meat will be put in the freezer and will last several weeks.

The meatballs will feed us for two days. Paired with spaghetti and salad.

Dumplings will be paired with the Salmon and will last two weeks.

All of the fresh produce will all be eaten by Sunday.

The almonds and wonton strips should last set weeks and will go with our salads.

We'll have one can of chili this week with hotdogs and one next month.

The oat milk will go with oatmeal and cereal that I already have. And the yogurt will go with strawberries that I have from last week's haul.

The toilet paper, foil, boxed lasagna, ramen, and couscous will last several months. I really just got the cheap ramen because I've been craving jailhouse noodles. Lol. And the boxed lasagna is great to have on lazy days, and is being discontinued. :(

✨✨✨✨✨

*I have a lot of protein in my freezer so yes, I'll eat more than just a bag of chips and carbs. I also have broccoli, carrots, apples, and strawberries (now frozen) from last week.*

Working from home is funny. The rest of me looks like Adam Sandler. 😅

I buy what I can afford and work with what I have. Mix of 10k, 14k, sterling silver and stainless steel.

Again, no need for much as I have plenty of protein in the freezer, carbs in the pantry, potatoes from last week's haul, tuna for sandwiches, and plenty of snacks for everything in-between.

How lucky am I!? My sweet boy, Paulie, hated me just five or so years ago. Now here we are. I love him so much.

Feeling a bit defeated so I'm wearing everything I love to help keep my mind distracted.

My husband got me three of these rings for our two year anniversary. 😭 Everything but the necklace will illuminate a fluorescent glow after I turn off the blacklight. It's such a fascinating gemstone.

These are originally 21.99. I got them each for 7.04 These should last me and my partner a few months! :)

Originally, the granola bars are 21.99 EACH but I got three for $21.12, they will last several months and thankfully don't expire soon. These types of deals help me out a lot because I like to give snacks to the gentlemen that pick up the trash.

The bread, chips and shredded cheese will last about three weeks, the oat milk a couple months.

The apples and parmesan should last about two weeks, the chips and sliced cheese a few weeks, and the toilet paper and hair paste a couple of months.

I still have a ton of food in the freezer and pantry, honestly I didn't need the fish but I forgot to bring food out of the freezer so I needed something for today.
