hubby got paid yesterday. It was about what i expected it to be minus the 2K he had to borrow for bills.
So we went to the store and did our grocery shopping. I thought maybe 2-3 hundred… We spent 500 on groceries. At least its done. Bills come out tomorrow then i need to give my mom a bit of money to help with the bills. Im trying to lesson our impact on their household by at least giving bill money.
I found a few state parks i want to visit. Im going to have to buy a yearly park pass though. Its either 8 dollars a visit, or 80 for the year. And i know ill use it. Better to have it then not. Im going to have to look at where the closest parks are and see what there is to do locally. Im trying to keep these kids at least walking. It was beautiful today. 58 and sunny. But windy.It was from the south so it was a warm wind. The weird winter here has me longing for spring. Or some snow haha. But clearly it dosent snow on the high plains in Colorado. Just 20- 50 degrees at random. You never know what you are going to get. Looks like pretty nice this week though.
There is a rabbit show this weekend and im debating headed up there for a look see. I cant afford to enter rabbits so i wont even bother trying.
I got two new buns this week. Both were given to me.
The doe is Ebony/Sparkles and then her brother was dropped off yesterday. Jack. They are black and broken black ( black n white). The boyo seems a wee bit sick. Hes got a snotty nose. So im going to keep him in quarantine for a while and see about cleaning it up. Its likely stress from the car ride. But in the off chance its illness im keeping him alone. Hes acting fine. Eating and drinking good. Spending time in the house with the kids and generally doing crazy bunny things. The doe is doing great. Im being careful not to handle the other buns after holding Jack. I dont want to risk it is a bacterial infection and it transferring to the other buns. That is the risk and fear. It can kill them.

In other small news. I lost a few lbs. I noticed my rings were not fitting super tight in the morning. And throughout the day its not super tight. In fact they feel quite loose right now. I look to have lost about 5 lbs. Which is good. Ive been reducing my soda cravings and not really snacking as much. As well as not eating as much during the day. I still have a good 40 lbs to loose. But its a start. Now i have to keep it off too. Tomorrow my sister wants to hike something called the incline. Its .7 of a mile and goes up 2K feet in altitude. I think im going to die. I can barely handle a hill at 5K feet above sea level. I huff like a cow. Shes all grab your inhalers and camera. Like i can lug 20 lbs of camera bag up the mountain too?! But i know me. If i make it, i would regret not having the camera. So huff i must… With water too. Lots of water..

I suppose i should get back to my book and spinning wheel.
