This is a different kind of Healthy Tip on Tuesday post, but it is just as important for your overall health as any other tip, because it can cause financial stress and other stress-related issues that can affect your health and wellbeing. If you live in the USA, then you know that the government just […]
I will leave you to ponder what this quote may mean to you. Leave me a comment and let me know. I suggest it will be different for everyone, the thought of what matters. I am so much happier now that I left my job doing 12-hour shifts every weekend, to 8-hour shifts, 2 days […]
Hello, and welcome to Friday. Have you joined the challenge, yet? Each week I spend 21 dollars per person, per week, on groceries. There are 3 in my home at this time, so that is 63 dollars per week. At first, it was a pantry challenge as well to see if I with CKD could […]
