/ Some ways I have found to help my budget or acquire products that I can’t afford is to get free samples or do reviews on products. I signed up to get free products from Perrigo by joining Perrigo store brand samples member. I have received over $200 worth of products to try and review. All the products I have received have been useful or wants like beauty products. You can fill out a form /https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/78XC3VZ for the opportunity to be invited to their sampling community.
So windy and cold
It is 6 degrees F where I live. Cold is not bad but the 20 mph winds is horrid. I had to put window film on windows to keep drafts out. It was impossible to keep house warm at night. Hearing the furnace run during the night makes me anxious. Propane prices and having a low tank sucks.
Walmart grocery pickup orders
Cost of groceries that I usually purchase have started going up in price. I have been placing Walmart pickup orders in the app. I can add items as I think of meals and snacks I want while watching the order total.
You can save $10 on your first three orders with code TRIPLE10, with a $50 minimum.
You can pay by Ebt, credit, or debit.

Voting
I voted by absentee ballot this year. I was able to make my choices at home and mail it in. I received an email when my ballot arrived. I am so sick of how things are going in Michigan and in our government. I hope everyone was able to get their votes in today.
Winds
Today was warm with high winds. My grandsons outside toys have been blown all over the yard. I have to wait until daylight to see damage.
We lost power and I don’t have much candle left. I would go to bed but I had coffee a few hours ago. Ugh, I’m so bored.

Wind
I am so angry
A lot of things have been happening that I don’t feel good about. I’ve been feeling angry. I have been concentrating on work and doing what I can at home.
Social media is draining. Misinformation, people being mean, and unwanted opinions that creep you out. it’s not fun for me anymore.
I rarely discuss political topics. I do my own research and have my own opinions. Discussions and friendly debates can be good. Meanness, lies, and hatred I can do without.
I filled out my absentee ballot at home. I work so much that it was convenient for me.
The news. I feel news agencies have turned into gossip, here say, click baiting articles that don’t tell you shit.
Things happening in the news is breaking my heart.
I am sick of people who say one thing while doing the opposite. Consistency is not hard. I’m tired. I’m angry. I’m not feeling good. I’m not happy.
