Last Sunday morning I awoke early in my hotel room and washed some laundry in the tub with detergent I had brought from home. I used the hotel hangers to hang everything on to dry. I find doing small batches of laundry helps a lot to keep me in clean clothes while I am here. It is surprisingly easy to wash laundry in a bathtub. I got a small cup of yogurt and a banana from the daily breakfast offerings and made coffee in my room. After a hot shower I got dressed and headed out to Aldi to pick up a few fresh produce items. Preparing my own meals in my hotel room each day not only saves me money, but I have much healthier meals this way too.
I stopped in at Dollar Tree and purchased a few office supply items and a bottle of clear nail polish. When I got back to my hotel I gave myself a manicure and used the office supplies to draw up some landscaping plans I've been working on lately. I also wrote a letter and then walked down to the post office to mail it. It was a lovely day in Minnesota and I thoroughly enjoyed my quiet Sunday.
In between appointments I was able to work remotely Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I appreciated the diversion and the opportunity to earn a little bit of income. Thursday and Friday were full days, but then I was kicked loose and got to start making my way home taking it low and slow. I was just really glad to be headed in that direction. I am more than ready to be home with my kiddo and my kitties. I miss them so much.
At this time I still have some future appointments to complete but all of the testing is done for now, thankfully, and while I do have some answers I don't have them all yet. I am still very much a work in progress. All I want to do now is get home and sleep in my own bed.
I hope you all had a wonderful thrifty week and I wish you all the best for a great thrifty week ahead.
