Day 7/Moneysaver Monday*

Update on FIL. He is now discharged from the hospital and is at home. He is going to have another MRI in a month. He is walking.talking.eating on his own. He recognizes everyone and  in general, I thin doing extremely well, considering his scare merely a week ago.

NK will be back  the week of 26-27-28th Nov. Long story, the American embassy in Singapore, the earliest appt date is 23rd Nov and thats the date he is going to go with. I am pissed but what can I do? The stupid embassy will be close for 10 days for Apec meetings which Singapore is hosting. Why the embassy has to close is beyond me! Sigh…

I have 2 sitters lined up to help me in case I need them. They work at the gym’s daycare and the kids know them well. One of them is going to come tomorrow. I dont have my photography class because of some election but have a preschool meeting which I need to attend. I am looking forward to getting away from the monsters. MY crying has also stopped, in case you were wondering.

On an unrelated note, if anyone of you works or knows someone who works in the analytics industry in Delhi (Statistical Modeling, Data Analysis and forecasting), could you help  TnD out.

I bought these 2 things a while ago.

scarf2 (19)

It looks dirty because I have been wearing it. Its was brand new with $49.99 tag

Keds Shoes $4.99 at my fav thrift store

scarf2 (24)
$1 at a garage sale

 

The inside 

It’s a bit too big for daily use but for $1? I am sure I could find a use for it.

    Glad to hear about your FIL getting better. Sorry NK is taking longer to come back.

    It is great to hear that you have comfortable sitters you could count on. It took me a long time to find a sitter that will work for my toddler. It is a comfort to have a reliable one and you have two, that is great.

    Me: This would be the first time she is babysitting for me but because she watches them at the gym, I dont have any concerns.
    Your thrift finds are great, it is amazing how you squeeze in time for your interests in between children. Great going..

    Me: You just make time for stuff you like I guess.

    How on earth you come across such awesome finds at ridiculously low prices – tat too with tags(:rolling eyes)….I envy you big timme :)

    Btw, I went for my first thrift shop hunt 2 weeks back, of course inspired from your majesty’s posts:)

    I got 1 cute necklace ,some books, a halloween decor + a scarf. They had lot’s of clothes, but to be frank i didn’t even feel like touching them. It smelled like dust . I guess i went to the wrong place.

    Me: You know, all thrifts stores have the ummh weird smell. You just have to get used to it or buy retail :)
    But i am really happy that i made that trip ‘coz of the other finds…..Thank You dear.

    Me: Yay!

    I missed quite a few of your posts. Glad that your FIL is doing better. That must be a big relief.

    I really like that shoe! Looks great and comfortable as well.

    glad ur FIL is doing better!! the embassy stuff is crazy, even the ones in india need atleast 3 months advance reservation. anyways, looks like ur feeling better, so hang in there!

    Me: The ones in Singapore isnt normally this crazy. But because of the Apec thing, it seems like all dates are booked.
