Budgets, Plans, Lists!

Ooff am I tired! Got some yard work done for Mom - we are both not used to that and are beat and will be sore tomorrow. Trimmed trees and they look better for it so it was worth it.
Also been doing a lot of planning and figuring and Mom has been a big help. Looked at plans for solar dryers and found one I can make from cardboard boxes - this would be a wonderful way to try this out without a lot of expense so I like it. Need to find some way to do the trays but I can do it with boxes from work and some small modifications. Add that to the projects list!
Started a list of budget meals and came up with a lot of ideas, enough to maybe do two or three a week. Mom is great with food ideas! This could really help in the budget department and make meal time more interesting. This is always a bit of a challenge for me because I have multiple food allergies and sensitivies. Gluten, Dairy, Sugar and Citrus are the main ones. Funny thing is that I can eat all the lemons I want without problems, a little orange once in awhile is okay but greatfruit and tangerines give me major migraines. Bah! Some sugar is okay but I do better if I avoid. Similiar with goat milk, okay once in awhile but try not to use too often. If it works out I will post the list.
I've been making a lot of lists, plans and then more lists - I've always done lists but not always plans to go with them. It really helps to focus my thoughts and I think it will be a big help keeping me on track this year. Sure hope so... there is a lot to get done!!
