As quietly as possible…

Write about your approach to budgeting.

Not only is a good budget impossible to approach in our current society, but whatever that thing is in the image… you don’t want to get close to that thing either.

The art program I’m using was just as frustrating and disappointing as a budget I didn’t agree to, what with offering me a rabid African deer instead of a roaring lion. Typical budget, these days!

I had to give up on budgeting about six years ago, when Covid landed on our country’s shores. When you lose everything you own, fall through every crack in the fabric of society, and wind up homeless at the bottom of the proverbial human pile… a budget no longer helps.

With my husband back in college gaining a new career path, my health has kept me homebound, and alone. Mornings are spent in scripture and prayer, then to my writing… that’s the only budget I’m approaching.

God willing, my book will fall into the hands of a competent publisher, and perhaps then I’ll have need of approaching a budget. One needs to have actual dollars in hand if they’re to do anything, really.

I used to say that you can’t leave home without spending money, but that’s changed since Amazon. Now you can spend money without even getting up out of your bed. Isn’t that a hoot!

That’s what I love about baking virtual cookies… they’re free! No budget needed here.

Want one?

Shhhhhhh….

Write about your approach to budgeting.

There’s only one good way to approach a budget, in my opinion. You have to pretty much sneak up on it and take hold, before it gets away. Trust me… if it sees you coming, your budget will leave you in the dirt, wondering where on earth it went!

Cookie?

Safely and Quietly…

Step 1 – The first thing to keep in mind, is that we must be very very quiet. Approach slowly, making no sudden movements or noises.

Step 2 – Make sure that you have brought enough bags of seeds, as they often congregate in large groups.

Step 3 – If you can whistle, they seem to love that, so whistle away.

Step 4 – Most often they will come right down and settle on your shoulders, head, or even the camera.

I don’t think they will bite you, unless you try harm them or put em in a cage or something. I’m not an expert Budgie approacher, so I can only write about my own safe practices. I simply try to capture pictures, feed them yummy seeds, and if I am incredibly gentle, they will allow me to pet them on their fluffy heads.

All in all, I feel rather confident in sharing my tips on how to approach a Budgie… wait… oh… oops! I thought the question asked me to describe my approach to Budgies, not Budgets. My bad… as far as talking about budgets… it’s for the birds!

Here, have some Budgie Biscuits…
