Because my usual grocery is not carrying certain brands anymore, I went to one farther away. I found most of what I wanted except frozen meatballs, so I got another brand. That will be my biggest adventure for awhile of getting out of my comfort zone.

I bought some minced venison last week and froze them into meatballs... I'm not keen on beef .. so this way I get to have meatballs without beef.. (y)
 

The job interview went well, I think. Don’t know how many ppl are vying for the same spot but it would be ideal for me: Wednesday afternoon/early evening then Thursday.

made some soup with a base of what was billed as ‘chicken tortilla’ soup but was really just “fire” + leftover chicken and a can of Progresso Corn chowder. Just about perfect 😁

let the cat in, let the cat out. Repeat ad nauseam 🐈

is the job close to your home CS ?
 
Went to cardiologist, surgery will be this Thursday for the new pacemaker. Apparently your heart stopping a couple times is a big deal. 🙄

Shopping at Costco (it’s next to the hospital) for a package of cheese, nut/fruit snacks, and some sweet bread. People were crazed. I did not think I’d get out alive. 😂.

The counting for the House of Representatives seems to have halted, gone underground, or slowed considerably. It is now ”blue team” 204 and “red team” 212. There is a lot of blah, blah, blah, on CNN but no announced progress. 19 seats still to be counted.

I watch a show called “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver”. He showed the egging of the King of England incident, but what interested me more was a guy who asked the King about why, when people could not afford to heat their houses, the monarchy was getting 100 million dollars a year in tax money 😮. After that question the egging came.

Then the show showed a fraction of the private income the royals received from things they owed, investments etc. They are very rich so I don’t understand why they get tax money. Anyway, the host mentioned that parts of this show, which is seen in England/Britain were censored by something called “SKY”.

I never knew tv in England/Britain was censored. Does anyone know if this is true?

Yes, indeed, @Aneeda72, your heart stopping a couple times is definitely a big deal. It's an even bigger deal when it stops and stays stopped:oops: Thursday is a good day for replacing your pacemaker. Is it going to be outpatient or will they make you stay overnight?

In either case, good luck and God bless. Nice to know you'll be around to eat fruitcake!
 
Did our running around chores. After donations were made, I went in the store. I was shocked at how low the prices were. There were collector plates, many still in the boxes, many Norman Rockwell; all were $5. Nice china was .75 a plate, etc. Some of the things that I’ve been keeping for a garage sale next spring will now be donated. No point trying to sell things that are lower costs in a store.

The place that wasn’t cheap was the grocery store and it just a bag of groceries and a jug of milk. Over $50.
 
Today I esigned a document of mortgage financing disclosures which was depressing (its a 30yr mortgage but the disclosure said after 5 years I will have paid $25k in loan costs and only paid off less than 3k of principal - I hate the way mortgages work!).

Then I went 'window shopping' in stores that sell furniture and mattresses and was very disappointed. I knew things would cost more than I want to pay, but I thought it would be fun to look at some cute options. Instead, everything was too big (I'm short), too overstuffed, no back support, etc., plus not even cute. I'm not sure what I want but whatever it is I guess it is not in style.

The hotel I'm staying at has disappointed me today also, I've been waiting for the manager to come back this week because the weather has changed and I want to use the treadmill and she was the only one who would know the status of them getting a new safety key (treadmill won't run without it and someone carried it off). I expected the key should be arriving any day, but she said the hotel corporate office hasn't approved her purchase request yet. OMG, I am so frustrated.
 
It was raining when I woke up today about 12:30pm. I have that new sleeping med but it is not helping me fall asleep. I went to be at11:30pm but did not fall asleep until 4. I will say once I fall asleep I sleep well,

Extra bonus, when I wake up I have no pain. My muscles relax and that tight feeling in my head, shoulders and neck are gone. That alone is a miracle when you suffer chronic migraines.

I went out to pick up a prescription. Since I had $24 dollars of extra bucks rewards I needed to use up so I went in. Got a $17 dollar bottle of purple shampoo and a little pen type thing for trimming your eyebrows, upper lip. I have had one before and really liked it. They had them on clearance for $9.99. I paid out of pocket just 3.50.

Liquor store for vodka for the house. Grocery store for milk, half and half, pork rinds. I love them and the dogs will come right in the house when I show them the bag. Now, the littles I can go out and pick up. When Bear the big chow gets to barking that is not easy, can't pick him up, can't drag him but I have discovered his weakness.

I also found the elusive romaine hearts, so I grabbed a cucumber and green bell pepper. I must say the Walmart was packed. You would think that Thanksgiving was this week. I guess it was the weather. I think I should check that but I don't have to worry about going out anytime soon! It was good to get out for a little while.

Yeah, that mortgage thing is crazy, paying all the interest first and then the principle. That is one thing I am grateful for, the house is paid off. I only have to worry about the upkeep. I am not familiar with the kind of property you have purchased. Is any of the maintenance or repairs included in your new home?

I will stay here until the end unless I get to the point I need assisted living. A big part of that is my pets. They need a yard to run and play. My Mom's assisted living allowed small dogs and cats, that is what I would look for when and if the time comes.

I would ask for a discount for your stay at that hotel. That was listed as an amentity of the facility. I would contact corporate and let them know of your displeasure that the service was not available and that it should have been fixed in 24 hours.

That is the cost of providing promised services, if something is wrong they should fix it. You are paying money for a service that has not been provided. Ask them if they have heard the customer is our pirority, always right, and there is such a thing as UPS and FedX overnight. They may think you are just some senior that can't do any damage.
Wrong!! There are plenty of people that would listen to you say don't use this hotel. I am one of them.

GG,, I added some to the soup when I started.
Afraid to put too much .
Did that in some other chicken dish,, was Too salty

I have used these products and I like them but they must be used in moderation, they are indeed to salty and I love salt. Just use a very small amount until you figure out what meets your taste.

What was the recipe you used? I have one that is very good, not to hot. And most of it is just opening cans. The little bit of heat comes from a can of rotel. It also freezes very well.

As far as the cat, I have three dogs. I count that as exercise, it is constant!

My thoughts and prayers will be with you….hope it goes well for you this time.
You’re no way ready to check out…..get through your procedure…..and come back to us and post when you’re able to.
TAKE EXTRA CARE.
 
@HoneyNut, I don't know your situation. How much furniture you need. I will say that I have used wayfair in the past. The only thing I have purchased it two club chairs in faux leather. This was a time when my son and his family where here. They wanted to have a superbowl party and I was concerned about seating, so I bought these two chairs.

They are sturdy and firm, all I had to do was put on the legs. Later, the grandson decided to color on them, it cleaned right up with windex. I am just saying it could be an option. If you find things in your price range that might work, it can't hurt.

I am normally one of those that spend months looking for furniture. I know what I want and what I am willing to pay. I have been looking for a new couch for about two years. There is only one on wayfair that I have on my list. If and when it goes down in price that might be the one.

Cooked some carrots for my dog tonight. Watching the evening news. How is everyone doing today ☺️

I think your baby is a she, does she like raw carrots. My littles love raw carrots and green beans for treats. The big boy no so much, but all 3 like red grapes.

I keep canned peas and carrots in the pantry as they like those mixed in with their dry food. What other people food do you give her?

Yes she's a she. Named Suzy. She likes most raw vegetables as well as cooked. She also likes strawberries and blueberries 🫐 and all kinds of poultry and meat. I give her little bits of everything. As for sweets I may give her a tiny bit. Too much upsets their stomach. She also loves her doggie treats. I get her Fruitables , chewy sticks and a peanut butter treat.

“Bigger deal when it stays stopped”. 😂😂😂. Unless there are issues outpatient. Same two lead pacemaker I got before only it will be put in a sleeve filled with antibiotics and I will get IV antibiotics before and during surgery which I should have had before.

Thanks. Looking forward to the fruitcake for sure.
