Had a client scheduled for this morning and yesterday it snowed all day so the roads were bad. My oldest son called and said he was going to be my chauffeur and what time should he get me. It was a sheet of ice so glad I wasn’t driving. When I was done 3 hours later I called and he cheerfully came back. In regard to not talking to anyone I talk to my dogs.

I don't have any dogs... my daughter who has 3 dogs also lives alone but she has a full time job and a very active and busy social life. I tell her she needs to let me have a dog.. she said she'll fight me for it.. :ROFLMAO:
 
We took Deja to get her stitches removed this afternoon. Now with her cone removed she can get back to her mischief making full force. 😺 In fact, she's messing with me as I'm typing this. Deja healed well, thank goodness and is in good health. Our fur baby is growing up! She's 8 pounds, normal for her age (a little more than 6 months). She was less than 2 pounds when she got me on Labor Day weekend. After we got back, my son and I ate dinner together (his from scratch bean soup) and talked.

We discussed our next studio projects which led me to practice a bit after finding yet another version of the song we have to send to the sax player. It's the one he really should be playing to. This means my son has to transfer the rhythm tracks into his digital program again. 🙄 He took it well. I watched two episodes of The Equalizer, took a nap, played Cody Cross and WWF.
 
I did get to the grocery store. Got lots of snacks, gallon of milk, some thin cut round steak. The round steak will be made into what I call Swiss steak, others might call it pepper steak. Feeling lazy not wanting to cook at all, I picked up some Bob Evans mashed potatoes. That is a splurge, I can cook my own just don't want to.

Since I have not the energy or desire to cook right now. I went and reviewed frozen dinners. They are very expensive now. I did not see any that seemed worth the costs. Does anyone out there eat frozen meals and what would you say are good. I hate to spend the money and then just throw it out.

@hollydolly made me want donuts. They had Krispy Kreme in 6 or 12 count boxes. I grabbed a 6 count. There was no price listed. They came up as 7.50 for that box. Heck to the no! That is ridiculous. I can go to my favorite donut shop and pick from all kinds of specialty pastries for that cost. My problem is I am always asleep when they are open. What is a girl to do LOL!

I did speak to a human today. The conversation "Cash or Card", "Card" "Register 8"
I have a very busy social life as you can see.

@Blessed, I like some of Amy’s frozen dinners, especially the Indian ones. Also Lean Cuisine or Healthy choice are generally good (just not the “spa” line—blek) and I decrease the cost by dividing the portions in 1/2 and adding my own fresh vegetable to supplement, giving me 2 servings instead if one
 
Glorious day this morning. Supposed to last all day. I might go out , I need to take some things to the charity shop, and also go to the Post office.. I'll see how I feel later.

@Blessed, Krispy kremes' are a shocking price here too.. just last night I noticed they were for sale at £2.75 EACH.. in my supermarket. The thing is that the supermarket has it's own brand Donuts for sale right next to them, they taste exactly the same..and are £5 per dozen.. :D it's a no Brainer
 
😭It's gonna rain all day😭 and most of tomorrow😭 I'll be at work tomorrow so won't care. And then? Ater what we've been told will be tornadoes, it's gonna turn cold again so the heat will have to be turned on.

I read an article about cats and their behavior. A lot of it was how to interpret the movement of their tails. Maggiecat doesn't have a tail so all of that part of the article is just by-guess-and-by-golly for me😺

Hair needs to be blued. It's such a nuisance, but there's nothing much else to do today.

Maybe I'll have something to eat first.

Well, I hope you are proud of posting that donut picture. I actually still have not gone to bed. I waited until 5AM and went to the local donut shop, not a chain. I am now the proud owner of at least a baker's dozen, plus donut holes they give you. I have blueberry, cinnamon cake, lemon filled, apple fritters and cinnamon rolls. I decided to go all in, they freeze well. I will say what used to be about $15 is now closer to $20. Still a good deal IMO. If I had a cell phone, I would tempt you back!!

Yes, that is what I normally do. I usually will pull one out and place it the fridge overnight if I want one for breakfast. The glazed doughnuts, apple fritters and cinnamon rolls are tasty when you warm them in the microwave. I have never tried to freeze the lemon filled, maybe I will run a test for us. Don't tell anybody, but I will put a nice dab of butter when I warm them. Not something I can have every day but nice to have the convenience of having them at home. Grandson is coming tomorrow so he will eat some and take some home with him.

Been out doing a few bits in the garden, it feels very warm in the sun, there's no wind at all..

The hedgehogs have eaten all the mealworms overnight. I won't put anymore out until it gets dark otherwise the wood pigeons and collared Doves will eat them

Had to get the bin men back , they missed emptying my recycle bins yesterday so I reported it and they've just been back and emptied them today..
 
Drove down to Morrisons today and came away having spent loads more than planned. No real shortages, but most prices are creeping up.
Petrol, however, was down a bit to 142.7p / ltr.
Next to Lidl where they were supposed to have French beer and cider, but didn't. Did a slight detour home via. another Lidl, but they didn't have any either. They did, however, have Greenall's gin a lot cheaper than Tesco, so I bought a bottle. I prefer it to Gordon's gin.

Weather is dry, but cold. I'm cooking lamb chops with roasted vegetables and couscous for dinner.
