Absolutely Holly. My little 4 cylinder car will need $40 or more to fill. Way over our budget. Never in my life have I spent over $200 for groceries. But that’s what it cost us yesterday. Just the beginning I fear.

yes indeed.. and you can imagine that as our fuel is almost double your price.. it's taking my little 4 cylinder tank £70 to fill ... and as you say the steep rising cost of groceries is shocking... another reason to stock up as much as possible if you can before everything gets even worse..
 
I had to get the snow off our driveway and walks yesterday. It was more slush than snow, all be told probably 3 inches. It was 20 degrees F this morning, but no more snow. One reason we left Colorado was to get away from all the snow. Here in Missouri, I have had to 'shovel the walks' 5 times now...YECH! I have a snowblower, so I am not breaking my back, regardless, it is still not on my favorites list of things I have to do...
 

On my early walk at 6:30,it was 27 felt colder with slight wind,but refreshing,still not wearing boots,YIPPEE

Oh gosh, I had forgotten Buster Keaton, and some of the other old black-and-white comedies, some of which would still bring laughter at the sheer ridiculousness, and awe at the talent of those actors, who had nothing but their own gifts, to portray something to the audience, back then.

I have been thinking of you, 💌💌💌
as I am sure that others here, have been as well!

I wonder when your next series of appointments will begin.
We are hoping that things can go as easily and as well as possible, for you!💗

I also hope that you can hold onto your wonderful sense of humor, whenever possible, too. 😀
I myself, cannot do it every minute, but like you, I pick it back up, each time, as soon as I am able.

When something we use regularly is on sale I've been buying more than usual for that exact reason.

Prices on flour and baked goods are about to go up because Russia and Ukraine are important wheat exporters.

Our wheat farmers have mixed emotions, the cost of fuel and fertilizers is going up, but so is the price of wheat...!

Thanks for mentioning this. I had already been wondering, if the areas in the USA, and Canada, that used to grow so much wheat, are still doing it, or could possibly resume so. Your comment is helpful and informative.
 
Worked in the shop yesterday morning cutting and sanding door trim. Then headed up north to visit friends, one of which came up from Wyoming. Took Lil Bit along to see some new territory, and meet the 4 other dogs that were there. She had a great time playing outside in the snow with the other dogs. She was the bell of the ball, and made some life long friends. Should have gotten some pics, but we were already getting into the Tequila, Which is why I'm moving a little slow today. Cleaned up the shop this morning, and stained a batch of door trim that has to still get two coats of urethane, and get installed before I can move on to the facing trim. One pic below shows the two garage door opening, and two entry doors, that are being worked on. Lil Bit has of course been a great help with all the work here.

Did the weekly shopping today, then will be hovering in the house for the rest of the week...as we have "Hopefully" the last week of cold nasty weather here. We will be chilly this week, with some snow expected Friday, but then, the forecast says we may finally put Winter behind us, starting next week. I hope that's true.

Thank you Kaila for having me in your thoughts.🌹
I was just about to post a rant but will try and be the polite lady I usually am.

So March 1, I get to surgeon, he asks me to remove dressing which was done by in house nurse, from my thumb and removed couple more stitches he missed first time round.
He looks at me and says it needs radiation and does not explain why another cyst has formed.
He will have his person schedule appointment and they call me or write ????

Then I said what about the stitches in my arm...ten of them..'Oh yes let's get them out'
When I get home had another look at the arm and picked out couple of black bits of the stitches which he missed.

One week later I have no appointment.
Phoned his office ..messages only. Left message. No return call
Phoned the hospital and they said they had no referral in my name.
Phoned surgeon office again...
Oh yes they will fax referral to hospital....grrrrrrr
Family doctor has just backed off completely.

Now you can see why I needed rant....more waiting

anyway, yes life goes on sore thumb or not eh!
