As a single senior with everyday I wake up Saturday, today my 74th birthday famously on the day before Halloween has been especially pleasant thank you. Late Saturday I finished a month plus extensive project on my website and then uploaded a bunch of new html and jpg files. So went to sleep knowing a long complex project was now complete. Given my computer background, a huge amount of manually maintained image information file data in fancy Excel format files without using a database or app. Lots of Command prompt unix ported commands in batch files.

Today after the pm 49ers game, much enjoyed in breezless 70F degree sun, a late afternoon neighborhood walk with fun conversations and interactions with others including kids in Halloween customs, stopping at Trader Joe's and buying a 99 cent dark chocolate peanut butter cup 8 cups, total. Ate that in agony walking the next half mile.😆

...these little 3.5 ounce bags of the peanut butter cups have been priced at 99 cents and featured in barrels by the registers in all the Trader Joe’s I’ve been in. It’s hard to resist the sub-buck price for something that’s such a good value. About half the price of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup per ounce...
Inside the simple packet are eight miniature sized dark chocolate peanut butter cups in foil. Each weighs about 12 grams (.42 ounces) and has 60 calories.

Now long since back at home 9:30pm after stuffing myself with a sequence of more enjoyable eats, as one that rarely allows myself for health limitations is tonight going to cut off some aged Gouda cheese and grab the bottle of high sweetness menage a trois Dolce wine I bought for $8earlier this weak at Walmart.

Happy Birthday, @David777 🎂

Newbie may start today. Or not. Cynical and jaded me doesn't believe it.

It's raining but supposed to stop early this afternoon. I hope so because there are lots of small people who are all excited about costumes and trick or treating tonight.

Since I have blue hair and have to wear Kroger blue shirt and apron to work, I'm going to be a Smurf today. Can't ride my broom to work because there's no enclosed cab...
 
Hubby & son have left to go turkey hunting.

Things didn't start well with hubby.
He dropped his coffee creamer on the kitchen floor.

Then before he left could not find his wallet in all it normal places.We were looking al over.
About ready to give it up as lost,,, when son moved something on hubby's desk..

The lost was found,, off the guys went.

Looks like a day of baking while they are gone.
A Dutch Crumb apple was requested by son.
From way the cookies I made for are disappearing,,looks like another batch needs made.

Son will take some with him for my granddaughter.

Planning on beef stew for when ever they come in.
 
It's 1.20pm 62 deg f... relatively sunny .. still warm enough for me to have all my windows open every day... The leaves on the big tree outside of my office room window is starting to thin out, I reckon another day or 2 of big winds will see it off for the rest of the year..

Will be a very busy area this evening with all the trick or treaters... now the clocks have gone back it sunset is at 4.30pm so they'll start soon after that

Just vacc'd throughout the house.. stairs and everywhere.. for a thorough clean.. I only do it every other week because it causes me back pain, the Miele is very heavy.. so in between times I use the smaller cordless hand held..

Since hubs has been gone.. and now our Energy prices have gone sky high, I only do laundry when the washing machine is full.. the drawback to that is that it means 2 loads in the dryer instead of One..


Happy belated Birthday.. @David777 ...pleased to hear you had a good day...🤩🥳

Effective immediately Kroger has a hiring freeze. At first I thought it was a joke...like April Fool's Day or something. Nope. Hiring freeze. For pity's sake! The newbie was officially on the payroll since last week. Now she isn't, even though she has completed all the on-line training and completed all the paperwork.

I want to cry. The biggest reason why I haven't quit is because I just can't do that to my "Sir" (supervisor). He has kidney disease, fatty liver disease, HBP, chronic pancreatitis, and heaven knows what all else. Yesterday was his Sunday off. He spent it in the ER.

...and so will you be if you carry on like this... :rolleyes:...I feel for your supervisor but this is NOT your responsibility..
 
As little as possible. Monday is my "day off." I get tired of cleaning and doing other things for no one.

Maybe I'll look for more trivia questions for the game I host.

Maybe I'll look for an expats/travel forum, or other info on how to travel to (or live in) sunny climes. **Cheaply.** I'm grateful for my current living situation, but I'm so bored and lonely I might as well be dead already.
