Yeah, and part of the problem is that the bag size is really made for a family; I have to eat them pretty much everyday (which I don't mind) to get through the bag before they start to spoil.

we have the opposite here.. Most food comes in family size packages , but the Sugar snap peas come in tiny packs.. only enough for really 2 servings for one person.. and just ridiculous price.. about £1.75 for 150 grms.. about £12.50 per Kilo...
 
Lots on tap today...

Meds to pick up (yes, I got that $$$ med filled at WalMart), switched phone services so I have to get the original cancelled (which is always a test in patience =P), soup to make and scones to bake. There's 1/2 a butternut squash baking in the oven right now.

Today's cleaning project was the walls, baseboards and floor of the bathroom; incredible how dusty and water-splattered the walls get in there. Magic Sponges are the bomb.

It's pretty blustery here; it will be interesting to see what path Nicole takes and if we get two days of rain or it misses us completely.
 

Going to the swimming pool today. This means a change in daily routine.

I'll skip lunch and most of my other exercises. I have to make sure I have every single item I'll need: bathing cap, soap, lock for locker. Bathing suit and towel.

Check the temperature so I can make driving adjustments. Get library books together for library visit.

Complicated and scary!

Went to the doctor’s office to get some bloodwork done. I see doctors who are affiliated with one of the local hospitals. I like that patients can get lab work done at any facility within the hospital system if ordered by a doctor also within the system so I can go to a nearby clinic rather than going back to the specialist’s office which is further away. Need to pick up a few groceries later.

Enjoy... you'll sleep better tonight after all that exercise..
 
Sunny and blustery here and not very warm.

Newbie came in this morning (her day off) to help but HR snagged her and dragged her away to do yet more blankety-blank paperwork. That took almost four hours; when she finished, she left:( Sir has her scheduled for 40 hours next week! Yay. Yippee. Huzzah! Hooray! and other exclamations of delight. Maybe I'll get to work less sooner than I thought. Fingers crossed. Let us all face the East for a moment of silent prayer🙏.

But...the one who we've borrowed from the floral department came over to help, which was nice. She was still there when I left at noon, and I told her to "work slow" so that she can work until at least 3. Left her with plenty to do.

Since I've been home, had lunch and mowed the lawn. That's it for today.

Tomorrow isn't going to be very pleasant, depending on what Nicole does and where she goes in Florida. We're expecting cold, wind, rain. How much depends on where and if she hits in Floriduh.

Usually what I'd do this afternoon is get the laundry done, but with tomorrow's weather up in the air...pun intended...I guess I'll just wait and do it tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, DD and I are going to make an Aldi run and do our Walmarting. If the lord's willing and the creeks don't rise, as we used to say in Texas, we'll be able to get everything needed for Thankgiving dinner, even if it is still two weeks away.

Nap time:sleep:

Yesterday was another busy day!!! Even though we are still having beautiful summer/fall weather....that is about to change. Winter will arrive on Fri, then our overnight lows will start going to the mid 20's F (3°-4°C). Burrrrrrr!!! 😨. That makes for extra outside projects.

We got back from town fairly early yesterday.....with season 2 of Yellowstone!!!
emoticon
In the afternoon, we put away Andy's summer home and I got his winter house all set up. It's packed with hay.....nice and comfy & warm!

🐔 We also cleaned out the hen house and I packed that with straw. Even though The Girls will eventually pack it down a bit, they have each other to snug up with....so they will be warm, too.

We had time to go for a short walk, before it got too dark and we had to head in. I was out of the shower and in my jammies by 5:15!! LOL But the day wasn't over.....I had dishes to wash while Dio did laundry. We finally sat down to watch Yellowstone around 8 p.m. I was in bed by 9:30!!! I guess I'm not used to the time change, yet!
emoticon
So that was my day....busy, busy, busy!

🚚 Today has been more of the same. This morning I cleaned the interior of Dio's truck. It's easier to do the car, and I'm glad it's done!I

It's's been so long since I've been able to do ANYTHING.....it feels good to be getting stuff done!

Right now I have a big pot of celery, carrots, and onions cooking up...I'll freeze them for another day, once they are cool enough.

You crack me up, you are at the store working, you must get a employee discount and know in advance what sales are coming up. I shop Aldi and Walmart but Kroger has really good sales/loss leaders. I stock up on a lot of thngs there. Pasta .69lb, canned tomatos, .69 a can. Chicken and beef broth .69 a can. I got some beautiful asparagus for 99 cents a lb this week. do you ever take advantage of those things?
 
@Blessed There's a 10% employee discount, but I can't take advantage of it because I share my Kroger card with both DS and DD. DD could use it, but DS can't because a family member has to live in the same household as the employee. When there are specials on things we use, though, I buy them. Otherwise, Aldi and Walmart are cheaper, and it's DD who foots the bill.

Bummer with Nicole. Hurricane is going to swing itself right smack over us. It's going to be a nasty day tomorrow. The rain is going to hold off until late afternoon so DD and I will go out early enough to beat the rain. Supposed to rain all tomorrow night and all day Friday, too.
