We planned to go to the gym this morning but didn't make it. I had all my usual night issues and didn't get enough sleep. I thought dh went on his own but when I finally got up he was still here. After breakfast he laid down in his recliner and fell asleep too! So he's now working in the yard and I just had breakfast.
I have bought tickets for a Ladies Night Out at a cabinetry company. They are supposed to have lots of vendors and my dd is one of them. They serve food, snacks, wine and beer and have things to look at, sample and buy. The first 50 get swag bags so I plan to be there early.
Also thought if I get there early I might be able to help my dd in some way. I have asked a family member to go join me but not sure yet if she is so I may just be wandering around on my own. Oh well, I've already bought my ticket and the money goes for a good cause...I'll enjoy what I want and come home if I get bored. I rarely go out on my own so something different. It will be next month.
I have bought more clothes in the last couple months than I've bought in years! And I'm still tempted to buy more, holding off so far though. I do still have one skirt coming though. That makes me three new skirts, I think about 10 new tops and 11 leggings. The leggings just roll up in a drawer but the tops and skirts are filling my closet along with what I already had. I hope I get good use out of all of them. I may give away some of my old clothes but want to do it a little at a time. Usually even on the long chance I do lose a lot of weigh (HA!), I can still wear the same size esp on top, they just fit better. Last time I lost significant weight I lost 20# before anyone even noticed and before I changed clothing size. So not too worried about that. My arms and legs usually get slimmer first...and esp my legs. My upper arms are large and I wonder where all that loose skin is going to go to if I lose.
I said yesterday that the little essential oil drink seemed to help me not eat so much. Well, I still don't know if it was that or not but I did drop down 1# overnight. But then I go up and down though I seem to stay longer at the top number these days. Still trying to get down to my sig again..2# to go. So tired of this. Tempted to drop one of those little green pills but I know I need them for my bs. I will try the drink again today.
I've seen similar bags of frozen fish like you describe, Carol Sue, in Costco. I have a Walmart near me now but have not shopped a lot there. We use it mainly for a quick run to the store for something we need or if we need a non-food item. So glad to have it though I know many people hate Walmart here. I do my weekly shopping at New Seasons Market...and love the organic produce and meat there. The organic dairy is usually cheaper there too. If I'm not buying meat, I'll often just go to Winco...it's across from our gym so is handy and not so far from home as New Seasons. Then in the opposite direction is our new Walmart, so it's our "need fast" shopping place.
Sometimes dh will already be shopping there or on his way home and I can call him to pick up something. So convenient. And then about once a month (sometimes twice) we shop at Costco to get the things that there are coupons for.
I can seldom find that good filtered milk I was buying...disappointed about that, but hopefully it will come back.
Our weather is cloudy and cooler last couple days, but not cold. Looks like the sun might be trying to come out this morning. I kinda like it like this...I like sunny days too but this is more like our natural NW weather and I don't care for really hot days.
Going to do a quick mop of my main bath floor and clean the mirror and shower door. Then moving on to the kitchen and see what I can get done there today. Yesterday I noticed how dirty my laundry area is...it's in the garage, not shut in, so impossible to keep clean. So I hope to get out there and organize and clean. Recently I ordered a free (paid shipping) pack of laundry soap and fabric softener. They are natural products. I like them so continued this month. They are much smaller bottles than I am used to, but I only use a small amount so they last a long time. I haven't even started the second pack. It comes in concentrated packs and you mix it with water in the original bottles they send you. I'll try it for a while longer at least, so far it seems to work well. You can change the subscription as you like. I don't do laundry as often now that I have larger hampers. I only do the laundry when at least one section of the hamper is full or one of us needs clothes.
Each big bag of the hamper seems to be two loads (like delicate load and regular load in each) so far. But really my washer tub is much larger than I ever need to use, it's huge compared to my old washer.
Karrine - Glad you found the problem before a fire occurred. Continuing to pray for both Nan and you. You are a great help to her and need healthing and strength to do it.
Ok, off to start my day...very late...but that's ok....I'm retired!
