First off, no news on my FIL, other than he’s officially admitted and in a room, instead of languishing in the ER.
Beyond that, I was up to doing the outside cat feeding today. Normally, my daughter gets to it before I do, but she forgot to turn her alarm back on. 😄
I counted 14 this morning. Now that Judgement is back, that seems to be the consistent number outside.
Most of the day was quiet and normal. I did get hit with a wave of sleepiness at around noon and ended up lying down for a couple of hours – and it IS sleepiness, not fatigue.
This afternoon, I decided a quick trip into town to pick up a few things was in order. I’d finished off almost all of a carton of 18 eggs to make egg salad for sandwiches and it went over so well, I wanted to get more eggs and bread.
It was also my first time driving since before my surgery, which was quite nice. My younger daughter wasn’t feeling very well, so I didn’t have to drag her out. Her sister came with me. I am really appreciating that my older daughter can do that now. For the longest time, she couldn’t, and I didn’t really understand why until she ended up in the ER. She never told me just how bad things were getting.
Of course, once in the store, we looked for any other things we might want. I didn’t get a picture of the cart because my daughter had her own shopping in with it. We ended up getting some treats, too.
Here is the receipt for today’s shopping.
From the top, there’s a family size bag of Nacho chips my husband requested, which also had bonus points. Quite a lot of what we got had bonus points.
There’s a smaller, house brand, jar of mayo made with olive oil. Normally, I’d get plain, but they were out of stock. The paper lunch bags are to put flower heads with their seeds in for the winter.
I got two cartons of 18 eggs, which was on sale, plus I got promotional points on one of them. House brand cheese was also on sale – I would have gotten a mozzarella, but they had none, so I got Old Cheddar in orange cheese and Extra Old Cheddar in white cheese.
We thought we were out of regular milk, so we got a 2L of 3% – only to find out when we got home, that the last one we got hadn’t even been opened yet. My daughters might make a panacotta, since we have extra now. Then there is a large bag of potato and cheese perogies.
Hagen Daaz ice cream was on sale. They come in such tiny little buckets, we got four different flavours for each of us. We got one for my husband, though we couldn’t find any lactose free versions, but he does have Lactase right now, so he should be okay. *fingerscrossed*
5lb bags of potatoes were on sale, so I got one bag of yellow potatoes, which was also part of a point promo on my card (not a general promo in the store).
Bags of 5 avocadoes were on a really good sale, so we got two bags.
I was specifically looking to see what meats were on sale, and we ended up getting stewing beef, pork tenderloin, a seasoned pork roast, and a couple of locally made garlic sausage rings my daughter wants to make soup with.
Then there is the bread. Two loaves of white bread, two of whole wheat and two of rye.
Then there were the extra promo points earned. The next time I go shopping, I could potentially get $100 off of my purchase, if I choose to use them. Something to hang on to until the end of the month, maybe – or to save and use for gas.
Speaking of gas…
After loading the truck up, we crossed the street to fill the tank, which was just above 3/4s. I don’t usually take a picture of my gas receipt, but today I did.
Along with the fill, I got energy drinks, because their prices are the best here. They had their usual promo for buying in groups of three, so I got a total of 9 cans for my daughters and I. The promo took off $17.31, then my CAA card discount took off another $2.43 The two together, brought that $41.31 into $21.60
My CAA card also gave me a discount on the gas. The price had gone down to $1.3999/L for regular, but my discount made it the equivalent of $1.369/L It’s only 73¢ off total, but every little bit helps.
So that’s what we got today.
My daughter, however, found herself feeling very light headed by the time we were leaving the grocery store, and she couldn’t figure out why. After talking about it for a bit, we thought she might have not eaten enough, yet, so while we were at the gas station, she had some of the beef jerky we keep a stock of in the console, along with some crackers we had in there, too. She felt better after that, so yeah… it turns out she neglected to eat anything since breakfast. She just didn’t feel hungry. Still didn’t, even when she started to feel light headed! A down side of some of the medications she’s on right now, I think.
We’re all guilty of that, though, with or without medications!
Speaking of which, my daughters are making supper right now, the house smells delicious and funny… I’m feeling a bit light headed, while trying to remember when I ate last?
Oh…
Breakfast.
It’s almost 7pm right now.
*sigh*
