YES, I will admit I've been missing. Not necessarily from the net but definitely from my intended daily blog.
Hoping to get back to it instead of whining, preaching and just wasting time on Facebook, eh?
Yesterday I spent some time at a grocery store. I'm beginning to think I've lived too long. Things are becoming way too different for my tastes.
Once upon a time you would purchase a package called a pound of bacon which contained 16 ounces, which is a pound! Yesterday I purchased a very similar package of bacon but with only 12 ounces in it and I wonder if they weigh it with all the plastic and cardboard carton too? hmmm
A dozen eggs is still 12, however, large eggs today are more like the ones we called medium or even small when I was growing up. We didn't have emu sized eggs but just a lot bigger than today.
Yesterday I was thrilled to find head lettuce for $.99! I compare the heads for weight and can usually find a good solid head.
BUT I was unable to buy celery because it was over $3 a stalk! ???
My sweet potatoes were $.89 a pound so I got 4 to cut up and put in my air fryer, makes the best fries... as does zuchinni but it was very large...
What makes me sad is that if I were to eat everything I am supposed to eat on my gastro diet or even the diabetes diet, I would not be able to spend a nickel on anything else, including my dogs.
So now I am trying to restore my finances, cutting back on all the essentials like a newspaper, good tv and internet and phone. giving up so much. I really didn't do that much before so It's hard to give stuff up like movies or going out to eat. If I don't buy it at the stadium, and mostly I spend between a buck and $3.50, I don't buy it. I could have filed bancruptcy but would rather pay my debts.
Okay, enough for now.. Tequila is whining and I know he wants his dinner.. and a cuddle.. blessings and hugs
