When I left this morning / myLot

It was already 78 F when I left, and it is rapidly getting hotter. I spent quite a bit at the store, trying to plan for my daughter and grands to visit next week. Then, of course, I also got fuel. We are down below $4.00 per gallon. I also have discounts from my grocery shopping card. Every penny helps. One thing I got is ground turkey. I like to mix it with ground beef in many things. I got "manager's special" $1.99 per pound. Hubby has been wanting lasagna. I might have to cook it in the middle of the night, it is so hot. So now I am at home, in my air conditioned office, trying to make myself get busy on other things. Most of the food went into the chest freezer.

Hmm, sounds like me, except I am not smart and I bake during the day.

I love getting grocery points toward fuel and I use the receipts for another site to get rewards, a double yay!!!

I think I should make spaghetti, it has bee4n a long time and we can use up some of the manager special bread we have. I also made a delicious dessert a couple days ago with a pretzel crust, cream cheese and sugar filling, topped with gelatin and strawberries.. Yeah, not what we need since it is just the 2 of us, but it is so good and a cool dish.

I have had that strawberry pretzel dessert at a very nice company wide dinner. One reason I have been saying I should bake at night is that my sleep has been disrupted. So if I am awake, maybe I should cook then.

@GardenGerty I am trying to stay a little on my schedule, though I end up waking up sometime during the night and not able to sleep again for a couple hours.

It is too hot here, I do not use the oven until the temperature remains so hot.

That is why we are eating a lot of salads and cold plates.

Petrol prices are a worry no matter where you live it seems!

Yes, they are. It is really driving up the cost of living for us.

@GardenGerty fortunately I can walk to many essential places, but the car is still far too important to me if I want to keep up doing some of the things I like. I'm slowly changing my habits though to ensure my petrol bill is reduced.

I didn't turn the A/C off last night. It only got down to 78F outside and is heading for 104F again this afternoon. Gas prices here are $3.97/gal for regular now. (I am waiting to refill my tank until medium price gas is below $4, too.)
