Laundry and Groceries

It's the last day of the month and payday is three days away. I've been doing good this month buying groceries as I need them. Today, I used my foodshare card that I keep until the last grocery day of the month before payday. I must not have used it last month as there was more on it than expected. I only needed a couple of items, but I spent the time also getting my walking in and being very happy that I could walk the store instead of using the mobile cart. I felt proud of myself. I'm making progress. So, it was stairs and walking today. So my groceries are put away and yes, eaten. I bought a packet of tuna and with a tomato and onion, made tuna salad. It was very good. Now, I'm going to see what I can get accomplished here in the next couple of hours as I also want to work on Thread of Evidence. How is your Saturday going? Thanks for reading. Picture mine.

I have piddled here and there today. I did manage to get two loads of laundry done. I think I did too much in the yard yesterday as I am tired, stiff and hurting today. I'm glad you got your groceries and got some walking in.

@just4him I think the weather change even though it is slight is taking a toll on my body with the Fibro. I am hearing about others with Fibro having a hard time right now.

@crazyhorseladycx Two foot is two-foot too long for me. I'm glad you didn't get struck by it. I should watch for sales, but if I need it, I don't worry about whether it's on sale. I have started going to Aldi more and their prices are very good.

Thank you. I started buying by the week, but that didn't work last month because Housing messed me up for most of the month, so it was buying basic necessities for most of the month to get by. I'm glad I don't need to worry about that this month and can get the budget together so I know how much I have for groceries for the month. I'll take that amount and divide by four. I know it will be less because the rent is more. Thank you. I'm very happy with the progress I'm making. I'm glad you didn't need bail funds. I hope there wasn't a real rattlesnake, though I'm sure you have them around there.

That's sounds good. I take it the weather is warm enough to swim or did you just hang out?

@just4him Weren't your groceries heavy to carry? I like to walk to places and walk home if I can but if I have heavy things I cannot do that. The tuna with tomato and onion made tuna salad sounds good. My Saturday was spent off of the computer and out on our porch. I came back on the computer today on Sunday morning.

I have a car, so I don't carry them. I also had my shopping cart with me to take them into the house. I didn't have a lot, a box of eggs, a can of cooking spray, a jar of applesauce, and two packets of tuna.

@Hannihar I'm sure it's not fun getting the cart up the steps. I live on the first floor, so I don't have steps to deal with.

@just4him I am glad you do not have a problem getting them inside the house. We have no elevator and when i have to get sand for Sophie it is not much fun taking the cart up the steps.

What is a foodshare card? Never heard of that. You are doing good with your walking.

@jstory07 Thank you. Yes, it's nice, but it amounts to $15 per month for food. I rely on my SS for 99% of my food bill. That's why I wait until the last bit of groceries for the month.

Foodshare is the same as Food Stamps. It's on a card now like a debit card.

@just4him 32 chapters to write or 32 chapters to edit? I am assuming it's the latter.

Good to know that you made a good progress with your walking and stairs. My Saturday is over. In fact it's past midnight and we are officially into Sunday. The day went relaxed spending time with husband and kids and some good family meal together after a long. Husband was out traveling last whole week and was back late on Friday night.
