@cath007 I haven’t sent the coupons yet. I haven’t been near any post offices or I mean shoppers drug mart to send them. And I am still judging how much pain I can be from day to day.

Today I got it in my head to do laundry I put all my laundry in my wagon and headed down there. all the washers were taken and dryers but no one to be found. I was little ticked off to say the least I felt like I wasn’t going to wait all day long for the bloody washers and dryers to be able to use. I sulked back upstairs with my mountain of laundry on the cart. No one I knew was around someone i wanted to hang with was unavailable being they were in Vancouver at a course.

I have a new bruise on my arm I’m not sure where I got it from.

Yesterday when I was out at the doctors I picked up groceries after the appointment. I picked up A&W rootbeer 12 pack cans, no name coffee whitener, no name regular chips, carrot cake Oreos, mini potatoes 3Lb bag, inside round steak, 2x sourdough loaves, carrot cake, spinach dip, & ziggy’s Mediterranean pasta salad. I obtained 600pts. And spent less then 40$ for it all.

I was little bummed when I heard that someone I was hanging with got that job possibly that they posted where I lived. At first I felt like a mountain fell on me then I thought well good for them. I know the law more then them and if they want to sign up for a job that is 2hours a day that’s there prerogative.

I finally sold something for $30 today and I sold more garden produce for another $5. A different lady is supposed to buy more produce this weekend. She is a repeat customer. I’m still recording everything and I’ll share the grand total at the end of the month.

morning,yesterday my girlfriends daughter came for a morning visit with her 2 little ones since i had ashlyn and cara (they played together so it was a playdate for the kiddies as they are all the same age .She bought my 2 granddaughter's a toy each and a begonia plant for me (such a lovley girl) i had popped over to sobeys Thursday night for fresh rolls ,potatoe salad and deli meat ,oh and Danish for dessert

We never went out with the kiddies way to hot.Then my son asked if we could put cara in her own crib so she would have a better sleep,but alas she didn't as she was teething

Then son asked us to stay for supper to celebrate my hubbies birthday we had fortinos wings ,fries and a ceasar salad

Today off to Toronto to see my daughter/son-in-law and Sebastian .He is finding it hard losing his dear mom so suddenly with him being only 36 and small Sebastian doesn't have a nonna anymore .I found a tank with a realistic picture of a dinosaur at carters the other day $4.40(25% off clearance ) for Sebastian and I will take him a kinder egg too ,I love spoiling my grandkids every now and then

Yesterday was a stellar example of why it paid to get juices and frozen concentrates on Thursday--I saved my own skin because the house was a sweaty place and I did spend time downstairs tinkering with some sewing. Until I could not fight off the nap urge. Not that it helped--brain would not go to sleep but body was willing.
Then prior to 9pm, I took a shower (refreshing) and walked to Walmart for a case of Pepsi and three bags of Lays (sugar & salt during a heat wave are vital to me!). Had a fine breeze going to store but coming back, I felt sweaty again due to bags of groceries.
I have 75 cents left in my coin purse after putting $10 away for next week, when I expect to go out for a few hours with a friend.
Breakfast today included celery sticks and marinara sauce, some lightly salted wavy Lays and 3 Pepsi colas. I have my frozen water with berries again and a second water bottle. Cooking is just not happening at home. If tomorrow is cooler, then I will pan fry the veggie burgers for brunch.
The sky after 6am was a sepia toned watery sky and then it brightened a bit then it got washed out again. I really thought a few downpours were going to come but I got walking after 9am to be early at the library for once this summer.

If you want a different sci-fi/origins type of DVD to watch, I really recommend Along with the Gods:The Two Worlds and its sequel Along with the Gods: The last 49 days. They are Korean and some of the sci-fi effects you've seen in blockbuster movies. But some of the dialogue/scenes are funny and some are hard to keep watching (glad I was watching on a tv screen rather than in the theatre) but the main stories are a mix of mythology, afterlife and present day Korean drama. The sequel carries a plotline from the first DVD plus offers the origin stories of the three guardians. Might be some scenes that feature some gore, so hold onto the popcorn.

Circle K in my part of town does not offer the griller dog free item, so I'll make sure to get the free pop today (could not find the coupon in my tote two days ago but bought newspapers to not waste the visit).

Early Friday morning, someone drove a pickup truck into a neighbour's tree. It was just a matter of time for an accident to happen by the sharp corner during the detour. The truck is a write-off.

Wow, it's July 20. Summer is making a strong impression for 2019. #Spwinter is meltwater in our memories...

Today is A&W free rootbeer day. I don’t want to walk to mall for free rootbeer when I bought cans of it.

It’s already 19C @ 10:33am and suppose to be 26C today.

Food items keeps filtering through my mind and I want to get up and do something last night I smashed my knee on someone’s coffee table metal leg in their hallway. Why on earth is it their hallway. If they don’t need the friggin thing then sell it. I paying for it with lots of pain. I didn’t sleep well last night I woke up at 4:30am after I went to sleep at 1:30am. And the sun was really bright at 6:30am. It’s now almost 11am. I want to go shopping in my mind but physically I feel like crap. I wish I could drive and had a car it would be more convenient then how I usually walk everywhere. I feel like body is punishing me after 34 years being together my mind wants to do lots of things. I feel trapped in a broken body that is falling apart over the last 8 years.
