Saturday was the first time I have been out and about since last August. Pretty much all Autumn and Winter I have not been able to do anything alone. Poor Hubby has driven me most places, except a few times I was feeling I could make a trek.
Today I literally did a big trip. I gassed up the station wagon, and picked up a few things at the Warehouse Club we belong to, I went to Walmart to get a few things, and then did a full grocery shopping at Market Basket in the crazy, madness of Saturday afternoon.
There were screaming babies, harried parents, the elderly in their electronic carts, and people restocking shelves as quickly as they are emptied.
About three o’clock I realized I had missed lunch and my blood sugar was low, so I grabbed a quick hamburger and diet root beer. That kept me going until dinner tonight.
Hubby worked really hard while I was gone. Our driveway was all snow and ice, and pretty bad. Hubby chopped up the ice, and pushed it all off the tarred driveway. It’s a tad tricky at the very top, but really, he did a great job on the 500 feet of our drive downhill to the house.
Arnie has been such a comfort to Jack. They pal around together, and Arnie is so loving. You know, Arnie wasn’t supposed to be ours. I had sold him to someone else and because of life changes, this person changed her mind. Well, after 12 weeks of Arnie being with us, we were sunk. Arnie was ours!
This morning at breakfast an economist was talking about buying meats, chicken, fish, etc. when they are on sale and freezing things. Today it was corned beef brisket. I had already gotten one for Monday, but since they are only $1.99 a pound I grabbed two more and tossed them in the freezer.
So the day is done, and I am really tired. I think I will go to bed and read and then go to sleep. Night everyone!
