So, it was an interesting day. I had $340 in one dollar bills, bills to pay, and I needed a grocery run.
I checked the bank online. Yesterday they said the branch was closed, but open today they said. So I went. I did my little transaction and walked away with $340 in $20 bills. I went to my bank, and deposited $270 to cover the bills and a small cushion against overdrafts.
Then I went to Walmart. They don't have the XL Assurance bed pads anymore, just the medium. The package is smaller, the pad is smaller, but 1/3 the previous price so I guess a good deal. I will have to try them on Ron. There was a sick woman on the lotion aisle and I have 2 different bottles of lotion at home so I exited quick...almost forgot the pads and got them in the #3 size which I have been using.
I ride in other people's cars. If my cycle is "about" due I am going to wear a pad just in case. Which works as long as the pads are available, and they have been. A good example this cycle was a week late, and I am riding around with Jack in his wife's car. I am - that is NOT happening. So I wear the pad.
I suppose if I were really cheap I could wear one of the reusable pads. I will consider that if I have supply chain issues.
So I got that then I went to the craft section. I have a lot of devotionals, etc. but not a lot of bookmarks. So I bought some cute ribbon for $1 a spool and I can cut that and use as markers. $2 later I have 2 nice rolls I will play with later.
Paper goods - not much but they did have paper plates, the basic kind, in stock, I was happy about that. I got my Land O Frost sliced turkey, I am crazy about that stuff. I got Ron a roast chicken, he will be happy about that. I had enough to buy some cornbread so I did that I really love cornbread.
And I can't find the cornbread. Must be in the truck or left behind at the register. God's way of telling me I don't need any more carbs. I will ask Jack on Thursday but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Edit: I did call him, he is driving but will look under the backseat.
I didn't buy any ice cream so proud about that.
At the check out I ran into a "hoarder" who was buying numerous canned chicken items, way more than he needed. He didn't even know if he liked it. First rule is buy food you like. One reason I only have Turkey Spam that's the one I like. Then he went off on a "tin foil hat" rant at the register really sounding like he needed an antipsychotic. And he paid with a card, so all that food is not trackable to him. Not smart.
I am on a few websites and they would say he did a lot wrong. Worst of all he was bragging about all his supplies in front of strangers, at Walmart no less. You just made yourself a target and odds are there is only 1 of you so good luck defending it.
I went outside, called Jack, he came pretty quick. Ron was awake when I got home so I said hi and washed my hands, then put everything away.
Last night I finally got Ron out of bed long enough to change it. He is saying he wants to do more for himself and I have been praying on that a while. I was happy to hear it. I took the washable pad off, and the fitted sheet. Both had some food stains so I am washing the pad right now, and will do the sheet later. Then I think a load of regular clothes.
That's it for now.
