My aunt came, I had fun with her. I have got to figure out a way to get to Foodtown; we ran by there and they had an incredible deal on produce markdowns. Even if I only eat a little I will have still saved a lot of money. I got various fruit options so I can make fruit salads to take with me to work. I want to eat better and that will be an easy way to do it. I don't need to eat garbage snacks. And it can only do me good to eat whole, real, foods.
I don't know if I shared this but Ron's family is from out of state. A small town outside a bigger town..and that town is home to a football star with my last name. So, likely, we are related. I had talked to my Dad and aunt about buying myself a jersey "someday" and they got bought me one as a surprise. I like it very much, my name across the back, the colors are great, etc. It fits great. It was a little slow shipping apparently but I have it now and I like it. I am having trouble getting the photo to load on my Google Photos. But that is OK I can't put it on the blog it reveals my last name. I did send the guy a friend request on FB if he accepts it that will be fun. I do plan to follow his career, Dad taught me about football when I was a little girl, and we used to watch games together. And this guy is very good, Ron used to love listening to his games. It is fun. That was a bright spot today.
We went to the Walmart, went 3 places trying to pay my gas bill and all of them closed. I will have to try at work tomorrow. I am reluctant to do online payments but will if I have to.
I got the fruit I wanted, some really tasty looking grapefruits, some mandarin oranges, a bag of key limes, and some mangoes. I plan to peel the oranges, put the segments in a container, put a few mangoes, and squirt some lime juice over it all. But wait! When we went to Foodtown to get my lemon pies they had a markdown rack of older produce. It is still good but not as appealing. They had it done up on trays for $1. I found a nice tray with kiwi and lemons that looked good so I got that. So now I can add kiwi to my fruit salad. It is of course a little bruised so I will cut out the bad parts first.
As it turns out not a lot of bad parts. I made one bowl of fruit salad to take tomorrow, cut up kiwi, took the top and bottom parts off the mango, peeled and segmented a nice mandarin orange, halved a key lime to squirt juice on before eating. That is in my lunchbag, in the fridge. I also got some portioned out cottage cheese, about 1 cup size with a peel back top. I put one in there as well. Fruit and cheese, will be great on a break. I need to stay away from those mini pecan pies. Work is very good about supplying disposable, wrapped, cutlery but I am bringing my own utensils just in case. I also have some salty snack mix in a 2 ounce bag, etc. No way I will eat all of it but I have OPTIONS. And most of what I have is very healthy.
I did keep forgetting the celery sticks (the ones already cleaned) but I can pick those up another day. This is a really good start.
Oops I got guava not mango. They are good, though. Glad I got a pound. That's it for now.
