Tired

"nuff said.  

Yesterday was my ATC group.  Only three of us showed up.  We chatted for good two hours.  One is a long time widow, the other was widowed in January of this year.  Both live alone. There was very intense conversation, a lot of supportive comments, and a lot of suggestions about coping with the health care system.  I'm not used to such intense socialization, and both of them were craving exactly that.

Today was "pension day", bill paying and shopping, along with most other pensioners in the area.  This time we had an extra errand.  David wanted a new pair of black jeans--his "go to" choice for any traveling outside the house.  It's been a long time, and the first stumbling block was sticker shock--on his part, not mine.  . All of the pants I own were more expensive than what we saw,  maybe only by pennies, but more expensive.  But, at the same time, what we saw today,  was better made than anything I own. Then he used the wrong size, but that got sorted out, quickly.  He ended up with two pair of pants and three long sleeved t-shirts.  Hallelujah! 

We had stocked up with a lot of food items in the fall, but most are pretty well gone, now, and this turned out to be a larger shopping than we had anticipated.  Going to be a tough month, especially with an overnight trip planned.  But, it we're broke, we stay home and I get more done in the studio.  One thing we bought was boneless chicken breasts, and this time they came complete with filet.  This means two extra meals for the same price, and we'll enjoy one of them tonight, as I'm too beat to cook much.  But, because we spent over a certain amount at Superstore, we got a "free" gift.  This is a regular thing there.  Lately the gifts haven't been worth having, but this was okay.  It was a big box containing three different boxes of cereal, plus a bag of a type of granola, a box of "fibre" bars, as well as a box of Rice Krispie treats, packaged in portions, and two full size tubes of Pringles Potato Chips.  We've kept the potato chips, and fibre bars,  tried the granola (yuck-almost pure sugar-garbage) and the rest is packaged ready to go to the food bank.

And now it's time to cook supper.  Haven't even been to the basement today, let alone my studio.  Maybe not going to happen.
