On Sunday, we went to Walgreen's to get a prescription for each of us. His was not ready and mine was $175. Not paying that.
When I went with Tommy to Walgreen's, I just wore my jacket and my nightgown, short but to my knees. I wrapped my throw around my waist and went to the car. When we came home, I got out of the car, clutching my blanket and went up the ramp, as I turned to go toward the house, I felt a breeze behind me and clutched my behind since the gown was almost to my waist! I was so embarrassed! I got inside as quickly as I could. Next time, I will pull on a skirt.
Sunday night, I wanted scrambled eggs for dinner. I scrambled 8 eggs, ate 1/3 of the eggs, and put two-thirds into a bowl for Monday and Tuesday lunch.
During the freeze a couple of weeks ago with the terrific winds, damage occurred to our bags of Black Kow. It had been stacked on the edge of the porch behind huge flowerpots. I think half the fertilizer uncovered by the wind blew away. When it gets warmer, Tommy will dip it all into a five-gallon bucket. I told him to put some in tulips and other flowers.
I bought the bags of fertilizer and some potting soil about four years ago in anticipation of planting again in my raised gardens. Of course, I was unable to work that. We have dipping the bags of fertilizer to look forward to doing. I hate to sell my raised gardens because I hold out hope I can plant tomatoes again.
Today, I felt awful, so went for a nap. At 2pm with no nap and little rest, we went to Cullman to get my mail. I did go into Publix and bought one thing, not one I went in to get. I did snatch a 12-inch skillet, something I have said I was going to buy five years ago. The skillet will replace the 10-inch skillet that has started to peel. Really, I did not slow down the cart! Eggs at this Publix were over $7/doz. That price worries me.
Just now, Tommy told me that is not a place peeling. It is where the spatula is stuck to the surface from my melting it and ruining the spatula, melting it all over. It has two scratches elsewhere, so it goes in the trash anyway. I used cast iron to cook until my wrist cannot hold cast iron anymore. Pots and pans are stainless steel. This one skillet will be my only non-stick cookware.
As Birmingham came into view, It looked like there had been an awful fire. The city was covered in a haze. There was a controlled burn in Bankhead Forest. Tomorrow, it will be gone.
I cannot wait to eat my last third of my scrambled eggs tomorrow. They are so scrumptious.
Tomorrow and Wednesday I have doctor appointments. Fun!
Friday will be at least 80F! That makes me happy.
How much are eggs where you live?
Do you ever go out with your skirt up?
The last time I looked eggs were around $9, so I’ve stopped looking. I tossed all of my Moms pans as they were peeling and replaced them all.
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
DeleteI tossed a bunch of Tommy's when I came here. I have only had one other pan since I got the first ones I got after I married. He rebelled about tossing his. Then, he listened to reason and said they could go.
I am in Canada they are $3.99
ReplyDeleteRuth,
DeleteI will drop by and get a couple of dozen...lol. That is a good price compared to our prices. I want to sincerely apologize Trump.
The lowest-priced eggs are about 4.99 here. But there are always specials. I can usually get 2 doz for $9.00. DH goes through eggs like crazy. He just doesn't care about the prices, he wants them and that's that.
ReplyDeleteYou should get yourself some basic mid-calf length housedresses that you can just pull on and call it good. I'm sure you looked fine in your nightgown, but having it hike up your backside was a wee bit of a problem, LOL.
It was 61 degrees here today. I went for a walk. It was nice; nothing strenuous. The spring air smelled so good. And the sun felt like a benediction...
Sue,
DeleteDaddy was that way. I am not so bad about wanting eggs. However, the Special K comes to about the same price. Eggs are better for me than cereal. But, I want my eggs. I bought eggs for $6.39 today. I still have some to freeze.
I do have one dress. But, that's it. I had already determined I needed house dresses and have done nothing about it.
I need 'nap dresses.'
It was above 70 today. I did not take a walk, but the cart drive from car to Publix was exceedingly pleasant. I am glad you had a good walk.
Eggs are expensive here. The cheapest were $6/dozen. Ever since keeping chickens, though, I buy the local, humanely raised ones, which are at just under $10/dozen. Eggs are expensive, and who knows what’s going on with bird flu now that Velveeta Voldemort has shut down CDC reporting. BUT, I found myself in the cereal aisle today, looking for rolled oats, so I could make granola for a kid who requested it, and what really struck me was the cost of boxed cereal! I never really bought it when the kids were younger, as it’s horrible stuff, plus, as a diabetic, it’s poison for DH. But my word, it’s exorbitant! For grins I thought I would look at packaged granola while I was in that aisle, and the cheapest was$7.99 for 11.5 ounces and a list of ingredients including soy. My rolled oats were $3.49 for 42 ounces, which will make a lot of granola. T was particularly telling when DH, as he was helping us unpack groceries, asked me where the granola was. I stood there , shocked, with the canister of oats in my hand for a second, until the kid who requested the granola said “Dad, what exactly do you think granola is?” I guess that explains why products in that aisle are so expensive!
ReplyDeleteMeg,
DeleteThose boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios are $8 a box, and I think are bad for Tommy's diabetes. I don't eat three eggs every day, but if I want them I will have them.
I had chickens and will buy home-grown eggs when I can.
My 42-oz cannister of rolled oats is almost $8. I do buy it but eat little because I have to stand and wait for it to come out of the microwave since my back hurts so. Then, I cannot have all the sugar I want. So, don't eat it.
What did you do about the prescription? Get an alternative or go without?
ReplyDeleteI haven't bought eggs so I don't know how much they cost around these parts.
I never go out with my skirt up.
Urspo,
DeleteNo, have not gotten something else. I will. I will talk to druggist. There is probably an otc that will work.
Steel yourself when you go to egg section.
Good for you. I should stop it.
I like eggs and most likely will continue to purchase them when I find a deal
ReplyDeleteLately I have been having a cup of full fat yogurt with "STUFF" in it.
My favorite is a coconut or vanilla cup with a LOT of Chia seeds sprinkled across the top. Next a couple of pinches of sliced almonds, then a few (2 or 3) pieces of dried apricots cut into small pieces. I also use a shallow handful of a salad topping that contains cranberries, walnuts, pepitas, dates, figs walnuts. cherries and pumpkin seeds Of course these ingredients are up to the person.
I like yogurt with stuff in it, too. But, I put different stuff in mine. I love pepitas.
