Another day and another dollar!

That used to mean working for a salary, but now it means spending the retirement money on necessities, in this particular case it was groceries this morning.
Ah, older age since we are not really old yet, but sort of like tweens are teens in training to become teenagers; we are oldies in training too to become old-agers, and if we are lucky we will become very, very old agers! (Only, if...)

I know, I know what’s the hurry you are saying you aren’t even sixty yet, still a youngin in some societies; you haven’t even qualified for social security or Medicare yet, so calm down missy! Well, you are absolutely right.
But Hubby has all that and I am just waiting in the wings!

Remember when you were a kid of 10 or 11 or even 12, and you said someday I will be a teenager just wait then it will be great since I can do whatever I want…well you have surpassed that and are you happy yet? You betcha, most of the time, but sometimes… you know the drill… there are days that aren’t so slap the thigh robust and lively, but this is what being a grown up is, right? What’s perfect, who’s perfect, nothing and nobody!

Oh you think I had a BAD day, nah, just thinking overtime like I do so often.
Actually, the day was pretty much uneventful. Accept for asking the fishmonger at the grocery to wrap up those two fillets of Mahi Mahi because they were on sale I thought for $5.99 a pound and the two had to be less than that, but guess what they weren’t $5.99 a pound they were $5.99 a portion, yep $11.98 for the two. I didn’t read it correctly until all was wrapped and done…embarrassing…you want to know what I did…well Hubby suggested giving it back, but I thought since they were already wrapped and all that we should take them, and we did, but not without regrets of stupidity on my part! All I could do is think if we ate this particular dish out it would have been considerably more, right? And so that is how I rationalized the over expenditure; thinking, next time I better read more carefully; lesson learned!
It's not the first time that I have not been careful in reading the containers in stores, there was the time I thought I chose spinach and it was collard greens…again, just today I thought I took a jar of red cabbage to only realize when we got home that it was pickled beets! I had taken a can of those also. But that was not quite so big a deal since it was much less expensive a mistake and we both do love beets! Oh well…
If this is the worse I do at this time in my life…I will be a very happy oldie!

On that note of good cheer I will bid you all a very good night, and wish you good eyes to see it all in your future years!
