Yep, that’s just about what you could say we did today.
We stocked up on stuff that will last probably until the fall or at least till we run out, this summer maybe?
We went over to the warehouse club store and got those non-perishable items that last for a decade or so without causing foul odors or bacterial stomach disorders or anything negative and are very necessary the list included: toilet paper, facial tissue and paper towels plus an assortment of other items that are cost effective and could be stored. The social security check came this morning and once I paid the last of the bills in the bill drawer… off we went!
Even on our roomy compound grounds displacement and appropriately locating these items to their designated waiting areas is not as easy as one might think. Once the bathrooms depositories were filled as well as under the sink in the kitchen and the linen closet floor and top shelf, the garage closet and shelves were specified and utilized for the remainder.
Other items, that were of the perishable variety were divided accordingly put into marked freezer bags and frozen, since most were of the aquatic food species, although one clucker was also included in the catch, assorted cheese foods, forty pounds of chlorine for the swimming pool (best deal), and a couple containers of coffee, a beautiful fresh pineapple and lastly three pounds of tomatoes for $5.98, about the same as the grocery, but we do go through a lot and hopefully that will be the last purchase since our tomatoes are almost ready, not! But they are getting there.
The pineapple I must admit was a slight splurge, only in the context of not absolutely necessary since it is something we haven’t bought in years, but at $1.98 it really wasn’t too dear at all, and my plans are to try and grow the top and make some more! It’s supposed to be easy, we shall see.
Prior to leaving we did manage to get some spring cleaning done, our comforter, dust ruffle etc were all washed, even the pillows that hold our decorative pillow shams. Didn’t realize they could be but once stripped of the two cases encompassing each one their tags said they were machine washable and dryable, how about that? And so we did.
The house is getting a little more spring like looking.
And in the dinette, the seat cushion pillows were switched yesterday from the darker print Wedgwood blue ones with the matching tablecloth on that table to the paler blue and white striped pillows with the matching placemats, and a bowl of fruit was placed on the table too. All things I had but make a lighter springier look to the room.
Our home is never dark anyway, as much as I kid about having a family compound in reality our home is quite small square footage wise, so light and bright is the best way to decorate or otherwise dark, so-called warmer darker colors would create gloom and doom in my opinion in our home and who wants that? Bright and cheerful is how I see our place, and to be honest it makes it more joyful to stay home, especially since at times due to my ills I have no choice. But going out is a nice respite to my occasional boredom.
On that note I will bid you all a good night and to all count those blessings and we will too!
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
