A few days ago I had to go grocery shopping for two weeks worth of food, all by myself, for the second time ever.
And I didn't do too bad with my money!
I was just making it out of the store, with my groceries and Pixie who wasn't screaming or throwing a fit and I was feeling pretty good about things!
Until I realized that somewhere between the check out counter and the car, my milk had gone missing.
Did I leave it in the store?
Did I leave it in the cart?
I'll never know. But boy did I feel like a putz.
On the drive back home, I realized that I forgot two other things that I needed to pick up, all together.
So I felt like a double putz.
I am pretending that this happens to everyone until they get the hang of doing everything on their own.
I'd like to think that I'm doing about average compared to other ladies in my situation.
In other news, I was supposed to cut back on my sugar and carbs a while back. It was like two years ago, actually.
Well, the time has come when my health has finally betrayed me and the end-of-sweets-or-else, death march has finally come.
So I'm trying harder to actually follow the advice of professionals, and try things their way. Maybe I'll see if I can wake up with energy that doesn't come from a coffee cup?
That would be a medical miracle, indeed.
Working on final Harry Potter book, but I think I'm the only one who is still only on the second chapter. I work all of the time, and have no life. So this book is extra slow-going right now, for me.
