I received my pay that was withheld from when we had a mandatory pay reduction over the summer and then on top of that we get our regular paychecks. What to do with all of that money? I did manage to save some of it. I paid off Marv’s funeral and Insty’s vet visit. I’m waiting for my auto insurance to generate a bill and I will pay that off. Then I went shopping on Amazon. Insty got some steps so that it will be easier to get into bed or onto the couch, depending upon where I place them. I figured this would be a good investment since she has her arthritis and provided, she uses them, it will help her.
I got a pizza set (stone, shovel & cutter) that was on sale, some muffins, white chocolate Snickers, a pet Dust Buster, a life size Charlie Puth cut out that comes with a free mini cut out of him, some paper towels (there is a shipping charge now on Amazon and they are on a serious back order). It’s not much but it’s amusing to me. Funny how you start tossing things into the cart and when you go to check out you get a dose of reality. At least I didn’t buy another pen, but we all know that I will be giving in to do that eventually.
My new Roku Ultra showed up today and setup was super simple. The hardest part was entering my Netflix password because it’s so long. The other sites sent an email to me, click on a link it opens a webpage and you login and then enter in a unique identifier that is on your screen. Having a wired connection appears to be working much better. I’m watching a podcast that I usually enjoy on a Sunday afternoon, it’s technology oriented. I also received a few other items the other large one being my Ancestry purchase. I am eager to get that in the mail to get the results.
Outside of the time I spent in front of the computer this morning the rest of the day has been spent by watching more Glee and sleeping. I finally got a shower this afternoon and hit up the pet food store. I also made it by the post office and had to drop off a package at a UPS drop box. Amazon goofed up in sending me my sweatpants. I ordered XX Large. The package said it was XX Large but the product inside was XXX Large. Needless to say, they didn’t fit (thank God) and rather than try to grow into them I opted to send them back. I ordered replacements and changed brands; they actually got more money out of me.
I am being super lazy and really lack in the motivation area but I must say a shower did help things. Insty of course protested, I don’t know why it upsets her so much. While I was out, I noticed that the fast-food places didn’t have many cars in line. I wanted to stop but talked myself out of it. Sure, I have turkey and ham here but I am so sick of it. I need to go to the grocery store tomorrow. Very hungry for Steak N Shake. I got their app for my phone and started to place an order. However, you have to pay for it in advance via the app and then you can go pick it up. Money is not the issue, it’s the thought of keying in a debit/credit card into a 3rd party app. It just doesn’t sit well with me, while it’s probably secure I’d rather not take my chances, especially since I don’t typically charge food and use my debit card.
I’m going to scrounge around and figure out what I can eat for supper and of course the queen bee here will probably get more food. It’s very strange to shop for just one cat since for 16 years I have been buying for multiple cats. I walk out spending around $20 per week which is not bad, considering back in the day when I had 7 mouths to feed a weeks’ worth of food was $50. I don’t honestly know how I managed to afford it but no one here has ever gone hungry be it cat or human.
My hair is so long and out of control. I need to break out the clippers and start shaving but I just don’t want to do it. I will give in eventually because long hair will get to me. Well off to find some supper. Let us hope that I can stay motivated so that I make some progress in cleaning up this place and I don’t sleep and sit on my ass all week-long accomplishing nothing. It does feel good to veg out.
Take care and have a great week ahead. I will talk with you all again soon.
