Parts. Or... chemicals really. For cleaning a small engine. Plus... window shopping at the hardware stores. Loverly. So, yea, I was in. If nothing else, just to get out. Give me forty five, maybe an hour? Okies. It did push me to wash the dishes a first shot, take a shower, and finish chores. Done easily. I even had time to put the dishes back in for a second wash. Very good.
I always, first of the month, check my account. It seemed really low. We went on to do something else. But I had to go back to my bank and get a printout. Ah. A bill came a bit early. It wasn't as much out as I had first thought. All good. So I drew some cash. Paid a bill right then. Then on through the list. More rabbit waterers, for much less than last time... a few dollars less, per, adds up when bought in a bunch. I would have bought hay, but not driving the Cruz.
Then on to some other things. I love hardware stores! Tools! Pretty girls from time to time. More tools! A couple of them were hit, looking for the right price. Yea. Oh, and I looked at air compressor splitters. One was a two to one, for ~$25. The next store had a triple splitter for ~$11. They were both store name tools, so... Yea, I got it. And dw-40 actual lubrication. I have regular dw-40, but not the silicon lube. Now I do. Yea, it's... good stuff. Regular dw-40 really ISN'T a lube... just a water remover and very temporary lube. This other stuff is good to spray in after. I really like spray oils. They last longer too.
Then to the grocery store. Mostly veggies. Though I did order liver. Three pounds, but not in a block. I will be getting it in 8 ounce packages... just about right for my consumption every week, or other, twice to three times a week. It's all give or take. I think the whole lot for most of this month ran about $80. Well, probably another forty in fresh veggies, a couple times through the month. Lettuce, cabbage, carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, and probably more kale or sich through the month.
I have the house airing, as I sit. It is nearly to forty F out there! It was ten this morning, when I let the ducks out. The water was hard frozen, and inch... more like two... thick. By around ten, it was up to twenty. It is a strange day. Airing out the house might help with what ails me. Any day that reaches forty might see an hour of airing.
Somehow, bringing my tea in, it got lost! Ugh. I'll... look for it in a bit. As to other work today? I am hoping to get the dishes another shot, and set to a rinse... or even left dry to be rinsed tomorrow. I may check laundry, see if there is enough to go... for one load. But I think that is it. The only maybe would be trying to set a few things up for the rabbits. Getting the spare cages ready for occupation, resetting the hay feeders, and perhaps solidifying some of the feeders already in use. If... that is... if I can get to it.
I did get worn out. But it was a good day. I love doing, being able, being willing, and it all coming together. Well, and paying debts, and then some. A debt forgotten isn't always forgiven, even if by the debtor. I pay my way, when I see it possible and owed. I do my best, in any case. Later.
"I love hardware stores!"
ReplyDeleteHardware stores! I don't have a reputation as a big hardware person, but I can't resist places like Ace Hardware or Harbor Freight. Not for the lumber or anything like that, but for the gadgets one can find. I'm always coming across items it'd never occur to me to buy until I actually clap eyes on them. I'm a sucker for things like LED flashlights, tape measures . . . that sort of stuff.
(Once went through a chain link aisle. Don't really know what I'd do with a length of chain link, but couldn't stop contemplating.)
It's why I read yachting magazines when I get the chance. Not that I'll ever own a yacht, but I get fascinated by all the electronic gadgets one can pimp up a yacht with these days.
(I have to stay out of pet stores. I go into one and automatically want to adopt every critter in the place.)
I almost never walk out of a store without something. I made it out of Lowe's, but not Home Depot. Oh, and I stayed out of Ace's... because I had already spent my lot. I'm... trying to keep my spending down, to make sure bills can be paid and they have gone up. Ugh. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI keep dreaming of a 10" DeWalt table saw, and 12" DEWALT 12" double bevel sliding compound miter saw. Both... in a bikini! Yellow and black polkadot! :p I suppose a single to triple distribution point for my 40 gallon compressor will have to do. But, yes, I... get that. Addictions.
