What a day.

I think I wrote about this morning's work.  So, yea, that.  After that, a shower.  Then to town.

Grocery shopping.  At two of my stores.  One more tomorrow.  The garlic I bought last time just didn't have much flavor.  So I am trying organic, from the local health food store.  It didn't smell all that strong.  Didn't have an odor at all.  Meats, butter, this, and that.  Veggies too.  At the wholer food store, I bought nuts, garlic, and some spices.  Gotta watch it in there.  One bag will be $2.50, or $4.25 or such.  Not bad for a decent little pouch of spices.  But then another one will be $15, or even $30?  Crazy.  No.

I also stopped at a shop for shoe laces.  I had hoped for 54" and maybe 56" or 58".  But, no.  It went from 54" to 60".  Could cut them down, as the shoe floor worker suggested, but you loose the end.  And the boots I want them for need that end.  They have hard tubes, that make putting a longer lace through nearly impossible.  Hmm... I may try those 60" laces, next time I am in town.

I got home.  Realized I forgot coffee.  Since I was going out for mass, I hit the coffee shop.  I... may have to find alternatives.  They are now selling them for $17, and only for 12 ounces.  No, that's far too expensive.  I'll buy them for now, but be looking for good coffee at better prices.  That is just way too much.

And I made it to mass.  I am exhausted, wiped, tired, and to the point of pain, in the heart.  Still, a good day.  I'll get on to bed before too long.  I may roast some of those nuts, raw nuts, before bedtime.  Gotta just keep it to some at a time though.  I bought pecans (less expensive than amazon) for equivalent quality.  Walnuts as well.  I'll only back about a half pound at a time.  Or I'll eat them far too fast, far too often.  Oh, but I truly love simple, unsalted, roasted raw nuts.  Ugh.

I saw a roast on sale, a very good sale.  Not sure I will like it.  Will look to see if there are any special instructions for this roast, then hit it tomorrow, or Monday.  Hoping it is good.  If it is, I may get several of them the next time I am in.  And I need cherry tomatoes and lemons from my other store.  On a decent sale.

I have trash out, ready to go.  Just two bags of recycling, but it isn't recycling week.  That was last week.  No worries, plenty of room left for that.

It got up to 48 today!  Crazy.  The forecasts were all so very, very, bad... the ones I watched.  Nothing matched up.  No where near as much snow as suggested.  And far warmer than suggested.  I watched two different stations' forecasts, for generally the region.  Horrible.  Even a cave man could have done better.

Ugh.  Tired.  But I do want to roast some of those nuts, pecans I believe, tonight.  But that only takes the time to warm up the oven to 350, then to toast them about twelve minutes.  I can leave them out to cool.  No worries there.  A good day.  But I need to sleep, and take it easy for a few days.

It looks like, if health holds, I can make it to both the KoC meeting, and the other meeting.  I have found the paperwork, to put in for potential membership in the other group.  We'll see if it is enough or not.  Meh.  I'll watch vids, while the oven heats and nuts roast.
