Yeah?

Wow.

Made it out.  Got to dinner.  He was going to pay, I got to it first!  Ha!  I like friends like that, win or lose, you can't lose.

I got caught up with the dread and woes of his life.  Which... he wouldn't have any other way.  We have some similarities.  Sinners?  Aye.  But we... have both come to worship God above all else.  He can get to church more, but I like to think I can teach about letting go of hate.  He does the rosary daily?  I pray and and for everyone, enemy to friend.  And, finally, have a very solid relationship with Mary.  She isn't coredemptress, godess, Godess, just a woman.  But the finest among them.  Born aside, outside, of sin.  But she still had choice.  Anyway, friends, brothers, in Christ, if still in sin too.  That... is... why Christ, though, right?  Amen.

Dinner was good.  Then he offered a trip to Costco.  I... want to, will, join.  But not now.  I wanted to do some shopping, but... couldn't?  Right, I couldn't.  Wouldn't?  Wouldn't.  My paycheck is in, so I have the money.  I had the money already, actually, and beside.  But, I don't want to sign up for things at the end of the month.  That means resigning up comes at the end of the month, not a good time for me.  I, some months, especially January usually, am out of money more often than not.  So... I want to sight up later into January.  Say... the 5th?

Why later?  Because those c-suckers like to try to charge the month before it is do, at the end of the month, if do signups to near the first of the month.  Even the third, they try to take it out early.  NO!  So, the fifth to the eighth keeps them from doing that.  Usually.  Assholes!  NO!

But, I wanted to try some of their stuff.  I bought chuck, because what I am getting at the regular stores is... questionable.  They are calling a lot of things chuck, and a lot of those things are nothing like any chuck I have ever seen.  They put a picture of real chuck, then when I get to the store, it's lean, odd.  I have no idea what it is, but it isn't chuck.  These were chucks.

As well, I tried "grass fed" beef patties.  Finished?  Didn't say, and was cheaper than standard beef patties?  Very... strange.  I took a package of each.  I have three of each in the fridge, in a package, and one of the two chuck roasts.  Bought a massive twofer.  Will see.  A $50 pack, but one half, with a few burgers and maybe a steak, will last me a weak.  I can do that.

Their ribeye was up to nosebleed level, and up a dollar from the last time I had a chance to look, so I skipped it.  And prime rib was back up.  So... yeah, no.  I did find a lamb chop roast, so got that.  Expensive, but small?  Right.  It'll be somehting new.  I've had lamb, but not a lamb stnding roast.  Yeah.

Oh, and I picked up water.  Still higher, than it used to be.  But half what it has become on amazon.  They don't want to sell it.  While that is convenient, it isn't over double the price convenient.  I got two perrier, which I will compare to my non-brand.  But it's still cheaper.  I just... have to cut.  Dollars here, there, and whatnot.  Plus, getting out shopping... is better.  If I can.

But... I was hungry, again, before coming home.  So I stopped in for a burrito, at another place.  I asked for their hottest sauce, and... couldn't really taste it.  Habenaro, they said.  I'm... thinking not.  I used habanero flecks, at home, when I want mild though.  So... maybe.  Carolina reaper isn't too hot, it's usually my... spicy.  It's as spicy as it gets.

Well... I did do some more business.  Ordered my amazon order, for the month.  Paid that bill, again, again.  Was hoping the utility bill would be in.  I paid extra last month, and... wait... I think I paid part this month.  If I get another bill, and that didn't settle it, I'll try to get that settled this month?  If I can.  H.D. was paid of last month, just have to make sure there isn't a bit to top off.

Mostly paying up this month, and holding back.  Spending is light, and mostly a few needed items, and a few trial items.  Warmer things, for winter.  My compression socks are too cool for winter, trying somehting thicker, but similar.  Ugh.

Anyway.  It was wonderful to get out, see a friend, have some food, get ready for getting back to carnivore.  It was nice, 40 out there?  Warmer?  My friend just hit 60, and was in shorts.  If a warmer kit sum total, though too.  Slightly.  I need to figure out cooking, some food, get it cooked and set and ready for through the week, maybe freeze some?  And, I need to get laundry going.  But... I've been burning that candle so very brightly, at both ends.  Dead old guys shouldn't push like this.  Jesus nailed how to find life.  It... hurts.  But, we were made in His image, innit?  Either yes or no, be careful.

Hungry again?  Yes, and no!  Having a perrier.  Those are in plastic, which does worry me.  I found similar, in glass.  I got some of that too.  Want to compare.  Yeah.  But I really wouldn't mind something.  I just can't cook.  Or eat.  I am so full, from two nice meals.  I was just so very hungry!

Ah, and I got a package back to UPS.  Nice.  Very nice.  Have a good night.  Not sure I can make it back.  Later, or much later, it seems.

Oh, yes.  I... think father wants me home.  

But... God told him the same thing He told me.  And... meant it.  Odd how truly powerful, and patient Father is.  Life?  Death?

Time?  Duty.  He... really did earn my love, trust, anything He wants.

Even if that cross is a hummer of a burden.  Amen.
