Howdy, @thisismarilynb Nice to hear your evening was an OK one! I hope your grocery and Target run were/are also fun. Personally, I think meandering the aisles at Target is one of my favorite pastimes!

The grocery store is altogether different for me. I make my list, stick to it 100%, and get in and out as fast as I can -- especially with how much our food prices have gone up here! I have sworn off my biggest guilty pleasure, pretzels, as I watched their price get to a level I refuse to pay, especially since the bags have fewer in them.

I hope you have a sunny day today. We've got a couple days of rain here, but things are greening up nicely and my lilac is about to flower, which I love!

While life is certainly a roller coaster, I hope today is a good one for you!
Strength, Courage, & Peace

It is coming up today. I got up and got the paper. I seem to be fine. Yesterday afternoon I was able to change the bed and wash, dry and fold the sheets. A feat for me these days. I still have one more laundry load to do today. Sometimes these mundane things are the ones that keep you going. My grocery lists are also much smaller. No more chips and crackers. My husband loved them. The good thing for me is that I have lost almost 15 lbs. just by not eating them anymore. I still have one guilty pleasure left. I like a drink of soda pop at night while I am lying in bed either reading or watching TV. The price has gone up by I am still buying it. I justify it by saying I only drink one glass per day. My mental outlook has improved a tiny bit. Now I am wondering if that long drive back and forth on the freeway negated everything he was supposed to help me with. Hope you have good Sunday. I will trade you some sunshine for some water. We really need it here.
