Good grief

I have been meaning to post, but I keep falling asleep early, yet not waking up equally as early.

On Saturday Jeremy went to Grocery Outlet. He spent about $21 and bought a dozen protein bars, a box of strawberry toaster pastries, cereal and milk bars,  two boxes of protein Cheerios, and three bags of chicken meatballs. He has been packing the meatballs for lunch with brown rice and teriyaki or BBQ sauce. They are low in fat and reasonable in sodium.

Sunday I worked at the airport in the morning. I got back into town just as the Seahawks had their incredibly unexpected last minute win against the Packers in the playoffs. Predictably the city's response was total fucking mayhem. I had to go do a grocery store mystery shop in my neighborhood after I got home. It took about 45 minutes longer than it should have for a variety of reasons. But we got the following items for free after reimbursement: two bottles of Powerade, 1/4 lb rosemary and sundried tomato ham, 1/4 lb gouda, 1/4 lb pepper jack, 1/2 gallon milk, 1 Muller dark chocolate and cherry yogurt (this was already the Free Friday Download) and most of a bag of cat litter. The deli purchases were part of the shop. Afterward Jeremy and I went to Menchie's so I could write down all my notes. We had a $5 reward and spent about $7 on top of that. I ate deli slices for dinner when I got home.

Yesterday we cooked some whole wheat spaghetti and had it with left over meat sauce and mozzarella for dinner. I also went to Menchie's on my lunch break and  used my $5 birthday reward for free yogurt. It was crazy busy at work. Jeremy spent $5 on two Lean Cuisines and Butterfinger cups. On the way home we stopped to pick up a top entry litter box I got from the Buy Nothing group. I have a long and painstaking plan which I hope will result in the cats willingly using it.

Jeremy's mom called him again. Things have been progressing well with that. They exchanged email addresses and he sent her some pictures.

Tomorrow is my last day working at the airport. I'm both sad and happy. It's getting to be too hard on me physically, and the commute is brutal, but I will miss some of the few minor perks it afforded me. Mainly security access.
