Where is my purse??

I had library books to return and one on hold to pick up. The library doesn't open til 10. I was totally done with my swim and out the gym door at 9:30. So I went to the grocery - same one I went to the other day. When I got home the other day, I realised that the cashier had not charged me for 2 of the 3 six packs of Diet Dr. Pepper. So today I bought yet another one and some other stuff and told her to please do 3 beeps on the DDP to make up for the two I stole. She laughed and thanked me and then I still had 10 minutes to kill before the library opened.

On the way home I planned brunch because I was really starving. Once I got into the garage, I started looking for my purse. No purse. Anywhere. WTF? Did I leave it at home? Nope, turns out I left it at the grocery store. Really.

They now have android pay, which I love, so I don't even know why I took it in and surely didn't open it while there. I just left it in the cart and walked out. The adorable manager told me, when I went back, that they thought for sure I'd be right back for it but just never showed up.

Clearly 1. I need to rethink my shopping habits. Maybe the purse needs to stay home. 2. I need to make sure I have a good inventory of what's in the damn thing if I do decide to take it out. But, all's good now. Whew.

I'm hoping that's it for excitement today. I need to clean up the kitchen, put away the groceries, make up the bed (Zoey was still snoozing in it when I left this morning) and probably do some sewing.

I watched my first ever episode of Night Black Mirror (sorry to anyone who read this before the fix) last night. I had never even heard of it before. Wow. There will be more of that in my future and maybe sooner than later!

More finance-ish thoughts

Wow. I was amazed and surprised and delighted at the response to my request for thoughts on publishing financial info.

topum told me that in Denmark everyone's finances are public record and in Moldova, knowing and chatting about everyone's money is common. Amazing and fascinating.

But, probably the single most compelling argument for my keeping my finance entries friends only was from mindyklasky. There are some legal issues that it could raise, cause or exacerbate that I really just don't need to chance.

Several people noted that they found the information interesting, informative and maybe even educational plus, I like the discipline and the recording of all of it so I will continue to post entries about my money, but they will remain locked down to friends only.

Day Wastin'

I really have not accomplished too much today. But, no biggie. I did get one doll made and I'll finish another bear before dinner so that's really not nuthin.

I just have kind of been wallowing around in various internet holes - with no particular conclusions but, on the up side, no money spent either!

I did dig through my stuff and find a nice little wallet on a shoulder strap that is big enough to hold essentials. I think I'm going to start using that instead of my purse. Now that I don't have to always have my inhaler with me, I think I can get by with this little thing most of the time. Nice.

I do have some cough stopping pills that I need to carry just in case. But I think I can keep a couple in the glove compartment, I'll be fine. They are small enough to fit a couple in half of a contact lens case which is pretty handy. I am very embarrassed at the shear quantity of contact lens cases I have. I have not worn contact lenses in probably 6 years and even then only wore them for maybe 4 years. And, yet, I have an entire drawer filled with cases. When the apocalypse happens and any of my friends need cases for their contact lenses, they will be so grateful.
