You went out???? Already???

[susandennis]

Yes, yes I did.

I realized yesterday that my bacon supply - strips and crumbles was getting perilously low. My bacon on of choice (both varieties) is the precooked at Costco. Plus, I could stand to hoard some more toilet paper and winter butter. I can't remember why going tomorrow is a problem. I know it's always dicey to go on Fridays and they do not have my precious Old People hours on weekends. My bacon supply wasn't going to make it until Monday without sacrifice...

SOOOO I got up, got treadmilled, got showered and dressed and hustled my ass to Costco. In at 9:05, out at 10:20. Got everything on my list plus two splurges. Sat-is-fact-ory!

I will so miss Costco Old People hours. Tons of parking availability, no cashier line, no one in the aisles. It's heaven.

I'm now set until next Wednesday when the house cleaner comes and I'll go grocery shopping then.

But, today, I have been out in the world-ish.

Also, I will not miss pandemic traffic - or lack of it. At all.

So, yesterday, at my whining at not finding shows to watch on TV, lifeinroseland gave me the most simple, the most obvious and the one trick I had never tried before. Google "what are the best shows on [insert streaming network]" Doh. So I started with HBO Max and hit a couple of excellent lists that were a mix of stuff I'd seen, stuff I'd rejected and stuff I'd never heard of before.

The winner du jour was The Righteous Gemstones. Fun and funny and a teensy bit dark. Great cast. And second season on the way.

I also used my slow ship Amazon bonus money to rent Ocean's 8. It didn't hurt and was pretty.

More of the same scheduled for today. After I go back down to the car to get my phone that I left there. I always do that. I can't figure out a good scheme for remembering. Black phone on black car seat or in black holder.

No biggie, I can round up the garbage and recycling and contribute to the dumpsters that live in the garage with my car. So it's not a total tragedy. hahahahaha.

Guess I'll get on that little chore right now. Oh and somebody's little box needs scooping.

I went to the grocery outlet this morning and it was practically empty. :)
the only thing that I'm scared about regarding them is at some point I'm going to have to walk home carrying a 12 pack of Coke with a screwed up knee. I am not looking forward to that.

Winter butter: I learn something new every day.

[susandennis]

hahaha. it's just me. I keep butter on the counter. In winter, my house is too cold for regular butter to get warm enough to spread so I use the high priced stuff. Kerigold. I try to save a penny by buying it at Costco.

...and Google tells me winter butter is a thing outside of your definition. (Maybe you knew that too) Something about cows' diet in winter and summer. I thought you were buying high falutin' butter. Well Kerigold is pretty deluxe but not quite what I was thinking.

I did NOT know that!
