I finally saved enough money for glasses. It's been 5 years since I got new ones. I have really bad vision and they were $800 (progressive lenses with a high index, and Transitions for light sensitivity). The problem is that the doctor found a new artery in my left optic nerve and he referred me to an eye surgeon. My optometrist said it might be from high blood pressure or it might be a clot or who knows what. Eye surgery scares me silly. It's top of my list of things I'm squeamish about. I hope I don't have to wait too long to see the surgeon. I know I'll worry until I see him. Worrying is one of the things I do best. Thank goodness my BP2 is almost stable now.

I use the Ibotta AP to get money back on products that I would normally buy anyway. In about 8 months I have cashed in for 2 .... 35.00 gift cards for a couple restaurants. We seldom ever have money to go out eat so it’s a nice treat.

I save so much money planning ahead. It’s really turned into a game for me to find anyway to save a buck a quarter or a nickel.

I have planned out my meals so that I’m good to go for at least 7-8 weeks. It’s just my husband and I. I will be making 5lbs of meatballs probably over the weekend, I’ll bag them in portions and won’t have to make any for 2-3 months.

I’ll need bread and some veggies weekly but I get those from the Amish.

So it was a long day for me.

I need to do that planning out of means, wow 6-7 weeks of meals planned! No worry from day to day!

At my mom's with n3. N2 is a hour away. N1/M1 is somewhere in his new (to him) Cadillac GTS. (! I know, right?) Hamburgers and potato salad and corn. Yum. Taking a nap now. I cleaned my whole bedroom - except the bathroom. I will do that tomorrow!

I’m sorry that happened to you at Hellmart. I’m seriously impressed with the ways you find to save money and how you plan out your meals. Those are valuable skills to have. It would be nice to have half your talent at it. I’ll start small. I hope you feel better soon.

I enjoyed the cookout. Good weather, good food, good friends. I ate way too much. Vegging on the couch in my bathing suit now watching Jaws.

Feeling better. Surely the new med can’t work that fast? I am a rapid metabolizer. Maybe it’s the Wysa app that is helping me. Either way I’ll take it.

My first session with my life coach went well. We set my goals and she assigned homework. I’m going to try this in place of therapy (where I’ve had mixed results) and see how it shakes out. So far so good.

I hope everybody has a peaceful rest of the day.

I think trying a life coach is a great idea! Many times, I sit across the room from my pdoc and think: She's conducting herself just like a life coach!

I am glad things were looking up this past afternoon!

I am sad now after having a nice day. It seems like I need to treat myself and others better around me. I want to make amends to all I have harmed -- and I'm not trying to be, you know, "special" or whatever, just saying what's on my mind. At the end of the night, I'm always left alone with my thoughts. They eat at me. They eat at me like flies.

I wanted to check out and they said, “sorry, but you’ll have to use the self checkout.” But I had a giant laundry basket and the self checkout scanner wouldn’t scan it. They told me to keep trying “because the scanner is finnicky sometimes.” Eventually, I just ripped the sticker off and scanned that. Then they yelled at me for taking the sticker off! Thanks for nothing.


Omg that’s terrible !! There is no more “ customer service “ to be found anymore

I woulda ripped that tag off too !!

I’m really interested in how things go with your life coach....

Sounds like you had a lovely day

The Ibota App sounds interesting!


Do you have a good meatball recipe?

Sounds like planning meals helps a lot! I used to do more of it, but have gotten out of practice.

I hope the trauma subsides and you have a good day!


I don’t measure stuff but here’s what’s in them. I eyeball stuff lol

Ground beef
Fresh garlic
Onion
Green pepper
Basil
Breadcrumbs
Eggs
Milk
Parsley
Salt and pepper

I have no idea what was going on last night. I was so restless and my legs could not be still , felt like akathesia but I’m not taking anything so ....

I rarely get restless leg syndrome but this would be an extreme bout if that’s what it was.

I’m hoping there isn’t a repeat tonight.

What a sad, ugly life i lead. The pizza delivery man tonight made several sexual innuendos and i didn't even protest. I'm such a doormat. I've taken assertiveness training but it doesn't help. I'm so scared of everyone i don't dare use it. He was sloppily dressed, in grey sweatpants, work-boots and a shabby jacket far too warm for this hot day. He was not the sort of person i want to take food from. He knows where i live so i don't feel i can complain to management. Just one more reason i am glad i have withdrawn from life. I can't even make a transaction for a pizza go well. It's best that i be a recluse.
