We are currently in a deep freeze, for our area anyway, went down to -17*C last night, and the high today is -10*C, but feeling much colder when the wind is factored in, so looking at -20*C or so. That is not cold, it is %&$@ freezing. The only consolation, the sun is shining and making it better to accept.
Gave Hubby an errand to do today, go to drug store and pick up two Rx, one for him and the other for me. Then go to get some milk at the grocery store. He was gone a long time, wondering what was keeping him, well I soon found out when he arrived home. He was carrying a huge box. Now, you must understand that when a product we usually buy is on sale we purchase several, we don't hoard but certainly take advantage of the sales. We are both retired, certainly not wanting for anything but, like to save money when we can. We do that for everything, groceries, paper products, cleaners etc. etc. Today, the drug store must have had a sale on tissues and toilet paper. Box full, did not see the Rx or the milk so wondered if he forgot, but they were under everything. We are good for paper products for a month or so.
He did note, the grocery store was almost empty, and didn't know how they are able to stay open if this is a growing trend for this store. The store is located in a retirement complex, so I suspect it was just too cold for anyone to go out.
Started to Spring clean the kitchen today, have decided to do a bit every day, so have given myself the week to get everything done. Learnt my lesson many times over by doing it all in one day, don't do that anymore. Hubby will clean the windows when it is warmer, I don't do windows.
Got a lot done on the quilt yesterday, will go in there when finished talking to you.
Dinner tonight a salad needs to be eaten, so will have that with pizza with lot of veggies.
We stock up on good sales too but these days half the shelves are empty around here, and what they do have the prices have gone outrageously high. Crazy times we are living in. Stay bundled up and nice and warm!
ReplyDeleteDidn't dare to venture out today, just too cold. Your hubby is very accommodating, you are luck to have him. Just wait until the snow arrives tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to that, at all!
ReplyDeleteA productive visit to the shops. It's a glorious summer's day here. Mid to high 20s. Sunny. Blue sky. Gentle breeze. When I open the front door I smell my roses (I have over 20 bushes). Just trying to convince myself I'm not envious of your snow!
