Successes:
1. Worked 2 days this week.
2. After a crazy day at work, my brain was tired. When I got home Carey asked if I wanted to go out to eat. Well, heck YEAH! But we got to our favorite little dive, and they were closed for the day. Surprisingly, I wasn't all that disappointed. I suggested we go back home and have breakfast for dinner. But when we got home and I saw what was in the fridge that needed using up (ground turkey, slaw mix, shredded carrots) I made Inside-Out Egg Rolls instead. It wasn't great, as I over salted, what with all the soy sauce, but it was edible, and I was happy to cook perfectly good food instead of having it go bad, as it was getting close. And I even bit the bullet and took the leftovers for work lunch the next day.
3. I clicked on a Kindle deal of the day, but Amazon alerted me to the fact that I had purchased that particular book previously. Thank you, Amazon, for keeping me from a duplicate purchase. I also had signed up for a 7 day free trial of Showtime through our Kindle Fire TV, and after about 2 days I realized it was totally not worth paying for, and immediately canceled any further service.
4. So thankful for health insurance. This week and next I saw/will see my primary-care physician, the 2nd half of the sleep study, the dermatologist, and the clinic to have my port flushed. I also need to get back to the hand specialist, but I think that will have to wait till after the holidays, as I have lots of making to do that will require both hands. :)
5. I don't want to sound like I'm bragging, but I was able to fill up my tank with gasoline for less than $2 a gallon this week. Perk of living in a petroleum-rich state, I guess.
Frugal From the Kitchen This Week:
Saturday: Chicken Curry
Sunday: Sunday supper at Kasey & Beau's
Monday: Inside-Out Egg Rolls
Tuesday: Dublin Coddle
Wednesday: *Tex-Mex
Thursday: I can't remember!
Friday: late lunch, skipped supper
(*not-frugal takeout or dinner out)
