A Indian-British Grocery Store Opened In Town!

It also has a small Indian restaurant attached! I'm so happy because it carries my favorite British products;


And I scored! I got this giant 240 teabag box for only $17.00! Let's put this in perspective, I had been driving an hour away to get the 80 tea bag box for just under ten dollars at the closest Cost Plus Market! My Gosh! I have so many, and a source to buy more, that I am able to make ice teas with them!
 Adding even more delight, they also carry these! I cannot tell you how good these are, and how good they are for you. Completely full of fiber they are. There is nothing to compare to them on the America market.
And these! These are chock full of oats! And soooo tasty!

Unemployment checks. . . .I fear I have made a major mistake. I sent in my claim form Friday. I called the DIY phone line yesterday night and this morning. Last night it said my last check was from July 10th, paid on July 20th. I'm confused. The strip at the top of the claim form had gone back to the usual format, listing how much money was left in my claim. The claim form before it hadn't listed that, and only mentioned my IRS deductions. If this goes true to form, then tomorrow they should had processed my claim form. I will call them tomorrow and find out. Otherwise I will be living on my pizza earnings, and I should have not spent the money I did. And, let's face it, I shouldn't be regardless. I haven't gotten any bites on any of the applications I have filled out. I should just assume the worse and save as much money as I can. Should have all along. The manager at the pizza place, says one of the employees in the other store, who's is also drawing unemployment and working part time, is getting food stamps. She wants me to try and get them as well. But I don't know. Is this other person a driver, because that changes things. I mean tips! I get tips, and the amount changes from week to week. How would that effect things?

I went to the local community clinic as suggested by the county, since I haven't been able to get an appointment. I also know that the pizza place manger has a appointment there as well, because she makes too much money for what is now the new rules under the recession . They told her on the phone she would have to pay $40.00. So, that's what I was expecting, but no! I didn't have to pay anything! I got a three month prescription for my high blood pressure and cholesterol meds, and yes (!) a prescription for an antidepressant. And boy, do I need it! I don't know whether it's menopause, or my situation, or both, but I keep switching back and forth between being really, really depressed and being okay, happy. When I'm depressed, I can even have a happy sexual fantasy. My imaginary lover cheats on me, tells me he never loved me, etc. And of course no . . .shall we say, release for me when I do this.This is DEPRESSION! I so glad the nurse practitioner prescribed me the antidepressant. Of course it's a half dose of the normal amount, but maybe that will do.

And in six weeks I go and get a physical!
