Third Week

Okay, I spent $31.65, of which $3.48 is cat food and doesn't count, and a package of two bolts for 97 cents. That comes to $4.45, and comes to $26.73 for the week's food. Still coming in over $25, but not by much.I used the pork chops from before and the bag of black beans I bought before as well. I'm so surprised that it cost so much for just veggies, basically.

I bought;
a carton of milk 2.88
a block of sharp cheddar cheese 2.92
a jar of salsa verde 1.78
a bottle of soda to drink on the bike home, 1.58
two packages of x-large corn tortillas at 1.68
a bag of turnip greens for 2.78
a bunch of cilantro (which I haven't even used) at .44
jazz apples for 4.58
2 avocado for 1.28
4 lemons for 1.00
tomatoes for 3.55

Hmm, if I take the soda off, I am coming in at budget!
So this weeks menu features mashed (sorta, this is harder then it sounds, man, I need a food processor) black beans on corn tortillas, with cut up bits of pork chops top with another tortilla, and that is topped with the greens, salsa, cut up tomatoes, cheese chucks and possibly the cilantro if I ever get to it. It's very tasty!I love my own cooking!

Now last weeks was not so good. It was the rice. I didn't like it. I  should have used all of the stir fry veggies on it. It would have been so much better. I still have some of it left in the frigde. I'm going to pick out all the chicken and give it to the cats and toss the rest.

I have lost about 3 pounds, maybe 5. It's hard to tell with my scale. I seem to have replace the food calories with soda calories at work. Must stop that.

I am using my bike to go to Wallyworld and get my groceries. My sister gave me Margret's old paniers. I have put them on my bike and they work excellently! Now I only have to use my car for the litter, and kibbles.

My brother wants to talk to me. What for? What does he want? He wants something, that's the only reason why he talks to me. I can't give him money, I can't let him take a loan out on the house, and I don't really want him living with me if he's breaking up with his wife.... the house, not so liveable, and I'm sure we would drive each other mad.

My sister says he's upset about me thinking he could be the person who broke in. Well, he's done it before. He used to sent the oldest son in through the dog door to open the door for him. He has forced a window open before. So when did he stop doing these things? Why is it so wrong for me to consider the idea that it was him (before I knew what was taken)?

What hell does he want to talk about?
