04April26: mornings are busy…

Andy’s making demands.
Cheeky cat!!
Open doors in preparation for morning bird song.
American robins might be in song, but I sure as heck am not!
This is his choice for breakfast, but he still has his ears tuned in for that absent bitdsong….
Finally, I get to fix and eat my breakfast- with kitty boy drooling and watching me take each bite.
He stays till I’m thtough.

I tried call-in grocery shopping this week. The total was about $176. I was expecting the bill to be between $250-300!

How could I be so far off? Happily?

Well, I skipped the candy aisle, the cookies and crackers aisle, and the frozen treats aisle!

It wasn’t planned that way, yet it gave me a start to realize where I spend money at the grocery store.

Also, I skipped the salty snacks and pop aisle, though I always limit myself on the former, just buy the small cans of pop since I waste most of the larger sized ones. I tend to go for mineral water, an extravagance, I know, but one gets the bubbles without the unneeded calories.

Next week, the shopping list will  probably include tea, coffee beans, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (I can’t resist) a lemon cookie from Canada (“Soarry,” but they are really lemony and good!), and maybe those frozen lime fruit bars. Ritz crackers. Yeah!
