I got sick on Thursday and thought I need to find some quick life insurance quotes because I thought I was about to die. I haven’t been sick in years and it was horrible. It’s Monday and I’m still not quite 100% and I wish this thing would just disappear and never, ever return again.
I never want to see the bathroom as much as I have in the past few days.
I’m finally able to eat food again, but I can’t eat much at a time now. It seems like my stomach shrunk but I’ve been eating soup, at least. Sunday I was hungry and ate only a couple bites of my breakfast and had to throw away the rest. I just couldn’t eat it.. I felt full. I don’t have a scale here and hope that maybe I even lost a couple pounds.
We could get up to 2 ft of snow starting this afternoon and continuing into late Saturday night. As soon as the weather word, that we have a blizzard warning, got out Shoprite got crowded like they were having a super daily deal and giving stuff away.
I went past Shoprite yesterday and it was jam packed. There was almost a couple accidents with people trying to get into and out of the parking lot. Luckily I went and got food on Tuesday so I’m good for the weekend.
I should really go there because JoJo is almost out of her food, but I think there might be enough until I’m able to get the car dug out. If not I do have a couple cans of canned food for her.
I found the best diet pill/fat burner in the world. Here is how it works:
1. lose your job
2. stress over it
3. lose your unemployment
4. stress over it
5. be unable to find another job
6. stress over it
7. not have much money
8. stress over it
9. eat very little to conserve the food you have
10. stress over it
That’s how I lost almost 10 pounds in the last couple months. I went from 153 to 144 when I got on the scale this morning.
I just can’t wait till hubby gets paid on Friday.. maybe.. just maybe I can buy a little food. We still have bills to pay. I hate bills.
I am on a diet imposed by the economy. We can’t afford to buy much in the way of food so I’ve cut myself down to 2 meals a day with no in between snacking. I don’t need, nor can I afford, any appetite suppressants.
I was laid off in December 2008 and haven’t been able to find a job. Just recently I was informed by unemployment that I’m not eligible for the extended payments so I don’t have much in the way of money coming in. Unemployment said that I didn’t have 20 base weeks of employment in the base year of my original claim so I’m not getting the extended payments. I guess that’s because I was a temporary employee. I worked at the same place for 3 years but only worked from June or July to December. It was a seasonal place. I did work at least 20 weeks each year.
Hubby works but we have bills to pay.. such as rent, car payment, utility bills, etc and his paycheck just isn’t enough.
I got paid last night and today the money is all gone! No.. I didn’t buy any expensive jewelry… I went grocery shopping. But at least I now have enough food for at least the next 2 weeks. I got a 2 lb package of hamburger and split it up so I have 1 package to make spaghetti and another to make a meat loaf. I got all kinds of stuff.
I also found Pepperidge Farm cookie scented candles there. I picked up a Milano Double Chocolate candle and it smells so yummy! They had all kinds of cookie scents but I just had to have the chocolate one!
They had sugar cookie, vanilla cookie, orange, mint and raspberry scented ones.. just to name a few. Actually I don’t remember all the ones they had because my eyes went right to the chocolate one!
I can’t wait to light this one up and see how it smells when the candle is burning.
Speaking of food storage… don’t forget about your pets and their food. You can get all kinds of storage containers for everything from pet food to their pet supplies including treats, collars, leashes, brushes, etc. A good storage container for pet food will keep the food fresh and dry and also keep out bugs. It will keep your pet out of the food and he/she will only eat the food that is placed in their bowls.
I used to buy 20lb bags of food for our dog and he would always help himself in between feedings. We moved the food someplace where he couldn’t get into it whenever he wanted. I never thought, at the time, to put it in a covered plastic bin. That would have been the best thing to do.
