Grocery Shopping

This morning was dreary when I got up and it only got worse as the day progressed. I really did not get much of anything done as we needed to go grocery shopping as I was running out of creative ideas for meals. Finally around 1100 I went upstairs and asked Kathleen if she were planning on going grocery shopping today and she kind of muttered at me, so I went downstairs again and checked my e-mail.

Kathleen finally came downstairs and made herself something to eat for breakfast and then went back upstairs. Since it was getting close to my lunch time I made myself some soup. We finally got out of the house around 1430 and shopped at Winco until around 1730.

When we got home I drug the dozen bags into the house and helped Kathleen empty the bags and put things away. Once we got all the bags emptied I took the reusable bags back out to the SUV.

Since she wrote a check for more than she had in her account I had to log on and transfer a couple hundred dollars into her account. After I did that I went upstairs and changed clothes and then went downstairs and watched Fox news.

For dinner tonight Kathleen made some frozen shrimp primavera that we bought today. Tomorrow I have my annual dentist appointment; this is the first time that I have gone a whole year between dentist visits. Up until this year I had always gone every six months, but since I retired from Boeing I have not had dental insurance and since I never have anything done besides cleaning last year I asked my dental hygienist if it would be alright if I came in once a year instead of every six months.

She checked with my dentist and since my teeth usually only require a very light cleaning he and she thought that it would be fine, so it will be interesting to see how bad my teeth are after a whole year of not seeing the dentist or having my teeth cleaned.

We kind of agreed that we would try it and if my teeth stay reasonably clean over the year we would continue that, it would save over a hundred dollars a year and I would rather have that in my pocket rather than theirs.
