In no particular order...
- Happy Summer Solstice day! Today is the longest day of the year, daylight-wise, and now the days will begin getting shorter.
- Hubby's chronic back pain is flaring up so he was only able to bowl one game on his league today. It usually works itself out eventually but I hate seeing him in pain.
- Does anyone know how Linda from Practical Parsimony is doing? She usually blogs pretty regularly but I just realized I hadn't seen her posts in a while. I haven't really been paying attention to my blog feed over the past few weeks because we have been so busy, but I always worry when my bloggy friends just disappear.
- I got the annual bill for our house insurance today and it increased dramatically from last year. We haven't made any claims and we live in a reasonably safe area so this bill was pretty shocking!
- The Gmail app on my phone hasn't worked all day. Sometimes stuff like this happens but the long duration is odd. Then I saw this article about a major password breach so I guess I will spend the weekend changing all of my passwords :(
- Work was eerily quiet today. Yesterday was a holiday so it looks like everyone just took a very long weekend but our next fiscal year starts week after next and our budget/contracts are still in severe limbo! Next week at work should be interesting...
- People seem to be losing their shit today. Drivers seem to be driving more insanely than usual here, people out in public seem to have an odd affect, and even the very nice girl at my favorite coffee drink place was super rude to the customer ahead of my and she is always nice to everyone so I was utterly shocked!
- It's hot here. Even though we are a third of the way through the summer, it looks like we still have MANY more triple-digit days ahead. Ugh
- Grocery prices continue to climb. We usually only shop loss leaders, but I noticed a regular whole chicken in the meat section was $20, eggs were around $7 a dozen, and a loaf of bread was $5...how are these prices even sustainable for the average family??? If we need a chicken we will get a $5 chicken from Costco, five dozen eggs for $15 from Sam's Club, and bread for $1.50 from the Dollar Tree but not all people have those shopping options. Craziness!
- It's hard to believe it is almost the 4th of July already!
Grocery Prices can't be getting higher, the president said they're lower...he whose never actually stepped foot in a grocery store. Eggs here are around $4 but did get at Aldi for ,$2.71 and Kwik Trip for $3.49, but have nothing to do with anything the government says, but simple biology that egg laying chicken flocks are recovering again after the bird flu. I too notice drivers collectively are in need of refresher courses. Too many stupid accidents happening.
ReplyDeleteWe have an Aldi opening soon by our house and I can't wait!
DeleteLinda here. I had a fall off the porch that I still suffer from. The next day, I went back to ER with horrible afib. Still not better from that. Consequently, I am slow getting another laptop that has been ailing. I cannot get into my blog, email, amazon, bunch of stuff and cannot post on some blogs. Hope this goes through.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I hope you feel better soon!
DeleteI hope your hubby is feeling better and that things calm down a bit at work this week.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's going on with people but I too have noticed a lot more rudeness than usual.
Thanks!
