On my first Wednesday off, at first, it felt weird. I start to deep clean our fridge. Actually, only a little got tossed out.
Snow is coming off the roof.
In my calisthenics, I add some weights. However, since it was my first time, I only did a small amount with the weights.
I got out some can food that weighed 15 ounces.
Murphy took Regis over to Newport, which is across the state line. Into Washington. They're getting cannabis. On the way back, they will stop at the library in Sandpoint. I have a few things on hold.
It is pretty icy, and one needs to be careful.

Yesterday I stopped at SUPER ONE, and I'm getting more and more perturbed with them. First, it was with them letting the local book banner and their petition set up in the store foyer.
I'm thankful they didn't get anywhere.
Now yesterday I went into the store to shop for Liz. It is relatively easy. Well, both of my clients use SNAP, and I've used the cards for ages. Now they want us to get a note for our clients or a permission slip to do their shopping. Even the clerk who checked me out knew me.
We have three other places that handle food here. One is up the north side. The other two are on the south side, closer to me. SAFEWAY is expensive and GROCERY OUTLET, which prices are much better. But their inventory changes quite often.
Well, we have the SPOT BUS up here. That goes down to Sandpoint twice a week. But the only grumble I have is the time it down in Sandpoint, around hours. It would be good if they had another bus run down to Sandpoint on the same day. So people aren't stuck there for six hours. So a trip down to Sandpoint would be every three to six weeks. But the other issue is managing the items we could get down Sandpoint. It could be figured out how to spot bus run into Sandpoint.
Two horses are enjoying some hay.
Sounds like a productive first day off. We have lost almost all our snow thanks to too much rain.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Dora, that first one looks, I dare say, very slick. Keep that weather there, lol!!!! And Happy New Year to you!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos
ReplyDelete...l\good luck settling in.
ReplyDeleteEven tossing out just a few things makes the fridge look better. do you need to get a note or permission slip every time you shop for the client or can you get just one and use it every time?
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to see the horses wearing some blankets, but I guess they are used to the cold. Maybe the have a barn to retreat to.

ReplyDeleteI commend you for doing exercise - I have become a blob... must get me some movement this year! YAM xx
When I saw you post on my feed, I remembered you were off Wednesday. It sounds productive! More to come!
ReplyDeleteLife in rural America.
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple buses here, but they kind of follow each other, go one direction, so in this small town, a trip to the grocery store by bus takes 45 minutes one way. Then you go in to grocery shop and could wait a very long time to get the bus that goes by again, same way, circuitous route to near home. YOu have to be very bored and have a great deal of time on your hands to do anything by bus around here. The SPOT type bus that goes to LEbanon and Sweet Home is same, no easy connections to get back home, if you take it to Lebanon. The only connection is an hour wait at the bus station, a mile and a half from me, then the 45 minutes on the city bus to get back here, because of the circuitous one way routes. Its useless.
ReplyDeleteWe have Grocery Outlet here, too. I love it. But yeah, they don't have a regular stock.
ReplyDeleteNice that they offer free bus service. I don't think it is offered here. I bet the first day of not having to work seemed so different. You have worked for so long!
