Bad ideas:
1. Grocery shopping on Sunday afternoons
2. grocery shopping when the weather is crappy
3. grocery shopping while hungry and stressed
guess who did all three today?
The good news, I suppose, is that my freezer is FULL of struggle food - pot pies, those stuffed chicken breasts with the RAW CHICKEN!!! warning all over them (for good reason!), fish sticks, and pizza rolls. They also had sodas on sale (the 16.9z bottles, 6pk for $2.99, limit 5).
Now it's a week later (oops), the high today might have hit 11 degrees, and I'm so very happy to have a found full of food (carbs). cooked up an obscene amount of mashed potatoes last night, which felt lik the only reasonable thing to do, given the howling wind and cold temps.
Tomorrow is an actual holiday - MLK day - and I'm working. Huzzah! I forgot/didn't know we had that holiday, so bonus pay for me working what I thought was a normal day.
