More "stuff" arrived... :)

Pancake makings ready for today...we will see if I can pull it off.  And my new black and fashionable dish drainer arrived to meld with my new coffeemaker and toaster.  Quite the "ensemble".  Amazon driver is wondering what happened to that old lady on Main.  She is ordering up a storm...  It is those siblings and son.  :)  I am still waiting on the stuff I did order - sneakers and socks from my REI rewards.  They do not seem to have the Amazon delivery routine down.  Not a problem.  

Did get going early yesterday and get to Shoprite.  Harrowing day.  I was out of everything and just clenched my teeth and went to it.  NEVER had spent that much at a grocery establishment before since my son went to college in 2001.  It was a spent $131/"saved" $123 day.  Yikes.  Restocking and the Shoprite CAN CAN sale really ganged up on me.  Did go for a chilly walk after shopping.  Ran dishwasher pre walk.  Did a load of wash post walk. Talked to NC friend who recently had back surgery...yikes.  I can't imagine going under the knife and especially at 82.  

Today have not heard yet if family friend wants to brave the cold.  EOLD discussion at noon.  Lansing tonight. Position filled on the dishwasher job.  Now what?  Need to figure out how to fill my days in ways I was not pre trip with son.  And refill the $ coffers a bit...  Maybe will see what the coffee shop down the street needs.  They had a sign in the window yesterday.  

If you speak your mind today you will shock a few people but that’s good. Others need to be reminded that when it comes to making choices you are willing to hear their opinions but, ultimately, the final decision will always be down to you.

Upsets regarding your career or the activities that take up most of your time are likely to negatively affect your self-confidence. Don't fall into this trap, Libra. The forces are beyond your control and the situation doesn't reflect any shortcomings on your part. You might have to put in some effort to straighten things out and return to normal. It's a pain, but you'd best do it without delay.

You’re used to looking outward and engaging with other people, but as mental Mercury dips into Capricorn and your sensitive fourth house today, your attention will go within. Tune in to your own innermost thoughts and feelings between now and January 27 and reflect in the comfort of your own home. You might talk to family or childhood friends as you relish this chance to get back to the core of who you’ve always been. If you get moody, journal, confide in a loved one or soothe your mind, body and soul with self-care.

Will try to get a full walk in today but Friday is forecast to almost "balmy" so I know this will not last forever.  Wish me luck on the pancakes.  :)  Have a good Wednesday.
