The common wisdom to grocery shopping is that you should make every effort to go after you have eaten. I threw caution to the wind with this "common wisdom" and decided to go to the store after church BECAUSE I would most likely find things I wanted to eat for the next week and a half. This also because I felt like we had almost nothing to eat in the house that wouldn't/ didn't take at least a half-hour of prep. So we shopped hungry, and got a bunch of food, but it's exciting because when we got home we ate leftovers, cleaned out the fridge and then started some food prep for the week.
My "find" for the week at the store was when I walked past the avocados and a big sign said, "10 for $10!!" (in yellow). I couldn't resist, but I am almost more leery of avocados than I am of oranges (oranges seem to be a HUGE hit and miss), and so I leaned over and gently squeezed one of the green fruits. The thing almost felt like liquid. I excitedly felt another one and it was a touch more firm, but it too was very squishy. Excited by my find I grabbed a grocery bag and asked Lisa if we could get some. I slipped two very squishy avocados into the bag. When we got home a happily pulled them out and started in on making guacamole. The avocados were like butter. Very, very nice! This will come in handy as we were planning some burritos later this week... and errr any chips that might happen to come by.
Dog/ Cat/ House sitting wraps mid-week. I think we'll both be happy to just have the two locations (Apartment and Townhome) to live in. (And Niko will be happy to see us home more often.) The floor is being redone in the townhome this week and we are expecting some additional furniture we ordered to arrive next week.
Tomorrow I am meeting with my new oncologist. No scans or anything tomorrow, but it'll still be un-nerving to cover all that stuff again. I could really use prayer for that.
Thanks for the continued support!
