Saturday: I woke from an awful dream that upset me mightily. Then I checked my blood sugar which had spiked at a number that I personally found shocking.
We went across the field today to celebrate a late birthday and an early birthday. Millie and Isaac have birthdays just 8 days apart and each year they do one party for them. They each get their own cake and presents, and they seem perfectly happy to share their party at this stage.
At the end of January, I made two grocery shopping trips. Those counted towards February and consisted mainly of meats to help restock the freezer and a bit of produce to see us through these past two weeks. I have not shopped since then.
Tuesday, I went out grocery shopping with Katie. I'd looked over sales and found nothing much to consider buying but I knew I had some outages that I wanted to fill. I also wanted to restock our produce. We were down to a single head of lettuce, carrots, celery and two mandarins.
I got well and truly ticked off the other day at a statement made by someone online. Ticked off enough that I quickly wrote out a response before reading anyone else's comments. I found the majority of people were in agreement with me but still, the offhand comment made really riled me.

I think we'll mostly be at home this week. I know I'd like to go out for groceries but I'm not planning on eating out this week. I would like to finish this week strong in my pantry/freezer challenge. As I near the end of the week I'll determine if I'm going to try and continue through the end of February. There's a chance.
I always dread going back to look at last week's goals and plans when I get ready to write the post for the new week. Something in me is just certain that I planned a whole lot that didn't get done. I must have been using my right-thinking brain last week because I could happily check off every single item on the week except having guests and that was because poor Bryan got terribly sick, and they decided to pass on bringing it to us.
Saturday: I spent all day long working on my genealogy, notebook one. My purpose going through this time is to organize information that I have and get it printed on the same pages for each relative rather than having random notes all over the place. I thoroughly enjoyed that time.
True confession: It is 1:30 a.m. as I start this post. Why so late? My mind would not shut off. John was just up checking to see if I'm all right and I assured him I am just fine. The headache I had when I initially went to bed is gone. But as I told him, in my mind, I have cleaned and organized and straightened everything we own and then I began to replan the meal plan I'd already written up and thought of umpteen dishes I might make with what we already have on hand. And for your benefit I'll add that none of that planning included the meats I bought in the past week, only the foods already on hand when January began.
