To Go or Not To Go

I should do another grocery shopping trip before the New Year, but I feel too lazy. There are items which I didn't get in our last shopping trip simply because I thought I would have time to go to another supermarket, but at the last second, I changed my mind and forgot all about the needed milk and cheese... Guess I should go... (before pricings increase further in January as they were often so in the past.) (To go or to stay

...) Have you done your last grocery shopping for 2022? --- That photo was taken perhaps about a decade ago when my life was at the bottom of a bottomeless pit. Looking up at that summer blue sky gave me the courage to move on (and survive)...

It's a lovely photo... Pretty and I went grocery shopping this morning after the pharmacy opened. They had several prescriptions ready for me to pick up and we needed some items we had forgotten to buy on our last shopping trip. We're done until the 4th of January now. We don't have anything else we need to do until the 17th when I have a doctor appointment to get my allergy shot. (Not looking forward to the drive or the shot, though.

At least I don't have to wait around for two hours after the shot to make sure I won't have an allergic reaction to it anymore.) I hope you have a good day.

I will have a good day if the cats (ours and the strays) let me. They know how to ask for my sympathy!

Of course they do... Humans have bred them to be our companions for thousands of years.

Believe me, I thought I did all that a week ago, then my youngest said, 'mom, can you go getting this and that and this and that for me...' - So I spent another giant amount of money doing the last grocery shopping (getting more cat foods as well.). Guess I should go again, just for the milk & cheese this time. (and perhaps some more fruits and veggies.)

If the price will go up, then it is better for you to go shopping now

And it can be regarded as an entertainment anyway

I’m done. I’ll go to lunch as usual this morning, then come home and take a nap! I love retirement.

Happy new year to you!

Some men the moment they tidied up ready for their retiremnet, their heart stopped. Yours sounds good,

. (For that reason, some of the male relatives of mine decide to continue working... just to live

.)

This is a nice photo. The last time we went out grocery shopping has been December 27th and I do not plan to go until January 5th.

I know that not being tall is often a problem, I am only 1.6m and I know very well.

My height is on a humble side, and that fence where the roses were, (a neighbor's) was about 2m. I had to do a few distorted positions in order to get the roses in the frame. The sun sort of bombed the picture, but it helped in the end

You're right. It's better to shop now before prices soar high for sure

I think last night was our last shop for the year. I am glad you could look up and survive.

I ended up didn't go because I kept using one excuse after another. (Lucky that the milk was OK for another day or so.)

I was just there yesterday. I forgot to get dry cat food, although I got some wet, so I should probably get that. I am trying to hold off on getting many groceries until January 1 though when the state grocery tax is repeal is in effect. I like your pic.

The leftover milk in the fridge told me, 'don't go, I have enough here for your need!' - so I ended up not to go (but still hesitant), the next thing I know: sounds of fireworks came from all directions!

Beautiful blue sky and gorgeous roses, right? I bought two white rose bushes (2 different varieties) after that, but too busy to enjoy them. (They live their life, I live mine since.

If you need things, I'd just go. I usually make a shopping trip once a week no matter what, but there are always exceptions to that.

I don't like get out of the house (unless to go to work), but whenever I go do my duty grocery shopping, I spend time wandering around and around the shops. This time, I figured out that it would be too late to do such a thing (wandering around the stores) since only one store remained opening. While I was hesitant, the fireworks came... Now we are in 2023!!! Happy New Year 2023

I tried to survive during that period, I think that was the worst time of my life since it involved my children and everything was out of my control (the family court was not as I expected, they let us down!). Happy New Year 2023, things will get better for you Angie.
