Happy Wednesday Everyone! sunny morning and it looks like a very nice day ahead. Temperatures are decent and almost feel like spring is in the air. But, we still have March to deal with.
Yesterday was a crazy day. Started with the dog groomer who actually showed up on time. That should have been my first clue that the world was off kilter. I figured she would be done and gone and I could get on with my day before noon.( Nope.) She left and then came back, rang the bell crying that her car was dead in my driveway. To make a long story short she spent the next hour here waiting for a tow truck and it totally threw off my day. I did feel bad that she had to cancel her appointments and for her customers that were waiting. At least I was the first appointment.
The rest of the day went ok. Got a few things from Amazon, Walmart brought a grocery delivery and my oldest daughter stopped by for a quick visit. Needless to say, the day disappeared in the blink of an eye.
................................
Today is starting off better with no plans other than the usual stuff that needs doing around the house.
I have three boxes ready to send for donation and I only have to schedule the appointment.
Tomorrow will probably be my day to run a few quick errands. Our local supermarket is running a few sales but the sales end on Friday and I don't want to miss the opportunity to save some money. It seems that these days that in order to save money you have to shop in multiple stores and can't just buy a weeks worth of groceries in one place.
Sams Club is selling a dozen and a half eggs for $5.92 and the limit is two per person. Never in my wildest dreams would I think that price would be good.
I'm excited that the new season of Survivor starts tonight.
Can't really say there's much new or exciting going on here. Just the usual.

@Marilynda1225 Boston Rob is my favorite too! Maybe I should watch Traitors. It has to be good if he is on it.

@AmbiePam it's really good even if he wasn't on it. He's also on the game show Deal or No Deal Island as a player (last season) and this season he does an aftershow interview with the person who gets voted off.

It was annoying to have her sitting here for an hour but I knew it was the right thing to do to offer her a warm place to wait.
My all time favorite Survivor is Boston Rob. I'm hoping he comes back for season 50 which should be a big hoopla.
Do you watch traitors? He's on that now and it's really a good show. 3rd season already

@Marilynda1225 That's very kind of you to donate instead of adding to the landfill.

Wow $8.99 for eggs is nuts. You're lucky you get a free one each month.
Yes I felt bad for the groomer. Her day was off to a bad start.

That reminds me that I'll need eggs soon. Meh, the prices are so high and not just eggs but everything lately.

Every time I shop it's more and more expensive. There's no such thing as a cheap meal anymore

My nephew and his wife arrived HK last night. They took a short trip to China today. When they come back, we'll meet up.

Poor groomer. I paid over $8 for a dozen and a half eggs, but it was not at Sam's Club.

I have an acquaintance who has a dog grooming business. She has a customized van she does it in. It seems to have some kind of problem every few months..and sometimes she has to have it towed

We have a few of those mobile van services that offer dog grooming. My groomer does everything in the house

That is great that you had the dog groomer in early and then were able to enjoy the rest of the day without the waiting part of it.
My workday had an unexpected surprise for me. My manager met with me without notice via video chat and sent praise to me, passed down from our new head manager, that my work was being noticed. That made me feel great.
My day was good, we were kind of busy, so I stayed an extra little bit.
It is so nice to see so much of the snow piles melting and so quickly as they have been this week.
The cold returns tonight or tomorrow I think, but the break was nice.
As I was making a cake this morning, adding the eggs, I wondered if the baking goods in your country have risen in price due to the egg shortage. We take things, like eggs, for granted and I just wondered.

I'm sure hearing praise about your work made you feel so good. Its nice when the higher ups recognize hard work.
I just saw in the news this morning that egg prices are going to go up an additional 41% this year. Its mind boggling isn't it!

I wish that we lived near a Sams Club . We don’t get to shop there often.

At least she was able to get it towed and I hope it wasn't something expensive to fix

She certainly was going to have a hard time meeting her appointments unless she rescheduled some
