Sunday Reflections and Accomplishments

 I don't remember now what I wanted to blog about! 

Oh I went to church this morning!

And I didn't cry. I went in (as this is a mega church's satellite location) as if this was just another show on TV. I just needed something to pass the time.

That probably helped with the not crying. I could critically analyze, zone out and not feel the wrath of God watching me.

Side note: I think that's how I felt a bit with the Dinosaur's birthday. OMG...how bad would I feel if someone didn't reach out to me on my birthday after learning I'd been separated from my job. Oh, but wait. That's what's happened to me! (But I guess Deb and M did reach out a bunch after I left Call Center #1). Oh well, I felt like if I didn't reach out to Dinosaur, I would be eternally punished. How much more can be taken away from me? 

Anyway, I was just thinking...I see why black people fall for this stuff in groves. Cuz life in America is oppressive and saddening if you think about it too long. And why not choose hope. But I always think of all the enslaved Christians who died in slavery - their prayers for freedom were never answered. That's a tough deal.  My white male counselor asked before...other people must feel this way...what do they do about it... I'm like...they're just as angry, you clearly don't know them. He thinks because black people aren't rising up they must be happy with the status quo. Silly rabbit.

Anyway, in other news. The churchgoing was a boon. It was so sunny, I went to Walmart and just sat in the parking lot reading stuff on my phone. Didn't have anywhere else to be.

After awhile, I finally went in and picked up some grapes and eggs. Almost got rice since I just opened my last bag. I don't remember anymore how long that supply lasts because I eat so erratically. But surprisingly the price of that hasn't shot up.

Just about all my convenience food has though - 

$5 corn pops

$4 for a bag of corn chips (I didn't even buy them; I've bought corn chips maybe twice ever when the chips I want were too pricey that day; so definitely never for $4).

The cheap walmart chips that used to be 97 cents... now $2. 

So I got a small bunch of grapes, eggs, Corn Pops, 1 apple, and something else.

I thought again about using my McDs rewards for a quarter pounder without cheese but didn't feel that compelled. So just drove home. 

I got the corn pops because Kelloggs is giving away $5 coupon for buying their cereal. So I uploaded my receipt on their site. We'll see.

I also had on my social calendar to restart my Amazon Prime free trial so I can watch Harlem today. That went off easily. I'm actually not sure why my payment was declined in the first place. But it worked out because I got the free shipping anyway that I didn't need when I was in Nashville and I got 30 more days of the free trial. AND logical brain had kicked in and had me wait to use my $10 promotional credit when I restarted the free trial. So I got to use my $10 promotional credit to buy 60 pacs of All laundry detergent for a grand total of $2.97 and free shipping. It arrives tomorrow.

Free Money never tasted so good. It was so easy to use that I went ahead and logged the $10 in my free money log for the year. 

I love when things work out! 

To be fair when I got the credit a few weeks ago I was stumped on what to buy and got stuck in some clicking rabbit holes with P&G. Luckily, I forgot all that and just 1-clicked my way to these laundry pods.

I don't do laundry that much so I'm sure these will last awhile. And they're portable for my month long getaways. 

Then before this I also made tuna and egg salad and toasted a pita. Can't wait to settle in and watch my show. It would be better with chips, but I'll suffice. I can mix Corn Pops and popcorn later and all will be well.
