Easy dinner today of hamburger patty ( no bun ) , veggies, potatoes.
Cooked by ME. No overpriced nonsense in restaurants haha and no waiting.
My town is experiencing this weird rush where you can only get in to eat at the oddball hours without it being annoying.

Grateful for sunny and beautiful weather.

Grateful for all the groceries I bought.

Grateful that my hoebaked banana bread turned out so good. This was from Trader Hoes. I don't know exactly what it is but I always broke out the next day eating it. Yes, you have to use vegetable oil but I don't have this problem with other brands.

Grateful that I felt (somewhat) well enough to run errands today.
I haven't been out of bed since the 13th.
I went over to the post office to pick up my air fryer, but they said it was already on the truck being delivered.
And sure enough, it was at my door when I got home. SO excited to use it!
I got gas ($5.53 a gallon), the dollar store, then home.
It was so weird to see empty streets on a Saturday. People must really be feeling the punch from these gas prices.
It was great having my top down in my car. Nice 94 degree day.
*Does anyone want to start/join an air fryer recipe group?
Or would that be lame?

Oh, edit to add: The cashier at the dollar store gave me a tip on where to buy the cheapest gas (Costco and Sam's club are out because I don't have (or want a membership).
She recommended one of the casinos. But she told me that I need to get there early.
What's early, I asked her?
6 a.m.:rotfl:
I don't get up until noon.
Guess I'll be gassing up later, when I go for my late night shopping trips.
Maybe I'll win back my money at the casino.

Marina Starr

Spinach souffles fresh out of the oven: flaky, cracky and golden. Cracky is how it supposed to look because you have to swirl before you bake so it will rise and become flaky!

It is not failed hoemade souffles, lmao!

Speaking of food.
Today was the first day I've had an appetite since I got sick.
So Grateful for this.
Made Cornish Game Hen in the crockpot. Added scalloped potatoes and carrots.
Yummy.

Grateful that I had the energy to get my car washed. Poor baby has been sitting out in the elements for weeks, because I was too sick to get him washed.

Grateful that I got a $25 wash for only $12 (coupons).
When my car was finished, and I started to get in, the guy who washed it asked if I'd like a jasmine fragrance sprayed inside? ( Which isn't included with the basic wash I bought)
Sure, I said.
After he sprayed my mats, etc., and I got in, he said "God Bless You."

So sweet!
This. This is why I put up with the hot summers.
I moved here from a city with perfect weather. But the people were shit! Rude. Dismissive, and angry.

Ugh I will be grateful once my Fashion Nova leggings arrive. I bought two new dresses and found a pair of heels to match that are really cute. If the dresses are too short I'll just turn them into shirts. I also want to buy new dress leggings to go with the shoes, and perhaps a blazer to wear with the leggings and heels. I'm rebuilding my wardrobe. It needs to be done.

For my two pairs of Fashion Nova leggings. They finally arrived after 2 weeks.

For my beach run. Then I did pushups, sit-ups, tummy toning exercises and squats.

Colored my hair and re-did my toenails.

We are checking into the Aria in Vegas really soon. I've heard it's VERY nice but I've never been !
They had sent me such a good deal for a night I couldn't resist. Haha.
J ended up needing to do a meeting today at 1p.m. so I'm taking my own car over at 11:30a.m.

Sorry J ....... when I get access to a nice property it HAS TO BE a 23-24 hour thing hahahaha.
If my room isn't ready I'll store those bags and hit the pool .

I also tried not to stalk the website too hard so I can explore and have surprises.

I'm on a lunch break for my online legal focus group and am renting out an office today. It's a long one, from 8-6. I had to rent an office since it's a zoom group and I have to keep my phone charging and I can't do this at Starbucks since it's supposed to be private. They have a kitchen and a shower here, which I may do after I eat dinner.

Glad i don't have to run around today, and that I'm getting money at the end of the day.

Im glad Bertha is doing a better job taking care of her kids liked she is supposed to. She should step up to the plate more often.

Im glad L is running errands for his kids and I get more solitude. Yesss. I may make him a smoothie too or let him tag along with me on my shopping excursion later today. He get bonus points if he pays.

The nice thing about renting an office today was that I was able to use their microwave. So I brought some of my favorite frozen foods to heat up.And they allowed me to stay until an hour after my reservation was over.

Since I was driving past my old home in the swanky neighborhood, I decided to go to the beach and go for a run at sunset. It was beautiful out by the ocean. I ran for an hour, then went back to safe parking. Glad I squeezed in my beach run before it got too late.

This is really great for heating up food.
I have the one you plug into the car charger. But they make the one that plugs into the wall.
Wish.com has them for under $20.
I keep it in my trunk, because I am paranoid about being stranded ( I'm hyperglycemic and need to eat every few hours).

I am so glad you told me about these! The only thing is, my car's cigarette lighters are broken. I wish it worked. I would totally get one of these!!

I can always find an outdoor outlet somewhere though.

Putting this on my Amazon wish list. Thank you so much, DQ! I'm a prepper, too. Just took a bunch of canned goods, baby wipes, first aid supplies, a flash light, and water to my son and told him I was going to buy a battery operated radio/flashlight combo. One for him and one for me. Bc you never know.

Today I'm grateful for:

Starbucks to help me start my day
Walmart
Publix self-checkout. It's about fucking time they have it at my store. Feels so good checking out without having to deal with attitudes, cashiers that do not wanna work or the 'no hi, no hello' kind.

And finally EBT (food stamps) to buy groceries or I wouldn't be able to make salmon scampi today. I truly wish Starbucks would take EBT.

Eggs are food if you mix them with milk, dip a piece of bread in and fry them in butter. Then you top with cinnamon and maple syrup. ;D
