Headed out in a bit to do my volunteer work this morning. I wasn’t great with my closet clean-out because I didn’t get super aggressive, but I do have a few things to donate during the thrift pop-up.

Afterwards, I plan on going to the book fair a few blocks over. I just scanned the schedule, and there might be a couple of authors worth seeing give talks, but overall, I’m a little meh about the whole thing.

Had a nice day out yesterday, but only so-so. I did the walk that I wrote about, and Martini did well on the way out on our long-ish walk. We made it over to the smoothie place, but it was super crowded, and I asked myself, do I really want a nearly $20 acai bowl? Do I need to be spending that kind of money??

The answer was, absolutely NOT.

So I walked over to the coffee place and ordered a $7 chai latte and was a little sick about that too.

Everything costs so fucking much nowadays and I just can’t be flitting around buying cute fruit bowls and coffees. I want to, so badly. But now is not the time.

I ended up going to Trader Joes for lunch/dinner. Got a wrap, some fruit, tortilla chips and a sparkling water and had lunch and dinner for $15. Then I went outside in the shade and sat at a cafe table in the park and had a picnic of half the food and took the rest home for dinner. That’s better, but not good enough.

After the book fair, I gotta go get groceries for the week, and I’d like to keep it to around $50 somehow. Can I do it? Let’s make this a challenge!

Anyway, on the walk back, Martini was tired, so I ended up putting her in her bag and walking with her on my shoulder the whole walk back. She’s only 8.5 lbs, but when she fully relaxes, that’s dead weight, and I still have my bandage on my arm.

Speaking of which, I got results back from my squamous cell carcinoma surgery. I don’t exactly know how to interpret the results, so I copied and pasted into chatgpt. Chat told me some things that were good (clear margins, etc.), but a couple of things concern me. I’m not going to get into it right now because I don’t need armchair doctors popping up, and I want to hear the recommendations from my dermatologist, so…another reason why my stress level is a little higher this morning.

OKay, need to get myself and the dog moving. I gotta get her to daycare and myself downtown to the volunteer event.. But first, to find something cute to wear…

It’s sweatah weathah!!

xox,
