Yow….

Well…did the grocery run this morning and all I can say is yow! Spent 85 bucks on food including 6 bucks for more bird food but damn, that’s a lot of money…I did get 10 pounds of chicken leg quarters, a 3 1/2 pound corned beef brisket for St. Patrick’s day, 5 1/2 pounds of pork chops, and some breaded fish filets along with cocktail materials…I really hope I don’t have to spend anything for the next three weeks other than for milk or other perishables to make up for it…and my freezer is now full and I may have to put something in the one upstairs…have enough room for a couple of chicken breasts but that is about it…will now have to start planning meals for the next couple of weeks and get some discipline about not buying anything else…but, I couldn’t pass up the leg quarters at 49 cents a pound, the brisket at 1.99 a pound, and the pork chops at 99 cents a pound….I did get started on the window in the room I’m using and it looks like the biggest job of all of them…all of the caulk has to come out and the layers and layers of paint have to be ground off and most of the plaster around the window needs to be replaced…I started on it but don’t have the drop cloth I need to catch the debris when I am removing the old material since the grinder throws it everywhere…and I don’t have the plaster or caulk either…so, I’ll make a run to depot tomorrow morning and get all that stuff and get back on it tomorrow…I have three days to finish it before I can get back on the bike so that will keep me busy…the outside of the window is in just as bad shape so that will be a project for the spring that will take days on the outside, too…trying to not get too discouraged about the work there is still left to do…felt okay about finishing the major work on the last room but this job is a little overwhelming…oh, well….
