on Saturday I went to Safeway to get some groceries… a good thing, because I hadn’t been out shopping for about 3 weeks and the cupboards were rather bare…

happily it was one of the weekends where there were bonus air miles available…

I decided to do a good size shop and get some staples to be sure I spent sufficient money to get the deal…

kept track of what I was spending as I went through the store… did I mention that I got there at 7:30 am…  had them delivered which is very handy, particularly when buying lots…

after my surgery two summers ago, I couldn’t lift anything over 5 pounds for a few months and that is when I tried having the groceries delivered…

ran to Rona and picked up a few small trees instead of a large one and was able to use my air miles card there as well…

 

arrived home in time for the delivery of frozen meals from Food for Thought who do a great job with single meals… I haven’t had any desire to prepare dinner recently so haven’t been eating well… when I have some of these dinners in the freezer I can pop something into the oven, have a nap and get up to dinner…

then the furniture fiasco…

diamonds in the snow...

diamonds in the snow…

today I woke up to diamonds glittering all over the snow… even in the dark it was very lovely so I took a few pictures before getting picked up for work…

glittering snow...

glittering snow…

wasn’t quite dark when we left work and headed out for dinner at Original Joe’s where we had a great visit… but it was very dark when we blasted home so I would be here to receive my hide-a-bed…  the guys were late getting here which gave me time to go out and shovel the sidewalk for them…

finally the living room is complete…
