10:55am
I haven't done much this past week
other than get my hair cut this past Tuesday.
I don't get it cut but maybe once a year if that.
It's been needing it especially after being sick
and going through lots of medicines in the hospital.
My hair was falling out there for awhile being
on my medicines. I still haven't taken my regular
prescription medicine for Crohn's and have been doing
fine without it. Now I've been trying to decide
which color to color it. I've been wanting to try
a red color to do something different and then
maybe change back over to blonde by this Summer.
I haven't been able to bring myself to do the red just yet, lol.
I do have the hair coloring in a medium auburn color.
Hubby's been on call all week.
During the week we've only had like one call
then the weekend hit and we spent about 6 hours
or so at his work yesterday doing
emergency maintenance.
Today it's the usual, tidying house,
getting ready for work and school tomorrow,
laundry and grocery shopping.
Oh FYI, Kroger will be running sales ads
from Wednesday to Wednesday instead
of their Monday to Monday.
Part of this weeks menu will be from food
found in a vacated apartment from hubby's work-
spaghetti sauces, gravy, green beans, tomato soup,
2 bags of Omaha Steak brand meatballs,
6 Omaha Steak brand hamburger patties,
hash browns.
These meals are made for a family of 4 with leftovers
for hubby's week day lunches at work.

Whelp gotta go. The emergency pager just went off.
Was trying to time our trip to the grocery store
when going out on call.
Hmmm, that worked out well don't ya think lol.
Get paid to drive to work and the store.
1:30pm
Back home.
Managed to get some mark down items
on my grocery list like celery, hoagie buns
and not on my list but got to put back for
a Christmas or birthday present,
an Old Spice gift set with full sized
body wash, body spray and deodorant.
Was $10 marked down to $3.00.
Once home we got the groceries put away
and I got 10 pounds of chicken leg quarters
put in my crock pot trio.
I'm going to cook them up ahead of time
and freeze them once deboned and skinned
so it takes less time to make meals out of them
later on.
