To get the small bag of dog food we like (which is just 2.2 Kg) you have to pay half the price of the large bag (which is 9.9 Kg). That’s nuts, for half the price you get less than 1/4 of the amount of food? Insanity. Doesn’t help I spent nearly $150.00 on dog food, and the various types of treats we use throughout the week. My bill today was nearly $500.00 bucks. Insanity. Mind you I did also pick up my wife’s birthday present which consists of six different cheeses, and some freshly baked French baguettes. It’s not very romantic but it’s something I know she likes, and can enjoy for several weeks (the cheeses more so than the bread). My kids won’t dig into it, and beyond the gruyere, neither will I. So not a self serving gift, but something thoughtful at least.
I also picked up a few other things I know that she likes for lunches over the next few days. If we can get through today, tomorrow and Saturday then the rest of the month will ease up quite considerably. Clear sailing from here until summer break from the look of things. Or, perhaps not clear sailing, but not the total cluster this week has the potential to be with so much going on, how about that? Sounds more reasonable. Have to set our expectations appropriately!
Toilet paper has gotten really expensive eh? I saw some packages going for thirty dollars or more. Yikes. Looks like running a hose from the tap might be in some of our futures if this keeps up. We’ll be stripping trees of leaves and then bark. We will be a haggard, and ornery bunch by then, believe you me.
If my count is correct then today is Thursday June 5th, 2025. I heard an interesting fact that as of June 2nd we were officially closer to the year 2050, than the year 2000. Holy-moly! That’s wild. I still think of fifteen years ago as being some point in the mid 90’s. I don’t know why, I just do. Ha.
