I pretty much did nothing yesterday and it was nice. I went out in the morning to buy some groceries for the week at like 6am and was back and done before 6:30. In three weeks since B has been gone, I have spent a total of $150 on groceries. Not too shabby. I think back to when I was living alone before and the money I wasted going out. Not that I spent that all on food. We all know my previous folly. It was the booze that killed me. $100 bar tabs. $200 bar tabs. Wasted money. Such a stupid thing I did. But you can't change the past only learn from it. Hey think of that as a reminder for all of you - GO VOTE. Our ballots came in the mail on Friday. B and I went over them and I filled them out yesterday. Hopefully she will be home before the due date and I can get hers in too. Mine will be going in today. Drive over and drop that sucker off.

I did do some box packing yesterday. I was getting frustrated by some things still being out. I took care of some of the art work that was still unboxed. Made a big difference in the clutter that was out. We truly are at the point where 90% of everything that is still unpacked is needed. There's maybe 10% that could get put away if I put my mind to it. So not bad. We have about 2 days of hard core packing left to do. I might go over to REI today and see about one of those overhead things. We're going to need one I am afraid. Our new car has space, but not that much space. We need two suitcases, 2 cats, the bed, and all the computer stuff in the car. Without an overhead bin thingie, it will be tight, too tight. I need to do some quick measuring of a couple of things first though. I need to make sure stuff will fit.

Made a BBQ chicken salad for dinner last night. Used up more stuff in the fridge and pantry. I even drank a bottle of sparkling cherry soda we have had since our last move. Glug glug, finish things up. That's my job.

Not much on the docket for today either. I need to go get some more bubble wrap and REI as I just said. Otherwise, not much else to do.
