Well, I did it again.. I walked to Safeway Grocery Store and its just over a mile. I walked in..... still walking. and walked around the store putting stuff in the grocery cart. Got all that was on the list.. nothing else extra. Knew I only had that large bag.
Walked up to the checkout and Yes.. it allll fit in that bag.. But..........It was SO Heavy.. It must have weighed 20 pounds..... I figure there were lots of places to stop and take a rest. And that is what I did. But, my arm is shaking and stressed out... I'm pooped out.. and well, from the shoulder all way down to my left hand.. is shaking.... I think I'm getting to old to do this type of hauling..... after allll in a months time I will be 65 years ... Young....... See there is that bag that a very good friend gave me from his travels. It was a 50 lb bag of rice... that they took and made into a carry all bag.. pretty cool...
So I made another Slow Cooker Meal. It was soo goood.. Sirloin Steak, with Mushroom Sauce.
I am having so much fun with my Slow Cooker... so I won't have to cook again till Wednesday. I have enough stuff in the freezer that will last me for around 16 or so days.. may be longer.. Not bad..
Its been a few days since my last blog. Had to do a few things over the weekend.. OH.. yah.. things.. lol.. Nothing exciting.. I have decided to start cooking with just my slow cooker. So last week I bought from a menu that will hopfully last me almost a month. We will see. So this is the first thing I made
It is Teriyaki Chicken with it was suppose to be with Jasmine Rice but I didn't have any and I was to lazy to go down to the Philippino Store for some. So, I found this... Quinoa in the cupboard. And yum.. I only made enough for 2 days.. but that is all that I am doing for. each for 2 days.
Today I have Sirloin Steak/Mushroom over of course.. Mashed Potatoes.. I know.. I know it should have been Brown/Jasmine Rice.. But,, I think Mashed Potatoes will be wonderful.. pictures to come soon....LOL
Don't tell me I may be doing the wrong thing.. Because then I will feel really bad.
Jenny Craig is still not well. I have given her the Med's the Dr had given her. Every single day 2 times a day 2 different types of meds.. And still she is not getting any better. I have 3 friends who think I should be thinking of putting her down. I on the other hand have been thinking of asking the Vet if he knew anyone who would want to keep her, and go ahead and pay for her operation. It would of course cost $700.00 which I don't have. If he says no.. then I will put her down. I just can't see her suffering like this. And I will never ever get another dog. This is the last one.
I know I have blogged about this before. And I think I have told everyone that I am on Food Stamps and also my living situation is from Section 8 which is a voucher that allows me to live in an apartment. And... Well, now that I will be turning 65 this coming month.. Social Security is now going to take out of that little check $100.00 for Medicade.
So I let Housing know this past week, and now I need to let the Food Stamp place know about that and the fact that my rent will be going down. I'm sure my food stamps will be going down also.. after alllll... Welllll.. I think it should go up.... I know that right now I get $132.00 and that allows me $4.00 per day for a month to eat on... Yep.. that is it.. but I was getting less than that when I lived in Reno,, but I was getting unemployment and Social Security. I should find out about that this coming week....
Anyways.... I walked up to the social services on 2nd Ave and Lanora.. And as I got on the elevator,, there was a sign stating that the EBT office was only open from 8am till 2pm.. I was a few minutes late.. OH, well, I figured there was something else I could do.. the elevator opened and I walked in and on the right side there is a Guard... and there is nothing else telling me that I should wait at a line.. or wait here sign.. So I walked past him and said.. "HI".. Where he yelled at me ...telling me to "Get back here".. now this guy is young.. must be between 23 and maybe 25.. or he just has a baby face. I said..What?? He said.. "Your not suppose to go up to the desk till she calls you".. I was actually going to go sign in on the computer.. we were doing that before.. Had something changed?? I was so shocked at the way he treated me.. I turned to him when I walked back to where ever that invisible line was.. and told him.. "look,, I'm not a crazy person, or someone on dope, or on meds to make me think right. And so I feel like you are out of line at the way you just spoke to me"
The woman behind the counter said.. come on up.. I can help you...... so I told her what I had,, she processed it and told me that it would go to another department.. and I would be getting a letter soon... I did apologise to her for my actions.. and then turned to him and said the same thing.. And walked out.. but not before a Black Guy sitting there looked up at me ..and nodded his head at me.. Like "You Go Girl"... lol.. I was so upset,, all I wanted to do was cry.. I'm sorry I have to depend on these things.. I'm sorry that I never got the education (College).. I'm just so sorry..... what else can I say.. At least I'm not out on the Streets.
I think I really do need to move from this downtown area.. Its really getting to me.
And it has been a very quiet day. Brian came by to help me figure out the game Pogo. I had always played it on IE.. and all of a sudden it stopped playing. I could not play the games I wanted.
So he came by this morning bringing me this... And Oh.. YUM.. it was very tasty. He made them with a Muffin Tin. And said the recipe told him to leave in the oven for 20 minutes.. Welllll.. Its a hit and miss when making stuff like this.. But,, I must say.. I loved it..
Jenny and I have just been relaxing.. got the apartment cleaned up this morning. went down to the Market and bought a few things for dinner this evening. I made this new meal called "Pizza Casserole". Here is a picture of it... Yes,, I ate some....lol.. Shoot.. I wonder how I can get what I'm talking about in my pictures to correspond with what I'm saying??? Anyone know?? OH.. Well.. its up at the top there..
The Pizza Casserole is OK.. I think if I make it again I will really make it taste like a Pizza..... hahaaa...
When I first started using blogger,, I have to say..it was a long time ago.. And I then forgot about it. But, then when we all know that Multiply was Closing their Doors.. Everyone surried around looking for another home to Blog in.
Some mentioned blogger, some mentioned "thoughts" and there were a few others that I can't remember. Since I already had a Gmail account I decided to go ahead and try Blogger. And was surprised to see I had already started a blog, but had forgotten about it.
Now today I finally figured out what was going on when I changed that secure setting for everyone to use. And I didn't want it. To verify you had to follow instructions that were hard to see. So I went to you tube and found what I was looking for. I then took that information and used it on the only blog I thought I had. But, found out it was STILL happening.
Found out right now that I had 2 blogs going, but the first one I started is really not being used. I now need to find out how to delete it. Another project .... lol...
