July Grocery Shopping Part 1

Woke up fairly early, this morning, and did some office work before leaving for my radiation appointment.  I had sent an email to my supervisor, earlier, updating her on the status of my projects and letting her know I was nearing the end of the current project and was ready for my next assignment.  So, today, she responded to my email and assigned me my next project.  I am to finish the current project first and then, work on the new project. 

Got to the radiation appointment in good time, but they were running late.  I didn't mind.  I try to get to my appointments a bit early, but I am prepared to wait.  The longer wait meant I had enough time to read through my prayer book before I was called in.  My daughter came to the appointment with me and I had wanted to ask the technician if daughter could come in to the room to see the radiation machine, etc., but, because they were running late, I thought it was better not to ask and delay them further.  But, much to my delight, the technician asked me if my daughter would like to come in and see the set up!  She showed my daughter around, explained the process to her, and allowed her to watch the monitors from their station when I was being radiated.  I thought that was so very nice of her (the technician) to do so.  My treatment went well; so far, I haven't felt any side effects.

After I came home, I spent the rest of the afternoon doing office work.  Daughter, too, did her office work and attended a conference call.  Afterwards, I took a short nap! 

Later in the evening, daughter and I did a bit of grocery shopping:

July 7 Groceries

2 containers of juice, @ $2 = $4.00
2 cans tuna, @$.69 = $1.38
1 cantaloupe, $.25/lb = $.82
Grapes, $.99/lb = $2.47
Bananas, $.59/lb = $.89
1 cucumber = $.50
Plums, $.99/lb = $.70
Total = $10.76

On Tuesday, I had bought a container of half & half for $1.49, so total spent on groceries so far in July = $12.25

Chicken leg quarters are on sale for $.49/lb. this week at a different grocery store.  Daughter and I will go there, tomorrow evening, to buy some.  Enough for her to cook and take back with her. 

Today's decluttering:

July 7 Decluttering

3 books
2 eyeglass cases
1 pair of glasses
1 bag of buttons
= 7 random items

And we have another verse to my decluttering song:

On the seventh day of July, Bless did declutter
Seven random items (etc., etc., etc.)

I received the shipment of aloe vera gel that my cousin had ordered for me.  I called and told her that I received them and thanked her again.   I haven't needed to use it yet, but if and when I do, I'll have plenty of gel as cousin ordered two containers with a total of 30 fl. oz. of it!

Today, I am grateful for:

- Another good day of radiation treatment
- A considerate and kind clinic technician
- My cousin who has been there for me from the start
- Being able to work from home
- An afternoon nap

It has been a good day, all things considered.  Hope you had a good day, too.  What have you planned for Friday?
