I had a busy, but pleasant day in The Bay with Adoring Husband.

I had an extensive ‘to do’ list and both of us added to the list while we were there.

AH needed keys cut for work and he needed a new filter for his coffee machine.

I got to visit a lady’s boutique and bought 3 new tops. I’ve lost weight and my old clothes are too big (I always buy a size too big so now they’re REALLY big!). My new tops are size 10! That feels weird.

We went to Go Natural and bought a box of goodies including lemon balm, organic garlic paste, organic GF muesli for AH, chicken, spinach and pine nut sausages from Eumundi, ACV with the mother (not Braggs) and a few other things.

The butcher was our next stop … mostly for Harley’s bones and chicken necks (they didn’t have any chicken feet).

We stopped at Petbarn and got some treats, balls and a toy for Harley.

At Stocklands I renewed my lotto tickets and did a big grocery shop at the supermarket.

I did a huge fruit and vegetable shop at Farmgate.

Fresh seafood was last on the list

I was exhausted by the time we got home and it was only 1.30pm!

Tonight’s dinner was sweet potato chips, chicken thighs in onion and tomato gravy served with garden salad.

Now I need to sleep because meditation is early tomorrow.

Nite all.
