Laundry is almost done. So that means soon I will have to do the final onerous task

I seem to be having a crap couple of days, nothing like the kind of major stuff other people are dealing with, just the sort of stupid people are being stupid stuff. Except for the part where I was disconnected from the email server for most of the day today and didn't realize it until about 10 minutes ago. That was pretty much me being stupid.

I also feel like I'm seeing a lot of MRA type misogyny all over the place lately. Has something happened and we need to put the bitches back in their place?

I miss you too!! I need to make a plan to come to NC sometime this spring. Here, have some more hugs for good measure: {{{{{{{{amyth}}}}}}}}

We pay everything online, but not everything is autopay. Weirdly, for all that I am generally pretty lazy, paying bills on time has never been an issue for me, or at least not since my college days. I like paying bills because it's a quick and easy task to cross off my list. Though I may be singing a different tune when I get the bill for my surgery. I don't really want to know how much that's going to cost me.

What is this?

eating out or groceries? cuz the first is easy to curb, the second, kinda essential!

Groceries. We didn't eat out at all in December (except for buying lunch at work, but I always pay cash for that). Mainly I think it's a matter of just planning better so we don't do as many emergency runs in the middle of the week. And probably buying more in bulk.

My onerous task is attempting to finish this document that's been plaguing me and that I really need to do a good job on because it's the first real task for the new project I'm on. I haven't worked on it at all since I got home a couple of hours ago. Why so lazy, Self???

Eeee! YES YOU MUST!

And utilize coupons and sales! All that stuff is online these days, so you can make up your list with all discounted items before you ever leave the house. The SO saved 75 bucks on the grocery bill last run.

What is this?

Men's rights stuff. It's usually the, "women get to take all your stuff when they divorce you, plus we have to do everything for them and buy them stuff and they have all the pussy." type dudes.

Eeee! YES YOU MUST!

Wheee! We've got a few other trips that have to fall into place first, but I totally do want to come. I'll let you know when I know potential dates!

I'm afraid to track how much we spend on groceries. I mean, I don't think it's horrendous, but it could be a lot less. Part of it is that we buy local, organic, yadda yadda, as much as possible, which I'm not really willing to scale back on unless we really needed to, like if one of us lost our job. But we don't do as much planning as I'd like, and we don't buy much in bulk or use many coupons, and we definitely spend a lot at TJ's because the frozen meals are so easy to take for lunches.
