My problem with groceries is twofold. One, things are rarely sold in amounts for a single person/meal (and when they are it's expensive!) and two, I'm not usually home lOng enough to eat leftovers. So stuff goes to waste. I budget $150 a month for groceries--but a lot of that is ready to eat or frozen. I budget more for eating out--and my employer pays for a lot of meals!

I have that problem, too, meara. I also live in a food desert and take public transportation.
I spend about $60/week for one person and one cat-- and I do end up having stuff go bad before I can cook it. I am also never home.

Hey all. I had Lulu put to sleep this morning. She declined sharply over the weekend. I know it was the right thing to do, but I just can't believe she's not here in the apartment anymore. My friend Jim insisted on being there with me the whole time, because he was there the day I picked her up from the animal shelter in 1998, and they have been BFFs ever since.
My vet's office was marvelous. I can't say enough good things about them.
I posted a bunch of pictures of Lulu on Facebook just now, and I realized there's one of Casper hugging her, when she was just a tiny thing. Classic.
I'm taking the rest of the day off work, because I can.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm so sorry, Amyth.

Aw, I'm so sorry, amyth. That's so hard. She was so lucky to have you.

Oh, amyth, I'm so sorry. I am glad that you had your friend (and Lulu's) there with you.

Oh, I remember that! It was adorable. Wasn't that the same night she stole food from Casper's hand?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
{{{{amyth}}}} Lulu was a fantastic dog and a great partner in crime. I can't imagine your place without her - and I know it's a hundred times harder for you.
