Finally Friday

I just received a $5 Staples rewards coupon, probably from buying DH's new computer there. I don't know what to get for $5! It does appear that rewards members get free shipping, so I could order something rather than having to go back to the store.

DD uses YouTubeTv. She just received an email she can share with friends, for a free 2 week trial. I think I'll do that. Might as well get a little extra stuff to watch for a couple of weeks. I never got to see the last few episodes of the Big Bang Theory. I have watched that for years, so I was bummed not to get to finish it out, as it was one of my favorite shows. She thinks the old episodes are available with the YouTubeTv. Plus Firestick now has the YouTubeTv app back.

It was my half work day today, so DH and I went into the city and picked up our Walmart grocery order. We also stopped in Target so I could return a sweatshirt I ordered online in the wrong size. Decided to pick up some TP and laundry detergent. It was buy 2 laundry detergent and get $5 Target gift card, so I bought 2.

I tried to increase my groceries to last more than 2 weeks. I planned out 30 days of dinners and made my list from that. Plus I wasn't quite sure how much freezer space I'd have for the extra stuff. But, it all fit in and some out in the tiny fridge/freezer in the shop. I don't know if I got enough of everything to last a month, but for sure 3 weeks. It'll probably take me a few tries to learn how to shop for a month.

It's a beautiful fall day. Such a pretty drive with all the trees turning colors, the blue sky, and snow still here and there in spot, especially up on the top of the hills/mountains.

I chatted with my mom. She seemed a bit frazzled. I guess the movers broke her tv or something so she had a tech guy there when I called. She called me back a bit later. She hasn't been able to find her phone charger. I'm not sure how she's lasted a week and a half with her battery, but I guess she has. I told her to just go to a Verizon store if she can't find it, they can sell her a new charger, I'm sure. She also said she knows it's been hectic with the move and that her BF seems to be getting upset with her and she knows she's starting to not remember stuff. (this is really the first she has admitted she is forgetting things) and she knows it's been rough on her BF the past week. I told her it will all calm down soon and get easier. My plan is to go over there in a couple weeks, but apparently those super prices I had seen were just offered like that day only and I didn't realize that. It's still not a bad price, if I just wait and go on Nov 1st and stay a few days. She said I can stay in her apartment and she will stay at her BF's.

She also mentioned maybe she should have thought more about moving out near me, so I'm glad she remembered we talked about that! I said, well it's still always an option we can look into. She said she wasn't sure about her health insurance, if she could use it out of state, so I am going to see what I can find out about that. She has insurance through my dad's retirement plan (Kaiser), plus medicare.
