Sunday Groceries and Low-key Day and Recycling

 Sunday, and I feel much better. Today, we have done nothing at all. I lay down and took a nap. We did go out for a bit while I bought  groceries. 

BSCB is buy one get one free. I got two huge packages, but they charged me half of each price. Weird. 

3 packages of Jimmy Dean sausage patties. Since I have bought these, Tommy has not wanted to stop at Hardee's once when we are going out early.

3 bananas because I have two at home. 

2 boxes Honey Nut Cheerios, large boxes. He bought the smaller size one day and paid 8 cents more per ounce. He said he did not see any larger boxes. 

I have a blueberry muffin mix that I may fill full of fresh blueberries. We are having BBQ chicken, slaw, and tomatoes for dinner, so the carb count is down for dinner. 

Today was clear and mostly sunny, some clouds. Next week is a lot less rainy than the last four weeks. I am tired of rain! 

One day, Tommy came in the house talking about a strange scent. It was basil and not strange at all to me. A few days later, I came to the front door and was unlocking it when I looked around for something rotting on the porch. Tommy said it was the garbage can. He refuses to tie up bags or bag something messy, just tossing it in. I told him the can would soon smell like a dumpster. So, it does. He did use the can of Lysol I left near the door for him to spray in the can. From what he said, he did spray it well. He has started tying up garbage bags and smaller bags now. He thinks I am too bossy until his way causes a problem! 

I have not seen many flies around the door and only one in the house this calendar year. If I do see any more, I will spray Clorox in the trash can. Flies hate Clorox. 

Other than going to two doctor appointments and going to check my mail, I have two things I want to accomplish. I cannot find a place to recycle plastic bottles. I need to figure out how to use the apps I had R put on my phone! 

Several weeks ago I was complaining to Tommy about this city not having a recycling bin for each home. I want to recycle his Pepsi cans and tuna cans and water bottles. There is no place close by I know of to take them. I can take plastic bags, foam containers, and paper to Publix.

I continued to talk about it. Finally, he yelled, "That is what I pay taxes for--to take off all that stuff."  Oh well! I continue my search for recycling places. I have three garbage bags of water bottles, and soon neither of us will want them in the way. Okay, just now, he told me does get a separate bill for sanitation aka garbage. 

We are watching History of Sitcoms on CNN. Tonight is about race. Have you watched any of the History of Sitcoms episodes? 

Apps Added and More

 I met my friend, R, and she immediately said, "Here, let me show you." That was the right thing to  do--teach me. But, I put a stop to that. First of all, It is very hard when both people try to see a phone screen; second, I was mentally exhausted just thinking about the chore ahead; third, moving into position to see was really rough on my back! 

We were sitting in Barnes and Nobles near a window and the window and overhead light reflections on the phone. Mentally and physically exhausted because Tommy ate nothing but carbs and I had been afraid of his driving all the way there, maybe 20 miles. I think the chairs were uncomfortable on purpose so people would eat and leave. 

Water was my choice; Tommy left with coffee; I think Rachel got iced tea to go. Tommy had cereal and milk for breakfast and cheese and bread before we left. I ate two scrambled eggs with cheese and a glass of milk. I had planned to meet R at noon, but to get something else into him, we stopped and got a $1 burger with meat, cheese, and bacon. No veggies for us. I don't know what else to do. Fast food is the only thing he will eat when "full." Not even the pb crackers entices him sometimes. 

The most important I did was relegate a small notebook to computer and phone info, including all passwords. It is a small and very colorful day planner from 2019. Now, I have all the apps and passwords, model of my phone,  passwords and other pertinent information. I do have some of this information written in too many different places!

I put onto my Android: 

Ibotta

Fetch

Shopkick

Swagbucks

Rakuten

I have to get Venmo, which she could not find. I have not tried, yet. 

She tried to find a case for my phone, but she could not find one. I had my laptop there, but she hates the pad and I forgot my portable mouse at home. I will try again to find a case since I now have the model of my phone in the book instead on a scrap of paper where the AT&T person wrote it and gave it to me. 

I also have a new email address which is rather stressful for me...lol. It will not replace my present addresses. 

Oh, R warned me all bloggers will make money selling my information, the reason they want me to read and comment. Well, I must be doing something wrong since I have never made a red cent off any of you! Is this something people actually do? She warned me how bloggers were spreading all my personal information all over the internet and to companies, that my email would blow up with people trying to sell me stuff. Well, that happens, anyway. 

Security is of paramount interest to her. Yet, she still uses the internet.

And, no, I am not giving up my flip phone! The only reason I have the Android is to use for stores and to look up a number or address while we are in the car. Also, it can be used for a hotspot for my laptop. Now, I must figure out how to do that.  The phone only cost me $50. 

That was my day. After three hours of sleep and 2.5 hours with her, I came home and slept from 3:30 until 9 pm. 

Right now, I need to get out my phone and try to put a receipt into one of these programs. So, slugmama, got any clues as to how these work other than just trying. Clues? Tips? Which is best? Most useful?

Do you use your phone for these programs/apps?
