Finally, He Changed His Mind

 "That is the way the law was written." That is what Tommy told me Medicare told him. I say, "Laws can be changed." He finally changed all his prescriptions from Walmart to Walgreen's. So, he has paid $105. extra for his meds at Walmart.  Yesterday, he transferred all his prescriptions (4) to Walgreen's. Including the insulin, he has 5. He says there is nothing he can do. Yes, laws can be changed. 

He did not get his Wags points, or whatever they are called with his transaction today. She was asked to do so, and she said she did. So, another call to CS in the morning. 

I suppose I will have to run down my own meds as pharmacy does not have Victoza for third day in a row. Tomorrow is the last of the prescription. Why can they not get a med with a three-day notice?

We did our grocery ad run and a little shopping.  At Giant Foods potatoes were 5 lbs for $3.99. He got a senior discount of $.20, so yay. We stopped at the Farmer's Market-- $5 box squash, and a strawberry lemonade. At Publix, he bought a half-gallon of a2 milk, 2 Life Cereal bogo, Carrots-- 2 1-lb. bags @ $0.99 each, 3 bananas. 

White grapes, mushrooms, and LED bulbs were on the list, all on sale. 

We did not buy cooking bags which we both knew we needed. That is what we get for leaving the list home. I can cook the pork loin naked in the pan, but he said that I said I was going to cook spaghetti. So, I am working on that. 

The people next door still allow several dogs to bark continuously. These women are so annoying. One woman berates one of the little boys all the time! She is so loud and mean. 

This next does not annoy me, but somehow the yard was mowed except for half the front yard. This was three days ago. Then, someone came on a riding lawnmower and mowed the whole yard, including all that had been mowed. The whole yard was then brown because the grass was skinned off to dirt and root. It all looked parched. I felt sorry for the grass. Of course, with our copious rainfall, it finally greened up today. People tell me the grass does not have to be cut so soon if it is cut to the ground. I had my St. Augustine grass mowed 4" high. 

It was nice out today, and Tommy went out to water the flowers. As soon as he came in, it rained, a hard, long rain. The heat and humidity are back, suffocating to me. 

More decluttering occurred, not much. One item gone is considered decluttering. I just hope to see the end of clutter eventually! 

Was there anything good in your Wednesday ads? At what height do you mow or have your yard mowed?

Better News on the Egg Front

 The new Aldi ad has butter for $1.97/lb. I was hoping for this development! Wednesday, Tommy can go in and get some. I will have him check out the eggs, too. They are not on an ad, but maybe they are simply much cheaper. Plus, Anne confirmed the butter price and said eggs were $1.99. Anything but $6/18 eggs.

Tommy needed to get the form for filling out his taxes from the library. Hueytown library said they never got the forms, so he called Bessemer library and we drove there. Bessemer is very close, right up against Hueytown. He has been talking about getting the form and booklet for weeks. It was time. I suppose I know what he will be doing furiously for the next couple of days. 

The neighbor who mowed Tommy's yard and then paid for someone to mow his yard and Tommy's has moved. So, another neighbor mowed the yard today. He barely got in corners and did no weed eating, so I suppose this is the way it will be. I hate it! 

Okay, I must take a nap and go out again. 

Nothing Happening Sunday

This is just a warm summer Sunday--hot, still, quiet. The only thing I have done is sleep late, hang up some of the wet clothes I need to hang inside. 

The guy next door is mowing our lawn, so I ran outside and moved the table and chair onto the sidewalk to help a bit. The last time, he moved it where it is still sitting on the grass, but I could not get into the car. That leaves him a chair and table to move in the backyard so he can mow.  

He is the father of the graduate to whom we gave the gift bag. The poor kid stepped into a hole one of the three dogs dug in the backyard, so I am not sure how she works her Dollar General job. Her knee is wrapped. 

For dinner we are having the last of the leftover carrots and potatoes I baked along with a piece of the chicken baked at another time. I may have a navel orange afterwards.

Maybe I will have some Kozy Shack tapioca pudding. Sluggy and people on her blog were talking about it, and I am weak. Maybe I should have gotten the rice pudding. I searched for it in the refrigerator since Tommy took my milk and Kozy Shack to the kitchen. I wanted the KS to sit in the refrigerator for a while and get good and cold. 

Over an hour later I found Kozy Shack on the counter because he didn't think I wanted it in the refrigerator. grrr I wish there had been chocolate. I am not crazy about it, but I would buy chocolate at least once. 

I hear the guy coming back with the weedeater or leaving the backyard, not sure which. 

My thumb is doing fine. See, I told you nothing is happening here.

What was/is happening at your house today?
