Welcome to a sleepy Thursday! I had a kitty on my chest when my alarm went off, and I did not want to get up.
But alas, money.
I got paid, and immediately 90% of it is gone. All will disappear once I put in the various food orders. Two are in so far, with the big one still to go. The stuff I ordered so far is just some basics--eggs, toilet paper, vanilla and lemons. Next up, meat and chickpeas to make curried chickpeas.
I'm hoping to get a call or email in the next day or so from the people I bought my (broken) fireplace from. They finally picked it up on Monday, so I'm hoping for a refund shortly. I bought it on an installment plan, so I've already paid over $200 on it. That would be very helpful this paycheck. I'd be able to get something other than chicken and pork for the next two weeks, which would be lovely. I could seriously go for a steak.
Didn't do a ton yesterday aside from work. I made dinner, but I went super easy and just threw chicken and carrots into the oven. Not sure what I'm doing tonight. It'll either be chicken or pork, or maybe some tandoori beef. We'll see. I'm currently light on sides/vegetables, so it might be chicken or beef with rice. Maybe mashed potatoes.
I hate it when the paycheck doesn't quite stretch enough to keep us eating healthy. I've gotten used to putting a side in. And it's not like we don't have a TON of rice. We're good on rice, but with the inflation on groceries, it's making it difficult. We're not going to starve--I have enough to get basics, just not anything extra. When I get paid in 2 weeks, I'll have a little extra money--enough to get some more stuff.
Despite that, things are okay. The rent is paid, the phone and internet are paid, the gas and electric is paid. It's all good. If the most I can bitch about is that I can't make sides, it's good.
Okay, time for me to go forth and get myself ready for work. Everyone have an amazing Thursday!
