Easter Monday

It is Easter Monday. Not sure what that means. Passover is done on Tuesday. Not really religious anymore. I grew up in the Christian faith and we did the passion plays on Easter Sunday. Dad was a great King. He played the King at Easter and Christmas. He did very well. I miss him.
Today is the anniversary of his passing. 22 years ago, in 1989. He was a great man.
Work is difficult. We lost 2 employees unexpectedly in the last week and everyone has had to step up and do more. My boss readjusted the schedule this week so it is not as bad.
Food (and gas) costs so much, I keep running out of basics. My budget won't stretch as far. I am trying to prep, but I think I keep getting the wrong things. I need to double up on basics first, then get exotics. Someone said, need 1 buy 2, so you can get ahead. Also someone else said, get 5 veges, 5 fruits, 5 grains, 5 meats each week extra. I am going to have to try that. I get the sale flyers from Fry's and they have an online add where you can circle things and make a shopping list. I need to get the basics, veges, fruits, cheese, pasta etc so I have meals and W. doesn't have to go out to eat all the time by himself.
I also need to come home from work on time so I can make dinner for him.
He spends a lot of time alone, he naps too much. He goes outside to water the plants and spends much time talking with the neighbors.

Grandad Again

Grandad passed away Thursday morning, March 24, 2011. He just gave up because he could not take the pain and he was not allowed to go home when he wanted to. The funeral was nice, just a graveside service. Then dinner with the family.

Wayne is mad about the yard again. Someone said something that set him off again. We had another letter about Common Ground Plantings and the lady who fell. He says he is done with them and if he hears one more discouraging word, he will remove all the plantings and rocks.

I have almost gotten my 3 month list done, and have started buying items. I got a couple of storage containers for flour and sugar, but they are too small. I will have to store something else in them and get a bigger one for flour, sugar, powder and brown sugars.
