More Plants, More Plants, I Say!
Okay, so after waking up at 4am today and not being able to get back to sleep (insomnia is great for writing btw), at 11am, Mom and I headed out to do my whole monthly shop... thing. It's always a to do, and today I was grouchy and took it out on Mom a couple times and I know it. I really need to apologize to her for it later.
Right, so, the first place we went was the bank so I could pull my rent and the money I owed Mom. Then we went to Home Depot so I could get some more paint sticks (for using for backgrounds in merch pics for Etsy) and while I was there I raided their houseplants department, which had clearly been restocked. Home Depot, weirdly, is often the best place in town to get houseplants. And inexpensive, too. .__.;; So I got two new philodendron vines for planting in the axolotl aquarium! I named the regular one "Dean" and the super pretty variegated one "Castiel", to go with my pothos, Sam. <3
Then we went to Costco where I grabbed muscle relaxants (I always need muscle relaxants because of my back) and B12, and... MORE PROTEIN POWDER. It was still on sale from the last time we were in, and it's such a good sale I couldn't help myself. Now I have 8 months worth of protein powder, so I'm good for a WHILE. XD;;
Umm... then came Walmart and shopping for the cats, mostly, though I also grabbed some protein bars for myself. It is SO HARD to find protein bars that 1) aren't chocolate, and 2) don't have PEANUTS in them, oh my God. The two kinds that I got were literally the only two flavours in the only brand that I could eat without DYING. So frustrating.
After Walmart was Shoppers for coke, where I got some nifty Marvel cards because I spent $49.66 (two packs because they were giving out one pack for every $25 spent.) Technically I didn't qualify for TWO packs, but the cashier gave the second pack to me anyway haha. They're just going in my scrapbook anyway, but I'm still pleased to have them.
Finally, we went to the Dollarama so I could get some terracotta pots for the axolotl aquarium, some potting soil for Itsy's terrarium, and some mini chocolate bars for me. I also found a couple of things to add to Poe's parcel, just little things that I think they'll like. I'm hoping to get that parcel mailed off soon, but I'm not sure HOW soon? It depends on how much money I have left in my bank account after I send my part of the Costco money to Mom. I might have to wait until the Trillium benefit comes through on the 10th of September.
...I'm a little worried about Poe right now. They haven't emailed me in a few days now, and I know they were doing poorly. I just really hope they're doing alright. :<
Anyway. Now we're home and I have to put everything away but first I think I need to lay down for a nap. My entire body hurts and I'm SO tired. Mom is upset with me because I can't take the cat litter downstairs myself, but because of my back and knees it's impossible. But why can't I switch to the flushable pine litter?? Basically because Juna refuses to use it. I tried switching to the pine litter at my last apartment and it caused a HUGE to do because Juna just started going to the bathroom on the floor rather than use the pine litter. I can't switch to the pine stuff until he's gone, so for probably another couple of years. :|
But yeah. Long day.
Post-Nap-And-Dinner-EDIT: It is going to cost me $118 plus change (approximately) to mail Poe's TINY LITTLE PARCEL JFC.
