Dribs and Mostly Drabs

April 14th, 2020 at 04:09 pm

Yes, it's been a strange time here, hasn't it? I have little financial news as we've done little spending.

Sunday night I ordered a few things, about a dozen I think, from Target.com. It was mostly fill-in groceries, pet food, and some toiletries. The Easter ham will be on the agenda for quite some time. What's that joke from Dorothy Parker: "Eternity is two people and a ham." There's three of us, so maybe we can outwit eternity.

We also have colored hard-boiled eggs to use up so I foresee a CSA spinach, ham and egg salad. And a million other things with that ham.

In earning news, there is little. I continue to push away at SB, mostly running videos as I e-mail students and grade papers. I like their new $10 Paypal cash out. My very bored DD is also running SB. But DH and I continue to work and continue to get paid.

And although the mail is quarantined in a corner of the entryway, it looks like our auto insurance rebates have arrived. I wish I was kidding when I say I'm really looking forward to a visit to the drive-up bank.

It's been so cold that I didn't walk yesterday. It does make me restless without the walk.

I ordered a few extra groceries from Target to bring to the drive through food collection at church. It sure hurts the heart to see those food donation lines.

    Dorothy Parker was exactly right on two people and a ham. I had never heard of that; what a clever statement as well as a true one. We bought the smallest ham we could find and we are starting meal number three with it tonight: ham and beans.

    I think we will appreciate all the little things like drive thru bank trips as well as when we can actually go and do things.

    Thanks for the tip on the new Paypal payout. I'm barely doing anything with it. I've started to think that running videos and clicking on things is only to help search engines elevate those ads and stories...have you seen some of those stories? It's just not sitting right with me, so I may just make another 100SB and cash out.

    Good luck using that food up. Eggs aren't plentiful here - I guess they're a common stock-up item - so we didn't do any egg coloring this year.

    CCF: I will admit I never watch the darn videos. I mute them and advance them. Are they awful? Ugh.
