Yesterday ended up not so good with my blood pressure really spiking. I didn’t feel great but knew it was dex. I did take an extra lisinopril and within the hour it dropped to almost normal. And I felt better too. This morning it was 127/ 90 and that was without any lisinoprol so all good. It was a tough day though.

Today my face is red still but that’s all except maybe a little jittery from dex.

It’s cloudy and grey again which is also a little depressing after a while. But next week looks sunny and we have a few outings planned.

Frugal-wise, Costco went well and came in at $279. But $79 was nonfood like toothpaste and toilet paper and B bought his Sierra Pale ale and 2 bottles of Napa wines. So just groceries came in at @ $150. not too bad. My trip to Trader Joe’s came in at $100. Honestly, without Costco, TJ’s and, Winco we’d be screwed at other stores. I haven’t shopped in Safeway in ages. Today though I’m going down to our Holiday market for some buttermilk, cream, Earth Balance and maybe some deli ham. The store’s free coupon this month is some kind of burger so I don’t want to miss the freebie unless it’s all sold out.

Sunday is Easter but since we don’t celebrate, it’ll just be a normal do what ever day. I plan to go to the gym. I also plan on making Southern Fried Tofu and potato salad.

Frugal wins; we didn’t go out for coffee after my appt.

No extra spending on things

Our electric bill came in lower although still high in general. PGE’s rates are really crazy here in California.

No eating out this week.
