In the thick of it, Didn’t think it through

After taking Elsa for her walk after work and giving her dinner I loaded her up in the Tacoma to do a Trader Joe’s run. Sure I could have put it off until the weekend but I got the itch to get it done. The store is now way on the other side of town for me. When you add that in with post work traffic I had a drive that took more than a half hour.

For me Trader Joe’s is a single man’s food nirvana. They have all of these easy to prepare frozen meals that fall into my pescatarian food parameters. I grabbed a bunch of items, enough to fill two of their oversized shopping bags. I should be set with dinner options for quite awhile.

Afterwards I made another less than spectacular decision to grab oil change supplies at the Super Walmart near I-75. This took me completely into the traffic quagmire. I bought my 0-20W oil and filter. The last oil change I opted to take it to the nearby Valvoline quick change shop. I was disgusted by what they charged, I think I drove out of there with a $130 bill. I bought the supplies for about $40.

When I got home I realized I had another issue. With the move I got rid of a lot of my oil change supplies, I have to see what I still have laying around. At the old house it wasn’t a big deal to have the waste oil container laying around. At my new place I prefer to not have that situation. I’ll figure it out, I always do.

Last year the post talked about a For Sale sign now being on my old house. I also was just about to embark on the resurgence of my volleyball playing days after a 12 year hiatus. Finally I talked about why I was sharing as much as I was on social media and was making changes to that as well. That last part was again another change made to appease others, which I have obviously reversed fully at this point.
