Bulk
Last night my primary goal was to get some bulk shopping done. I piled Elsa into the Tacoma to head to Costco and Trader Joe’s, in reverse order. Since I have become single Trader Joe’s has been my go to spot to load up on frozen meals that are ideal for one and can be prepared conventionally or in the microwave in most cases. They also are healthier than conventional big brand frozen meals you see in regular grocery stores. I walked out of there with two big paper bags stuffed with enough meals to last me a couple months probably.
I then hit Costco. I had been watching the clock to make sure I timed it well, getting there about 45 minutes before closing which greatly relieves the congestion that is normally found in the store pretty much any other time of the day. I grabbed my normal bulk items and was out of there in less than 30 minutes. By the time I got home and unpacked I was pushing 9pm. I spent the rest of my evening chilling.
Yesterday I got a reminder of why I am so lucky to be where I am right now. Despite all of the bullshit that has had to be climbed over and dealt with to reach this state of mind I am happy to not have to deal anymore with situations that do nothing but drain my energy and sabotage my trust. F that.
I have found myself very turned off by women that harvest male approval and adulation by the ton as well as the men that provide it, also known as simps. It’s a dynamic that leads to absolutely nothing substantial or real.
Last year I was doing a lot of talking about Christine and I in the blog. I thought I had turned the corner finally but instead wound up running into the weeds.
