We shopped at Costco today. Yay? I have a sad feeling that may be the highlight of my weekend.
I'm in low spirits lately. I'm deeply dissatisfied with my job, to the point that I've told my boss I am likely to quit if things don't improve. Just when I started to feel good about exercising control over that situation Hawk got bad news that her job is going away soon. I had been looking forward to playing D&D on Friday, but we had to cancel at the last minute. Plus, all this week I've been sick, and all this afternoon (and much of the past week) it's been raining. Yeah, it's been a shit week.
Shopping at Costco felt like a bit of a treat (as lame as that is) partly because we've held off shopping there for so long. Aside from our visit to a Costco in Australia— which was really sightseeing and cultural exploration as we didn't buy or intend to buy anything— our last Costco trip was nearly two months ago. Through most of December and all of January we held off on shopping Costco because we already have too much stuff. I wanted us to eat through the stuff we've got in the fridge, freezer, and pantry before buying more!
Today we decided the larder was low enough. It was time for another Costco run! Replenishing a bunch of staples and trying a few new things we racked up a bill of over $300. That was more than plenty to use up the annual rebate check we received in December. And our freezer is once again full. There were more things we considered buying today but decided against as there'd be no place to put them.
