day two: expresso shot the sheriff

Woke up at usual time (5am) and, because I am an addict, ordered five package opening knives/scissor thingies from Home Depot because they are discounted to $1 each.  Got email cancellation for three units but pickup notice for remaining two.  Blogged about yesterday - day one of no work (how meta of me - blogging about blogging).  Made plain oatmeal - it's what I eat about four days a week now for breakfast. Trust me - oatmeal does help lower cholesterol, but you don't want to eat those sweetened loaded oatmeals every morning.  Then I showered and pick up LL to go shopping at Grocery Outlet.  It was my first trip there, and I think I found my new go-to store.  I bought Tarte Asian Yogurt for $.50, Quaker's Real Medleys oatmeal cups for $.33, cantaloupes for $.50, and a pork loin for $3.  And they had this Bob Marley bottled coffee for $.50 - it's called One Drop.  I kept thinking of other Marley inspired coffee names - like No Coffee No Cry, Expresso Shot The Sheriff, and Stir It Up (no change necessary - I guess).  After Grocery Outlet, went to Costco for $1.50 hot dog lunch and then off to Home Depot to pick up my items.  The knives/scissors looked like they were returns.  The packagings were barely intact, and the items were used and dirty.  But I decided to keep them anyways, because they were only a buck each.  I came home and spent a few hours in the afternoon in the yard pruning the lemon tree.  It was due for a good trimming.  I started off kinda careful but after a little while just went for it.  After dinner, I watched Survivor, The Chew (recorded from earlier in the day), Rebel Wilson's Super Fun Night (I like it - funny enough and she and her gang are kinda endearing), and Top Chef.  And that was it - day two done.  Tomorrow is another day in testing my self control.
