Saturday evening post

 The effects of the recent fever and cold that I've been experiencing continue. I feel weak and I still am somewhat symptomatic. I have a runny nose and a bit of a cough but the wheeze is way gone and I can sleep a lot better thank goodness. With that in mind I was really hoping that today I would be able to get out and do a little rolling around maybe you run to the market. I did however first off after getting dressed and I meager breakfast I trooped across the street to the coffee shop and got a large coffee and hung out there for a few minutes before returning home. I really wish I could have been more productive but I essentially caved in and watched a movie picked up a little bit but not very much then spent the afternoon watching movies as well. It's pretty much a Netflix day. I also caved in and use the order by phone thing from the market I got four bottles of vegetable juice which had told me pretty well for a couple of days. I'm almost out of the apple juice that I opened yesterday and I should be out but I haven't been drinking like I should. The charge for the home shopping option today was not too bad I believe I have no problem absorbing a couple bucks that was the cost for the shopping Plus I gave the smallest tip I was able to which was a dollar on the internet page that the app lives on. I keep saying I'm not going to overuse this system and so far I think I've been able to be okay but it's certainly a slippery slope especially when you need something from the market. In fact for dinner I really caved in. I've got supplies to make a really good dinner if I wanted to but I just didn't have the energy or the well and open the can of Dinty Moore Stew which I counted entirely as my dinner. I know I've got a whole box of Saltines around here somewhere but could not find that when I needed them for the stew so I just used most left of a stack of Ritz crackers which went well with the stew. The last couple days I've been haunted by an internet commercial for someone says they will clean my apartment for $19 or something like that, something ridiculously low, which I know is a come on and I should stay away from it but now I've been swayed so much that I'm almost willing to give them a call and maybe I will on Monday just to have them come out and see what they'll do for $19 who knows babysit something up. My girl Gloria just as having a hard time getting enough time in her life to come over and clean up a little bit. I figure if that's cleaning outfit could do one room for $19 or whatever they do it would be money well spent and maybe keep me going until Glory gets back or until I can get back into the regular day today upkeep. Even even at my best I don't do a really great job but if something's clean I can usually maintain of the level of cleanliness for a while. And in the long run what's better spend your money on? For example today on the way to the coffee shop I stopped at this little barbershop that's opened up on the same block as my coffee shop. I stopped in there before I know last summer and nothing went that I thought well maybe again this time it'll be more economical but when I inquired of the price of a haircut the guy told me 35 bucks unfortunately. I suppose I could do it but I just can't justify $35 for as much hair as I've got. I may have to return to the salon by the market where I shop who cut my hair last for $20! I really thought that was high. I could do the $20 again, I don't want to but until I can get a better offer I may have to..
