The temperature was not that warm today but at least it wasn't raining but the clouds were still significantly persistent but all that being equal I couldn't spend another day totally in the apartment. I needed to get out if nothing else to do some shopping so I can have some variation in my diet.I really needed some fresh fruit and some more juice of some kind. I know, I've been warned that juice will somehow affect my diabetes and are just poor fat on me cuz it's nothing but sugar. But I need something to encourage me to put down fluids better than what I've been doing. So my goal was to get some fruit and some fruit juice and at least a loaf of bread since the only working love I have is read from the food bank that I got last month at the food box day here at the apartment complex. The only trouble is that bread that they have at Food box is like super old I mean it was frozen solid when it was put in the food boxes probably the night before and there's just something about frozen bread that doesn't cut it with me. Perhaps frozen bread it reminds me too much of my childhood. That was something my mom would do after getting food for the dead bread store which is always right next to the bakery bring it home and stash it in the freezer.
At least the sun was out by the time I finally finished my arm bike ride for today 60 minutes. I went out and checked the weather and it felt cool but not cold to the point that I would not go out but I did come back in and get a jacket wrap around my neck and headed over to the market. It could have been a fast trip but it wasn't for some reason I spent an hour going up and down the aisles of the Market looking for the large bottles of juice that I knew were there. I had purchased one last week or so and I just couldn't find him and it was after I was getting frustrated but I finally did come across the large bottles of juice and I found some that were fairly low calorie. I hope somehow that has an impact on oh at risk these juices are as far as the diabetes stuff goes. This diabetes could really wreck my life. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to lift the heavy bottle of juice onto my lap but I figured it out. By the time I found the juice I was almost ready to leave. I had gotten hold of the loaf of bread, a bag of green grapes, hot dog buns and a loaf of Seven grain bread. There are a few other things in there too like couple of potatoes, baby carrots, a sack of celery not a stalker celery but celery pieces that have been cut off at the stock. I have found that if I buy a complete Celery Stock most of it goes to waste. So I get a few sticks of the celery at a reduced price and usually have more than enough to get me through the month. I used to sell a pretty much in the rice dish I make called Frank. I want to use it more but that'll take time. I had found a box that I'd use before when I went shopping that I brought food home for the market so I didn't have to ask for a box at the festival section which I usually do. I also had a bag of chips in there too. I was ready to check out but as I started unloading the box on my lap to check the groceries through I was informed that I'd have to pay cash because the machines that used the plastic weren't functioning and all they could do today was used cash and of course I didn't have nearly as much as I needed. I came home with the much reduced quantity of groceries. A loaf of bread, celery sticks, baby carrots hot dog buns and one or two other items all that was less than $7 that's all the change I had with me. It's all I needed I was happy…
