I went grocery shopping with my son yesterday.

I bought food I might actually eat.

I dragged myself out into public when it was the very last thing I wanted to do.

I cried a few times in the store and I survived.

I was then rewarded by a trip to the dispensary by my BF who picked me up at WalMart.

By the way, those insurance companies who advertise grocery benefits for Medicare Advantage insurance holders?

They “allow” you to buy groceries at WalMart and Aldi. No sales, no saving extra money, and the worst selection and quality of products in the US.
A huge FUCK YOU to Nations Benefits for forcing me to support the worst retail chain in the US; WalMart.

After spending time with my BF and my grandson and medicating I was finally able to relax and stop crying. Finally didn’t feel like I was going to jump out of my skin. (Myoclonic jerks caused by a damaged spinal cord are really unpleasant and medical marijuana helps!)

Finally I was able to function normally, at least for me.

Try to remember some people are fragile right now and extra care MUST be given, or we will form cracks and maybe break.

In case anyone sincerely wonders why grocery prices are so high in the US:

Corporate Greed

WalMart’s RECORD profits while average citizens are struggling just to feed their families and keep the heat on..

One point sixty nine billion dollars in revenue in the third quarter alone.

$1,600,000,000 in ONE QUARTER of the year.

Aure Free Press has shared an article from Yahoo finance.

I think people forgot how bad it was under djt or they just plain didn’t know.

I’d guess some of both.

I’m so happy!

I just called and made my travel arrangements for next week.

Al x 2, the grocery store and our daughter’s house on her day off.

They installed new batteries on my scooter this morning!

Woo hoo!

Off and running again!

I have transport!

I’m concentrating on my mental wellness today.

Do you have ANY idea of the number of your posts I’ve just had to keep on scrolling by?

I’m apologetic about not reading your interesting sounding but definitely not urban fantasy based posts.
