Yes, it is very hard to be without a car, especially in my neighborhood where I am near a walkable downtown area, but my bank branch left, buying groceries means being overcharged at the 7-11 and I don't want to live off Dunkin Donuts egg sandwiches for meals. They're fine for breakfast or lunch on occasion but not everyday. But the banks, supermarkets and shopping centers are in other parts of town. I'm going to place an order for supermarket home delivery later tonight. Hopefully I can get a delivery slot for tomorrow afternoon. It'll cost an extra $15 between the delivery fee and the tip for the driver. I don't even want to think about how much the Uber rides for my medical appointments will cost.

I buy all the groceries in the house and cook all the meals and am no longer feeding my sister at all. No meals, no snacks. She can buy her own food or eat at her friends houses. She's an extremely talented artist who has been selling her artwork online for years but cut back on her selling and marketing her business and is struggling financially as a result. My sister in Virginia and I both help her out with things and she treats us like garbage, insists we do nothing for her. She will do nothing around the house and is loathe to help with the yardwork. She acts like she's the 'victim' all the time.

She bought herself a jar of peanut butter and she'll eat spoonfuls of it while we're watching tv in the living room in the evenings as her 'dinner. I have no qualms about munching on a granola bar or some crackers as an evening snack right in front of her because it's her own stupid fault. She needs to deal with her emotional issues. She really needs to find a psychotherapist who takes her health insurance or sign up for low cost therapy through the program to train psychology students to counsel patients at the state university on the other side of town.

Last night it got down into the low 50s so I didn't turn the furnace on, but if it does go down into the 40s tonight I will put on the heat. Two more flowers opened on the hibiscus. In a few minutes I'll bring it back into the house for the night. I'll be glad when it's the weekend and the daytime highs goes back into the low 80s with overnight temps in the lower 60s.

I have my first crochet dishcloth finished and am in the middle of crocheting the second one in the shades of pink and white. I really like how they turn out. This pattern is very easy and once you get into the rhythm of it stitching the rounds passes by quickly.
