So ..... I'm Sewing!!

Oh to be able to sleep like this puppy!  No worries about insurance or plumbing, only visions of Beggin Strips dancing in his head.  That's his favorite treat, and believe me, if he doesn't get it in the first 15 minutes of being awake, I'm in for a scolding with barks that will pierce your ears.

Later, while I'm playing with my phone working brain games to stay sharp enough not to sew my shirt to the quilt, he crashes like this.  Do NOT touch him or move much because you will get the growl of a 125 pound tiger giving you what for.  He's entertaining, I can say that!! 

While visions of tacos floated through my head (notice the REAL cheese on this one, not the gooey orange  liquid stuff they call cheese), I contemplated my insurance over and over.  Maybe Doug can offer a little help if he gets a chance to read this.  

I called State Farm and said to insure my house.  Gave them my credit card number since the old insurance expired on 2/13.  The charge went through my bank, I checked, but I have nothing ... not even an email that says I have insurance.  I know they will send something in the mail, but I probably won't get it for two months.  Sooooooooo ... do I trust them and cancel the "old" policy?  Truly, it's keeping me awake at night.  Yes I called and explained my dilemma, but still have not received anything.  Don't you just LOVE insurance companies???

In the interest of distracting myself, I made a quick trip to Safeway, jut a couple miles away.  It's nice to live out in the desert, yet have a grocery store close at hand.  Here's my tip of the day.  If there's one available, shop Safeway.  Download their App, sign up and take advantage of their specials and deals.  

Here's what I got on this day:  $7.00 off any beef product (I got a $25.00 roast, only $13.00 if you are a member on the app, minus the $7.00).  $6.00 isn't bad for a 4 pound roast.

Next up, I had points I was going to lose ... they even told me ... so I got a roasted chicken for FREE.

Add to that, a free 10 pound bag of potatoes for having the app.  What a haul!!  PLUS you get discount gas points you can use when filling up.  All that sure adds up, even though some of Safeway's prices are a little higher.  Their fruits and vegetables are also really good, at least here.  Sometimes I get free eggs, sometimes bread ... you just have to check the app every time you go for groceries.

In the meantime, I kept sewing and sewing, poking holes in my fingers every so often just to be sure I was awake.

Big Momma stopped by for a drink, as did several others.  The really skittish one apparently sees the infra red lights on the camera because he walked around the long way and didn't stop.

I'm holding my breath this morning when I retrieve the camera.  I dropped it yesterday, saying lots of bad words.  I'm hoping it still works.  

We are down to 30 degrees again this morning, with a high of 64.  So much for going to the warm desert in the winter.  I was thinking I might wander down to a lower elevation to thaw out, but fuel has reached a crazy $3.86 a gallon ... in ARIZONA!!  I think that's unheard of.  It may be enough to keep me at home for a while longer.
