Looking Back: 3/2/2020
- Check out the Mercado on South Federal. The Lowe’s Mercado on South Federal blew my mind. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s so clean on the inside. The produce and spice selection is fantastic. I ended up finding black beans for $0.89/lb, half the price of what’s in the white-centered grocery stores. This place will definitely be on my list going forward.
- Call about the energy audit on the rental property. I called and left a message, so hopefully they’ll get back to me today.
- Pupusas with a friend for dinner! – Well, the pupusa place turned out to be closed on Monday, but we still got together at the Mac N’ Cheesary. Gluten-free Mac and drink for $16 including tip, yes please! They let us stay for three hours, just catching up on life, the universe and everything.
- BONUS – Vanity purchased for the rental. I checked out the Wheat Ridge Habitat for Humanity Restore for the first time. I bought a beautiful bathroom vanity top and sink from the Hays Restore during my last Hays trip. It needed a 36″ base, which I thought was common. It is common, but they are expensive. It was going to be $215 for the cheapest Home Depot version. So, I started checking out the Restores. Well, I hit the jackpot! I found a 36″ vanity base in good condition for $75 – AND I got 10% off for joining the loyalty program. Now I just have to figure out how to schlep it to Kansas!
Looking Forward: 3/3/2020
- Catch up on the March Mins Game. I love the 30 day #MinsGame from The Minamilists. Basically, on the first day of the month, you get rid of one thing, on Day 2, two things, and on and on until you’re getting rid of 30 things at the end of the month. I like to focus on one room in my house at a time. Right now it’s my office. It’s got a serious case of post-holiday homeless items, and it’s ripe for the Mins Game.
- Look at my resume. I’m starting to feel some compulsion to apply for jobs. Several are coming through my network, and it’s time to get things started. We’ll see if I have a panic attack or not.
- Make Chicken Enchiladas and freeze them. I want to try this Nightshade Free Enchilada Sauce Recipe, although I think I’m going to make a batch that includes nightshades as well for my purposes.
