Co-op visit #2, a day late, and a dollar short

I meant to get around to posting about my co-op thing yesterday, but I had a bad headache in the evening and I went to bed early and forgot all about it. I am going to have to guess a little bit on a the exact numbers of a few things. Some were in the basket and then some more were in the extras bag and I am not positive how many were in each.

In my basket:
1 head of cabbage
1 bunch of broccoli
1 bunch of bananas
6 sweet potatoes
4 pears
4 reddish apples
4 oranges
1 lb. carrots
1 pint strawberries
1 head hydroponic lettuce, green, curly, loose-leafed
1 avocado
3 tomatoes

In my extras bag:
2 grapefruit
2 bunches bananas
4 reddish apples
1 bag organic yellowish apples (maybe 10 apples?)
1 head romaine lettuce
2 pears
1 lb carrots
1 lb cranberries
2 tomatoes
4 sweet potatoes

Since I worked twice this week, I also got a $10 credit for the little market they have set up there now. After baskets are picked-up or delivered, the warehouse is open for several hours for people to stop by and purchase produce that is extra from the baskets or special stuff they bought that wasn’t enough to divide into baskets or stuff that local growers have brought in to earn themselves a little money. Anyway, I bought:

1 bag of grapes
1 container of cherries
1 pint blueberries

I can’t remember the amount of the cherries and I am too lazy to go look before finishing this entry. The cherries and grapes were $3 each, the blueberries were $2.50 per half-pint. So, I had a $10 credit and $11 worth of stuff. And no cash. My carpool friend fronted me a dollar of her $10 credit. I felt silly.

I didn’t manage to do any exercise the rest of the week. I had my 3 days (Fri, Sat, Sun) on the gazelle, and then my 2 days at co-op. I am so lazy and such a procrastinator. Sometimes, I am surprised I get anything done at all. Sometimes, I don’t get anything done at all! I did have weight watchers this morning. I have lost a little over a pound since last week. I am flat on at 10 pounds lost. Just a drop in the bucket. So far still to go!

It is already 4pm and I haven’t started that Spartacus book yet. Plus, none of you are interested in reading it. I’ll most likely thrash it out this weekend. I am open to suggestions for the next book if anyone wants to read along. I feel foolish doing a book challenge alone. I mean, on the challenge site, there are about 50 other people doing it. But, I don’t know any of them.

I need to post this weekend about my middle child. My small son who had a lot of public school problems in 4th grade and is currently having those problems renewed. I met with a counsellor today who is going to start some talk therapy with him next week. I am too stressed from that appointment to actually talk about it right now. Deciding there is something not quite right with my child and acknowledging that I can not make it better and then seeking help for him, those are all big scary steps.

AND I signed up for a class this semester. Geez. I am so behind on blogging. I will blog again tomorrow to try to make-up the lag without overwhelming you all in one post.
