I'm sorry you are having such a hard time of late and I hope the trip lifts your spirits.
Oh it will. Just the thought of going back to the UK is already lifting my spirit.

The ones near me are pretty useless. I have bought some paper books so I might try to resell them when I've finished with them.
My husband got a £250 Amazon giftcard from his work and we ended up spending most of it on stuff for my cats and dogs.
I see. I didn't realise that the UK libraries were not as good as the one that I go to in California.
Good for you - the fur babies will be happy and spoilt.
I bought about 11.5 pounds of dry green lentils and about 8 pounds of dry green split peas at the food co-op last night. I needed to stock up on quick-cooking legumes. Today I invented split pea and potato soup... although I think carrots would have been more traditional than potatoes, as well as more colorful.

Split pea and potato soup is already a thing.
This reminds me of something that I often wonder about ; can recipes still be invented ?
I ordered a dog crate for when my dog has surgery. It was on offer so I saved £15.
I'm not surprised that split peas and potatoes are already cooked in soups together, because unlike some of my other culinary inspirations, this one is quite tasty! I'd just never come across it before. I'll have to google recipes and see how close mine came, and get ideas to make it even better.
My total quick-cooking-legume food bill came to about $37, but it was a lot of food and will last me a long time. I'm keeping it all in my refrigerator so the Indian Meal Moths don't find them and have a party.

Found some cute shirts at a local second hand store Sunday. I really needed some new clothes!

Two bags of dry pinto beans, one large white onion, one head of lettuce, three jalapenos (that I roasted earlier), a six-pack of Heineken.... and a partridge in a pear tree.

Two bags of Meijer no-salt-added kettle-cooked potato chips, two Roma tomatoes, a large red bell pepper, a large avocado, a large onion, & two cans of Kunar's no-salt garbonzos.... just a quick trip, really wanna make falafel again soon (and a lot of it!), so I wanted to be set up for that at least.
Ohhh, crapola.... forgot the damn cumin.
LOL

My goodies from the UK have arrived. The man didn't manage to buy everything on my list. I will pick them up tomorrow.
I have just picked up my haul of goodies from the English café in town.
^I miss milk chocolate.
£70 for a vet visit for my older cat. The vet I like is leaving at the end of the month.
I was going to buy my dog a new collar, but I remembered she had an old one hanging up in the cupboard.

So guess what? I found my iPod! It's ooooold. It's a blue Nano 2nd generation iPod and I haven't used it in years. I know it has music on it. It looks like it's still in usable condition. Unfortunately there's no way to charge it. I'm sure I had a charge cable for it at one point, but I don't know where it went. So I did a search and found some new ones on eBay. I ordered one With shipping it's about $10. I should get it in about a week. I don't know if I can add more music to it, but if I can get it charged, at least I can listen to what's already on it.
I still have my Sony Walkman and two different Sony Discmans, too.
