Last Thing You Bought?

[Val]

I also bought some prunes for myself. I’m old now.

Do you think that eating prunes is a prerogative of the elderly only? I'll disappoint you, but i'm stealing your prunes and devouring them almost every day, especially at work (it helps me not to feel constipated after being overloaded with my shitty boss' bullsh*t).

I've been eating like 4-6 prunes every morning! Nothing special about them being laxative other than stereotype, no more or less than other dried fruit. Now prune JUICE I would imagine is-m but that's a lot of concentration!
I started getting them from Trader Joes as those don't have potassium sorbate, which is a preservative and makes them feel slimy.
I just may go out of my way to get my son these potato donuts he's been craving for so long . Nice parks in that area I'd like to walk in- supposed to be really nice today, the sun's out - no sun emogee

I can eat the whole pack of prunes in one set, and it doesn't affect me in any way.

I haven't eaten prunes in years! I can't even remember how they taste.

I have been spring cleaning all day so I thought I deserved a reward.

I ordered a necklace, slippers, knickers and a new faux leather wallet.

I also ordered some of the Skyn Iceland range of beauty products as I read they were vegan and meant to be very good. Expensive, though! I hope they are worth the hype.

I was about to say that I used to own a bag of runes, then I realised you meant prunes!

Runes - Wikipedia

I've known quite a few people with IBS, I worked at a company and lots of people had it as it can be stress related. Have you tried meditation/ giving up gluten /keeping a food diary to see if that makes any difference?xxx It must be very debilitating for you.

I don't know if I've ever tried prunes!

 

[vegannatasha]

lol
oops typo. I fixed it. I didn't notice that! I blame it on insomnia.

I avoid gluten. I have been doing meditation. I have noticed certain foods cause horrible problems so i avoid them.Yes it's a nightmare. Stress is a huge trigger. Everything gives me stress! I've tried all kinds of herbs too. Hormones is a trigger for me too. I get horrible pms symptoms and my period is so crazy painful.
I am going to try acupuncture this year so that might help. I sure hope so.

Prunes are actually just dried plums. “Prunes” have such a negative connotation to them, as something that old people eat to relieve constipation, that the companies that make prunes, in order to boost profits, now call them dried plums and market them to younger consumers as a nutritious snack that anyone can enjoy.

I bought a bottle of wine, baguettes, highlighter pens, some little storage boxes, dog toys and toothpaste today.

So funny as I just read that exact thing today!

I read that prunes are meant to help you avoid osteoporosis as well if you eat 5-6 a day. I might look for them tomorrow when I'm out.

I hope so too.xx

Thay makes sense Amy, because I do have that impression of them.

I got my new monitor. It's a 27-inch HP with 4k display. It's so nice and big and the picture is great. I also bought a wireless mouse and a power strip. My work station is coming together. Now I just need a keyboard. A friend supposedly has an extra one that she said she'd give me, so we'll see. I used part of my tax refund to buy all this. Yahoooo!

From now on, there's going to be a great temptation to watch movies all day long (or play sophisticated games).

Hahaha, this is true. I already checked to see how a movie I borrowed from the library would play on it.

This is a great day, as i've got my wages, lol. ...I'm really insane: i've spent so much... But i always buy a lot on the pay day, and then i'm frugal for the rest of the month, except that i still have to buy meds, food and pay for transport.
So, i got:
A pack of black chia seeds;
2 bars of vegan soap by "Levrana" (i called the shop in "Continent" mall beforhead and asked them if they have my favourite soap,- i'll buy more later this month, as it doesn't last very long);
A pack of amaranth seeds (it's a little cheaper at "Starry" subway station);
3 small boxes of oat-vanilla creamer;
Big jar of sliced pickled jalapeños;
2 huge boxes of pickled yuba;
2 packs of raw shredded beets (i'll use one of them in my cabbage-beet juice tonight, if i don't fall asleep right away);
A pack of shredded cabbage;
Dark chocolate;
10 tiny packs of citrus dressing;
2 bottles of citrus lemonade with turmeric and rosemary;
2 boxes of diosmectite;
1 box of complex pancreatine pills;
4 packs of Ciprofloxacine antibiotics;
Nasal drops;
Stupid journal about UFOs for mom (i'm making her read all this stuff in hope that she becomes more enlightened, hehehe).

New curtains for my kitchen. They are slightly heavier than sheers, with a pretty stitched, gray flower pattern going through them. They match really nicely with the new paint.

More painting supplies: roller refills and a two-inch angled brush. The next project will be my guest room/office. I picked up swatches as well (very light greens and lavenders).

A vegan soft serve ice cream cone (chocolate/vanilla swirl) at Divine Treasures, the vegan candy shop near me. I am so lucky that place is so close by.

Oh, and I found a wedge of Violife Parmesan at my local health food store. I couldn't believe it was in there. I've not seen any Violife products in my area. I tried a bit with crackers and it was delicious! The texture is marvelous. I look forward to grating it and putting on pasta and salads.

These are some of my trophies i bought
on Friday.
Portable accumulator for Xiaomi (20000mAh). It cost $42.2.


A funny cheap cover for my new foreign passport. I'm very proud that i saw this cover in a "dollar store", hehehe.


My new head of purple kapusta. I haven't made the juice yet. I'll be making it in the evening, after a walk.

I got rid of all my CDs a few years ago when I was going through a massive decluttering phase but I actually bought two new CDs today. I bought a Black Kids album and the most recent Muse album. I'm going to see Muse in concert in June.

I also bought one of those LCD writing tablets to put on the fridge to remind me of things I need to do each day.
