I have been experiencing a lot of pain lately in my kidneys. I did a Google search and just like I thought the "probable" culprits might be Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg and Amlodipine 5mg. I have high blood pressure and have been taking Losartan 100 mg. for a long time. They had to first add Hydrochlorothiazide and recently Amlodipine to bring my BP readings to more acceptable levels. As much as I dread it, I am going to have to go in person to see the doctor.
I have been so tired lately both Thursday and Friday night I went to bed early. Last night I sat down to watch an HGTV show before the ten o'clock news and when I woke up it was 1:00 a.m. Went to put on my pajamas and surprisingly went right back to sleep. I was wide awake by 3:20 a.m. but at least I had gotten 6 hours of sleep something that I do not usually get.
Waited for the sun to come up so I could go to the post office, as well as to fill up my car. It was very cloudy this morning. As I passed HEB I noticed that there were very few cars in the parking lot so decided to make a quick stop.
Bought my usual salads, grape tomatoes, olive oil, nopalitos (cactus), and bananas. Rick and Kathy of "It's About Time" fame https://ricknkathyrousseau.blogspot.com/2020/09/ourlocation-today-is-at-windsor-ontario.html
mentioned that in their locality the price of soup has doubled from two weeks ago so filled my cart with several as well as other canned goods.
While dairy prices have remained steady bought a carton of 18 eggs versus the 12 egg-carton. I paid a very reasonable $1.59 for them.
As I passed the aisle where flour is found I could not help but think of Penelope when she told me she had scored a 10 lb. bag of flour a couple months ago. So took these pictures to see how they compare currently price-wise to those in her area.
They still do not have national brand disinfecting wipes but today they had these large containers of them that in my opinion, were overpriced. I still have the ones I bought at Dollar Tree before the shutdown so I'm good.
The last time I was at Little HEB I bought some Viva paper towels. Since this is their larger store they had their bigger sized one, took the opportunity to stock up on them as well. I paid for the 8 = 24 rolls $16.98.
Noticed how high the price for Clorox was...at over $4.00 plus for a gallon container...it would be a budget buster for me. Sorry, the picture is so blurred :-(
I wanted to buy my favorite brand of sugar-free ice cream but they only had Banana Split so I passed.
As I was in line to pay I saw this Día de los Muertos reusable bag but it did not have a price tag and I did not need it either.
Filled-up at their pumps as gasoline prices have been rising.
