dreamflowerIt's been one of those kind of days.
Good news: we've been approved for the loan to replace our central A/C
Bad news: it will add $99 a month to our electric bill.
Good news: Our new health insurance covers new glasses. We had our eye exams yesterday.
Bad news: Looks like my husband may have glaucoma. *And* a cataract.
Good news: I volunteered to be a categorizer at the MEFAs
Bad news: I can't seem to get in to do any categorizing; yahoo hates me.
Good news: I've been working on my Challenge 17 story
Bad news: It seems to have fizzled out; I may have to start over
Cut for rant
Why is it that it is so hard to find products with "no salt added" at the stores? You would think with everyone being told that we should not eat so much of it, that it would be more available. And then there's this: if something has no-salt, then an ingredient has been *left out*. Tell me, why is it more expensive to *leave something out*? Why do they charge more when something is *not there*? And what is it with Mrs. Dash and the other no-salt blends? They *don't taste salty*!!! So how can you substitute them? And why do they make a fake salt that the doctors tell you not to use either, as it will mess up your potassium? Why is there ever only *one* package of No-Salt Added Potato Chips in the store, and why does only *one* company make them?
In better news, both the DH and I have a day off tomorrow. Together. The two of us. And it's payday.
We're going to see the new Star Wars.
And have some fun.
I hope.
