My Complete Black Friday Shopping Today

1. We paid off two store credit cards online.
2. We will run to the least crowded store to pick up AAA Batteries for the TV remote that crapped out this morning (pending).

That's all folks!

I'll have to go to the immigrant-owned (I'll take a car load of those fellas over any MAGAtry) local fast food place (not a franchise/chain) and get gyros cheese fries for my daily meal. It's a nice treat. About $12 or $13 with a 2 liter of pop - excellent price for the North Side of Chicago. Enough food for two meals. Grocery store tomorrow.

I don't celebrate holidays. No point. No family. No kids. No people. Just me and a cat.

Unfortunately significant holiday gifts haven’t been a thing for me for a while.

the fish with miso/lemon compound butter sauce that she seems to like so much. My purchases consisted of SO-DIMMS I ordered yesterday (Thursday) because the slow computer was driving me crazy and I finally gave in an upgraded.

I am running low on Zyn. I chewed tobacco on and off for over 40 years until last year when I switched to the nicotine pouches.
