Fifty Tins of Beans

I have, or had, a subscription to Heinz Baked Beans via Heinz at home. At one point it was very much worth it as bear was eating a lot of baked beans. He is no longer eating a lot of baked beans and I didn't see the warning that the next shipment was on its way. I already had a bean mountain and it's got bigger. 

I cancelled the subscription but I still have the mountain. To be fair, they won't go out of date any time soon and I plan to drop some off at the Food Bank, but it's not the only food mishap I've had. I ordered some meat bones which arrived on Wednesday. In the past I've roasted them and then cooked them slowly with veggies and they had been awesome. I started roasting them today and they were mainly fat. None of use would eat that, so it was wasted. I'm so annoyed. 

But it could be worse. I made it to the opticians and he did the whole exam and it seems that my eyes are currently healthy. There were a few moments when I found myself freaking out. The experience at the hospital seems to have made me twitchier, and I'm unimpressed. As it is, my prescription has changed and I'm picking up new glasses on 22 December. My eyes feel very tired and I'll be glad when I get the proper fit. Another good thing is that the optician checked and I'm absolutely fine to drive. I was worrying about that. 

And then, because of a route change due to road works, I found myself going past Aldi and called in and picked up the bagels that I forgot to get earlier, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. I really hadn't wanted to go, but I did and I feel better for it. 

I completely forgot to take pics.

I've worked out that I feel creakier as the day goes on. I need to be mindful of this and make sure that I do the more physical work in the morning. I've got a month before bear's parent's evening. I need to work on my fitness for that because at the moment I'm not physically fit enough to do all the walking that I'd need to do. I'll see how I go with this. The list stuff is helping. I've not done everything that I wanted to over the last week, but that's okay. I'll just keep chipping away at stuff. Yesterday I peeled and chopped 1kg of carrots, a head of celery and a couple of onions for the freezer. I've got the rest of the onions to do, but I can do them bit by bit over the next few days. 

Writing stuff - I don't know if anyone is interested, but I've posted a review of a book on my writing blog here. I want to make this a regular thing as it brings me discipline and helps me expand my reading. 

Hugs and good health to all.
