Yippee!! I got my first SS deposit yesterday! Now I don't have to feel like I am in limbo any more.
I paid my mortgage and my Discover bill, which was $791. (I put everything on Discover and pay in full.) My $43 electricity payment was withdrawn.
I walked to Walgreens to get my flu shot, which was free, even the high-dose. Then I started to buy a watch battery, but no one was able to help me install it, and I was afraid to try. Later in the day, I was cleaning some of the crud off my watch with a straight pin, and the back of the watch popped off! I went back and bought that battery and installed it myself. It was $6. Watch is working great.
I also watched Elysium and then walked to the library to get new DVD's. The new batch is Interstellar, Blue Jasmine and The Kite Runner.
I made rice pancakes for dinner last night, using leftover rice. They were delicious! Here is the recipe: 1 cup flour, 1 cup yogurt, 1 egg, 3/4 cup cooked rice (mashed a little) and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Add enough water to make a smooth batter. I fried small dollops in butter. They are very tender, so you can't make big pancakes; they are too hard to flip. Served them with butter and syrup, and they were delicious. I put half the batter in the freezer to have some other time.
Today's menu:
Breakfast: English muffin
Lunch: Olive-nut sandwich, apple
Dinner: Green bean casserole w/ bacon
I am almost out of algae thins so I have to make a trip to PetSmart today. I think I'll stop in at Aldi as well (they're next to each other). There are a few things on my list, and I might as well get them cheap!
Paid!

Thanks for the recipe for rice pancakes, I've noted and will try-out when next I have leftover rice. Terrific that batter can be frozen.
I bought an inexpensive gizmo this spring to remove the back of wristwatches when I'd had a spate of battery replacements. DH uses a mini pocket knife blade to easily remove the backing. I look for the made in Korea watch batteries as I find the made in China don't last more than a year. Is it because of our very cold weather?

I got an Energizer battery, not sure where it was made. My last one sure didn't last long!
