Day 10

Ok, so I didn't go shopping yesterday. I'm lazy and now I have no food in the house. Serves me right I suppose, now I get to eat Ichiban for dinner.

I did have an interesting conversation with Natalie Odd from Clean Calgary today though. Apparently the Ecostore sells reusable bags to use for produce and bulk items. This was one area I was having a problem finding an alternative to a plastic bag.

I think I still may take the cheap route and reuse my old yogurt containers -- I think they are light enough not to make much difference to the weight. Suppose I will have to see if some nice Safeway clerk will weigh my empty container for me.....

Cleaning out the cat box the other day was extra gross because there were left over "kitty treasures" that stuck in the plastic bin I use after I dumped it in the dumpster. I actually had to get in there and wash it out. Ick. And we don't exactly have a laundry sink either so it was a decision between bathtub and kitchen sink. I chose kitchen sink.....for some reason having cat crap where we eat seemed less gross than having cat crap where we bathe. Kyle votes for bathtub.....I think that was probably the correct choice...next time. For now I just REALLY scrubbed the sink - and try not to think about it too much.
