Had to go grocery shopping today. I had a budget of $50, and had to buy food for about 2 weeks. So, that meant a trip to Fuquay-Varina (I just love saying that name, fooo-kway vah-ree-nah. Makes me smile) and to Aldis. I love Aldis. I started off making a list of essentials at home. Grabbed all the essentials, writing down the prices, then used my little calculator to add it up. About $18. So then I could get "fill-ins." Things we could use, but didn't necessarily need. Things like, a second loaf of bread, more lunchmeat, strawberries and angel food cake, more tuna, canned broth... Only problem was, they didn't have cloves. So, my total there was about $38.

Went to Lowe's Foods for cloves. Almost $7 for a tiny jar of cloves!!! Yikes. But, since I was there, and was spending $7 on cloves, figured I'd look at the ice cream, as the Edy's was buy one get one free, plus I had a coupon for $1 off the slow-churned light. Got one of vanilla and one of chocolate. The chocolate's pretty darn good, and not just for "light" ice cream, for chocolate ice cream in general.

While putting groceries away, got a call from my doctor about my test results. All the blood work from Thursday came back absolutly normal. The glucose test had one elevated glucose level, but needs two to be serious, but all the insulin levels were elevated. She recommended seeing an endocrinologist she'd mentioned before, one who specializes in PCOS. So now, while still sort of "on-hold" insurance-wise, at least I know I'm insulin resistant, for sure, and I have a name and a starting point for when I know about my insurance situation.
