Paige came today and I headed to Carrefour to do the weekly shopping. About 20 minutes into shopping, she called and asked if I could come back. Her dog has been extremely ill this last month and her husband just called to tell her they were at the vet again. The dog's condition was deteriorating and Paige had to leave. I finished my shopping and arrived back home in about 30 minutes. Paige left immediately.
There were some things I still need from Auchan, so I put Joan's shoes, hat and coat on, and we went there to pick them up. It wasn't too much, so we could put it all into a bag I took with us.
Between Carrefour and Auchan, I spent $54 for a week of food. I hesitate to think how much it will cost for gasoline for the car when I need it, thanks to that moron in the White House.
Meanwhile: Ukraine
The European Union has received €1.4 billion ($1.5 billion) in profits generated from immobilized Russian central bank assets, the European Commission said on Wednesday, April 1.
The funds, derived from interest accumulated on frozen assets held within the EU, will be directed to support Ukraine.
According to the European Commission, 95% of the proceeds will be used to support Ukraine through the Ukraine Loan Cooperation Mechanism, which helps Kyiv service loans provided by the EU and G7 partners.
The remaining 5% will be allocated via the European Peace Facility to address Ukraine’s military and defense needs.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the funds would help sustain public services and support Ukraine’s armed forces.
