It never fails. Mom gets sick, yet life STILL has to go on. Groceries have to be bought, library books returned.
I made it to the library, returned our CDs, books and Wii game and then headed to Wal-mart. Not feeling well, I circled around the traffic circle more than once (after realizing it wasn't where I wanted to turn--I wanted the NEXT traffic circle.) It's ALWAYS a little embarassing doing donuts around a traffic circle (Yes, I've had experience.)
On the way to Wal-mart, the library called to let me know one of the CD cases was missing a CD. Ugh!! which means, I have to go back--and it's not exactly in our neighborhood.
Wal-mart was fine, but I had trouble getting the groceries into the back of my station wagon. The hydraulics NEVER hold up when it is the least bit chilly outside. So, I'd be putting groceries in and the hatch would close on me making me appear as if I were being eaten by the back of my car.
I headed to the Post Office.The PO nearest our house is conveniently located in the same exact building as an Adult Book/Video store (now isn't THAT just lovely). Steve wishes I wouldn't use this particular post office, but...it's the most convenient one. The men going in and out of the bookstore always avoid eye contact and look a little bit embarassed, I really do not think they are going to attack me. Steve told me to go from the car to the PO and back quickly. So, I did, and I immediately locked my car door and then realized I had closed the string of my coat inside the door.
I finally made it home, managed to get the groceries out (while struggling with the hatchback) only to find that the library e-mailed me as soon as I left home letting me know the items we reserved are in. Well, I DO have to go back with the CD that failed to get returned. Today is just one of THOSE days.
Now, when this is the MOST EXCITING thing you can think of to blog about, you KNOW you need to get out more often.  |
