susandennisThere won't be any cheese straws today... maybe tomorrow. Today turned out to be Run Errands All Over Town Day. I did not even do my parking lot walk because - see previous sentence.
This morning I did do the little market that I usually love but today there was no love - they didn't have what I wanted and they lost one of my bags and their Google Pay station didn't work.
But, then I called and ordered up Chinese which was ready for me when I got there. I had considered ordering from the place that is much closer but turns out they don't open til 11 so back to the inconvenient place which is about half the cost and, after eating it for lunch, I remembered just how delicious it is. Happily I ordered enough so that I have two more full meals in the fridge.
Then, this afternoon, I hit the wrong button. Instead of 'print a label and leave out for UPS pick up', I hit 'I'll take it to a UPS store' Ugh. Except there's one not that far from the vet - pick up and nearly across the street from the pet food store. So out again.
Interestingly, I actually rarely leave the house, particularly in the car, after lunch. I'm used to being at places when the door opens. So places that have 2 or 3 or 4 parking places reserved for them in a lot, always have a space for me. Turns out, in the afternoons, those parking slots are full! They were at the vet. They were at UPS and they were at the pet food store. I'm sticking to my mornings.
Also the pet food store didn't have Biggie's favorite. Biggie's going to need to get a new favorite. They sent me home with a bunch o' free samples. I love that store.
OMG!!! The county just issued the most amazing order... Starting October 25, Proof of vaccine OR recent negative test will be required! for all indoor dining, drinking, entertainment, outdoor sports, gyms, movie theaters, music venues. Whoa!!! Way to go, my local government!!! You are the best. I'm very impressed and very grateful.
And there is more breaking news... This just in from condo email:
Ella found her way home at 4:30am last night. Not sure where she went, but I heard her outside on the balcony in the early morning hours. Thanks to everyone who has been on the lookout, and no more midnight balcony adventures for Ella!
I started watching Finding Alice on Acorn TV last night. It's excellent and I want to find out what happens so tuning in now!

Date: 2021-09-17 12:42 am (UTC)I am always shocked when I run out mid-day to run an errand and everywhere is full. I'm sure everyone else is thinking the same thing :)
