A good day to be out.

I never did pick up sticks, though I think I will be able to do so after events of today. My friend called back and I got out. He seems to like his gift. It seems today was a lucky day for him. He received a refund, a birthday gift of money, and the last of Christmas gifts. Being a lucky day, and wishing to share, he took me out to dinner! Gratefully, I accepted his gift. Before I picked him up, I made it to the bank and put a check from another account into this one.

After the meal, and since he had a rough day with the blood infusion today, my friend simply wanted to go home. Fair enough. It was raining anyway. I had other things to do. First to Wal-Mart. I had meant to look for a magnetic or cork board. I ended up getting more. A new blade for the driver side window wiper, a good supply of wet cat food, a magnetic and cork board, large and small tacks, and more treats. As I run out of cat treats I give them out less, not being sure when I might pick up more. I think this might be why Sassy is acting up.

After that a trip to one of the local arts and crafts stores. I had looked at Wal-Mart but found nothing that would quite work. I found everything I needed save for a couple of mesh bags. Asking a worker, I was lead to some kind of wedding section. She showed me some really expensive bags, semi-transparent but rather bulky and difficult to use for my purposes. I passed on that. Ugh. On my way out I saw bags of rocks at two bags for $3. The rocks were in the PERFECT mesh bags. Done, and done. Though what to do with the rocks? Whatever. Then shopping at the grocery store. I should be set for a bit. I haven't really started to build my stocks back up, but I won't until I can figure out how to clean the place up and start fresh. I have some more easy food, some frozen meats, and a few treats in any case. On my way out of town I took my vehicle through a car wash. It needed it, and actually needs it again even so. But I feel better about having done it.

Yeah, everything and a little more. I still have to create the balance and check the bullets. I didn't get to laundry or dishes. I am still satisfied. I found during shopping that I am pretty much able to do a good deal more. Slowing down just a hair is enough to catch my breath and continue going. I was able to handle six different stops, a meal in the middle of it, and got everything on my list and a few things that have been nagging me for a while which weren't technically on the list. If it is clean and clear tomorrow I am hoping to pick up sticks and perhaps use the weed whacker. Who knows, who ever knows, what will actually be done.

Later or good night.
