Today marked the first
full day of what I felt was in the saddle. The day was beautiful
temperature wise it seemed to take forever to get very incidentals
out-of-the-way to get outside roaming around my world. I spent the
morning waiting for my clothes to dry (it seemed to just take forever
but the point being it only took only one drying cycle! I don't know
why this was the case because it generally takes to drying cycles.
However, it seemed to take forever for the drying to end. Then of
course I have to do my bike workout another half an hour. Finally, I
crawled into my vest and sprinted out the busstop. I didn't go far
and I really wasn't gone long the traveling south just a couple
blocks. I went to the dollar store.
All a Dollar or whatever
it's called was my destination . I needed new batteries, AA's and
AAA's. I got one of each, with six batteries in each package I felt I
should be covered for at least the next couple of months. I was taken
aback when last week are desperately needed one AA but cannot find
any of the dozens I must have laying around his apartment. They are
all gone. Well, I am covered now. Of course, when you're in the
dollar store I cannot buy just one item. I secretly wanted to get at
least two boxes of Fiddle Fadde and that's what I got if I really got
what I wanted I would've purchased five boxes but I practiced
restraint. By then, I was out of control when jar dill pickle spears,
mouthwash, two bars of soap (antibacterial) two packages of trail mix
and the mixed nuts. The total came to about $17, which I still think
is a deal. I pretty much gotten everything on my list, if I have a
list, still I wanted to go to the coffee shop, maybe wander through
some of the clothing discount places like T.J. Maxx and the like. But
didn't want to push it or myself so I headed for the busstop.
Today was delightfully
warm almost in the upper 50s. Lots of sunshine until the end of my
shopping trip when the clouds begin moving in with threeats of the
storm still two days out. I smiled at people at my busstop and was
glad when the bus pulled up and I boarded for the quick trip home. It
was almost 4:00 PM so I still have ample time for my 430 broadcast of
Marketplace. I've missed the local broadcast which is at 3 PM but
know I can always the rebroadcasts of my show at 430 from WNYC in New
York City. I'm cool that way. The day had turned chilly as the clouds
has moved in. I was kind of excited for dinner I made toasted ham and
cheese for lunch and still have half a sandwich which I plan to
reheat, open a can of Campbell's tomato soup and a handful of potato
chips. A real Friday night dinner…
