But the snow was light powder, easily removed, and I was on my way in less than 10 minutes.
List:
Laundry
Gallon jug of Dill Pickles - don't ask - explanation(?) maybe later.
Fuel car - $0.20 cents off per gallon. Works for me.
Bank - papers to safe box and open new guarenteed low-interest VISA
Kitchen store - check prices on needed items
Clothing store - check prices on winter items on sale for 60% off.
Post Office
Grocery store for specials
Financial Consultant - learn what can be squeezed out of what little remains. Nothing earth-shattering, but better than the old bank and a bit better than the new local one.
Thrift Shop - drop off boxes of household items and books from storage unit.
And it's back to the apartment by 3 p.m. All missions accomplished and feeling good, especially now that the sun has come out. The only casualty is the car, again coated with road salt and whatever they spray on these roads. I had the car washed Sunday before work, and it looks like I will again tomorrow. This buggy will have to last a while so taking care of it is a priority. It's 5 years old and been driven less than 20k miles. Well, Where do I go?
There are a few dress shirts to iron before cocktail time, so I will get that out of the way along with light vacuuming of the living space.
My second day off tomorrow is totally free to do whatever strikes my fancy, and my fancy isn't struck often enough anymore. A luxury and more so because the forecast calls for sun and warmer temps - into the low 40s F. A veritable heat wave!!!
There are two new recipes I'm eager to try so cooking may take up part of the end of the day. With fresh cilantro scarse this time of year, I may not do the recipe I'd prefer to try first. A nice winter stew.
Hey, it is what it is, right?
More later.

Enjoyed your cheery post! Five years and less than 20K on the car??? Wow - that's like having a brand-new car so-to-speak.
ReplyDeletePickled by the gallon? Not strange for me, since I love them and keep them as a crispy snack (rather than eating potato chips).
Also, when the pickles are gone, I love to use the liquer to pickle baby carrots; onions, asparagus, cauliflower and sweet peppers - justplop all of them in the same gallon jar - refrigerate, and enjoy.
Glad you had such a good day, and enjoy yourself tomorrow - you deserve it. Diane
Enjoy those days!
ReplyDelete(but a *gallon* of pickles?!)
Wonderful to read your happy, upbeat posting. Hey, I'm still looking for that vacuum cleaner beater attachment. It's around here someplace.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's this with a gallon jar of pill dickles? No spell check?
That sounded like a very pleasant day. It is the sort that I enjoy doing.
