I’m not crazy about Sundays. I spend too much time worrying about wasting the rest of my free time. Take today, for instance. We slept in, which was very nice, got up a little after 10 (I think), had breakfast around 11, watched some episodes of Mad About You, and went out around noon to get haircuts and buy holiday cards. We’re back, it’s not yet 2 o’clock, and I feel like so much of the day is gone already. It doesn’t help that the sun goes down before 5pm now. I don’t really have anything else to do today, so I should just relax and enjoy it. And I will. Eventually. I’m going to run (which should be interesting; it’s pretty windy today), and then shower, and then curl up on the couch and start on these holiday cards. We got our first one yesterday. I was going to check out the new Bloom’s that just opened in the neighborhood (I need contact solution) and maybe get something for dinner. Maybe I should do that before I run so I don’t have to go out again. Maybe I should run to the store. 🙂
(A couple of hours later…)
I did. I ran to the store. It’s not even a mile away (I think). Getting there was easy. And I wasn’t buying much. So I just grabbed my wallet and put it in one of those cloth grocery bags, rolled it up, and carried it in one hand. It was certainly chilly and windy, but I was warm enough while running. And I was immediately overheated when I walked into the store. I managed. Anyway, I grabbed what I needed, checked out, and headed home. It’s a LOT harder to run home with a bag full of stuff. It wasn’t heavy (maybe 5 or 6 pounds), but hanging the bag from my shoulder meant it was bumping against my hip with every step. I tried cradling it in my arms in front of me, but that was awkward, too. So I ended up walking most of the way home. I think next time I’ll try a backpack.
Now it’s about 5 o’clock. We ensconced on the couch with our cheese and crackers. John is trying to install a game on his laptop. I will probably read. Catch you later.

Where is Bloom’s and what is it?

Bloom is the grocery store chain that bought out Food Lion. Maybe not nationwide, but everywhere there was a Food Lion around here (a dirty, dingy, icky Food Lion), there is now a new, bright, clean Bloom. The one in our neighborhood is at the corner of Portsmouth and Belmont Ridge Road, at that stoplight. If you want to find it on a map, look up our house and then edge north a little. (This store opened just before Thanksgiving and isn’t listed on the Bloom website yet.)
